Me Talk Pretty One Day

I love David Sedaris. Also, wheeee, buttcrack.

You know there’s something wrong with you…

when the first thing you think when you wake up in the morning is, “Man, I can’t wait to work on that essay.”

My writing song: “Sweet Disposition” — Temper Trap

While doing research for my personal essay a couple weeks back, I scoured youtube trying to find clips from (500) Days of Summer when I came across this song, which was used in the film.  Upon listening to it, instead of becoming distracted and listening to the song like I usually do when music plays, I suddenly became productive, writing furiously until the song finished.

Needless to say, I put the song on repeat throughout the night as I wrote.

It has somehow become my writing song, able to get me writing and writing with few pauses to think.  I’m not sure what it is.  Maybe I’m just lulled by the familiar bass line throughout, or the simple melody.  Whatever it is, thank god I stumbled onto this.  It’ll come in handy when I’ll be procrastinating and desperately writing my last paper in two weeks.

The real meaning of Easter

I was going to save this for Easter, but I listened to this for the second time and absolutely loved it, so I’m posting it.  David Sedaris is so fantastic.  I cannot put into words how awesome he is.
