I received Passion Pit's Manners cd as a Christmas gift, and every track on it is quite wonderful. The band has been getting tons of buzz over the past year, and rightfully so; I'm glad I bought into it.
Here's "To Kingdom Come," which I seem to can't stop playing:

Awesome Amaaaazing Best Happy Also Amazing Killer Lovely
Ok. Here goes. Catch-up time!
So I went through my last few posts, and I realized that I basically haven't updated properly since September. I deserve quite a few slaps on the wrist.
Since a whole semester has flown by and thus many many events, bullet list the format be:
Chronological events since last September-
-the Boston trip was awesome!
--Cabaret was amaaaazing. It blew my expectations out of the water. Our seats were in the absolute most front possible. We felt IN the show- the actors were performing all over the place, even cutting through amongst the tables. Bonus: Amanda Palmer came out at the very beginning of the show dressed in a sheer, barely-there dress and rolled around on the stage right in front of us. She's quite beautiful.
--the day before we saw her in a mini-concert, Amanda Fucking Palmer's Late Night Fucking Cabaret. It was also quite beautiful. She played Ampersand, I almost died.
-Halloween was one of my best ever. Maybe the best. (It lasted approximately 4 days). I got to dress up as a Gryffindor student and Captain Hammer. Fuck yes.
-The boyfriend and I broke up. It's pointless to go into details. But I had been thinking about breaking up for a while anyway, and it's definitely for the best. We just didn't fit. And now I'm happy.
-November was also amazing. My New Jersey bestie came to visit and we had an EPIC weekend. All in one day (starting at 12:00am) we saw the premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt.1, ate the delicious dumplings on the Corner, visited Downtown (yummy tea & hookah, found a legit hippie headband at a legit vintage oldies store), and saw Dave Matthews Band in his hometown on his second-to-last concert for who knows how long. He played Halloween. We almost died.
-Finals were killer. I basically lived in the library. Along that note, my grades for my first semester at my new school were the worst I've ever gotten. Ironically, these grades I worked the hardest in my life for. Such is life. They're not terrible, but I plan to do better.
-Christmas was lovely. I got a television! We might have to rearrange the dorm room around it though...which I'll feel bad about.
That about sums it up. I'm going back to school this weekend and I'm pretty excited. I miss my friends and I'm definitely sick of my family (I was from day one). Though I'll miss relaxing and just watching TV shows all day. Seriously. I've watched seasons 1-3 Deadwood, s1-4 Mad Men, s5 Dexter, s1 Twin Peaks, s1 Doctor Who, and half-way done with s5 Supernatural. Wow.
Hopefully I'll be better about updating in the future. D'oh.
