weekend
paul-william, cory, and i went down to st. mary’s county, maryland, which is where cory and alison grew up. we arrived at cory’s house and met his dogs (piper and rita, both crazy, both great) and sat a little bit, then headed over to alison’s mom’s place, which is on the water and has a dock or something. there was a lot of food and cory’s dad made us drinks. i had two drinks and was honestly just completely done and then felt really sick and went to bed, sleeping through fireworks from further down the water, sparklers, and everything else. i don’t mind at all though, i got so much sleep this weekend, it was wonderful.
today we woke up late and had fruit and honey and biscuits and then hung out at the end of the dock. it wasn’t very warm, but cory jumped into the water, and then two kids from next door came out with their grandmother and we watched them as they jumped into the water and splashed around for a while. when we were all good and tired of that, we headed back and alison’s mom lit a sweet fire and the kids helped get sticks and it was really nice and laid back. alison’s birthday is wednesday so she opened presents from her mom and then we headed back to cory’s for a little bit, then back to alison’s where we had ice cream floats and watched tv until 11pm and then cory drove us all back up to baltimore.
i did a lot of thinking, in between being tired and being asleep.

this is really neat. i uploaded Frankmusik’s “Confusion Girl” and then clicked around with my mouth hanging open (unintentional!), especially in the room of superheroes (a quirkier-than-quirky touch that I really appreciate). Very very cool.
summer fun
we’re in the car heading to lexington park, in st. marys county, which is somewhere in southern maryland where cory and alison grew up. we’re going to hang out and swim and run around and eat and drink and have a blast. I have bug spray, sunscreen, and claritin so I’m going to love every second of it with no complaints. plus its a totally different world down there, honestly.Frankmusik - Confusion Girl - Official Video
I can’t believe this single is only coming out now. I thought this was a lot older. Grab some mixes here.
La Roux - “Bulletproof” (via acc)
I am so into this song, it’s been in my head all day. Best part of getting into songs late? Like Bat For Lashes’ “Daniel,” there are already a ton of mixes out to get excited about.

useful information from zach+britt
if you curse into the phone when stuck on the bank of america automated phone system, you are automatically transferred to a real person.
useful!
jesse and i bought crappy backpacks for wharts and i am really into bows so i made one and stitched it on.
also they had some “proud to be american” ribbons and i thought about getting it for danny so he could wear it with his dress shirts.
