I don't really know what else to listen to

I am making the best playlist ever. Here it is so far:

Crazy Love, Vol. II - Paul Simon
Hungry For You (J'aurais Toujours Faim De Toi) - The Police
Something In The Air - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers Stadium Arcadium
Wonderwall - Oasis
Hella Good - No Doubt
Only Heart - John Mayer

Alright, I'm kind of kidding -- it was just my bridge between Graceland and John Mayer -- but it's not that bad. It's like a big plate of cheap cheesy fries.

A list of music essays/reviews I want to do:
  • Considering the concept of concept albums, or another look at the downward spiral of modern record labels
  • R.E.M. Live
  • Cansei de Ser Sexy
  • Beck: Another look
  • My favorite bands that everyone is tired of me wanting to listen to (I've already kind of started this one; I even drew a cartoon of Bjork to go along with it)
  • Amy Winehouse

Super Pooper Tuesday

This is kind of cool. Google Maps + Twitter delivering election news.

I didn't realize until tonight how much I wanted Obama to win....

Any thoughts?

I love math class, except for the going to class part

I seriously could not concentrate on that Super Bowl. I heard it was great.

I am still awake, and I have to wake up at 8pm or something. I guess I shouldn't drink coffee after 10pm.

I'm not too worried about homework. After a weekend of doing nothing, I'm ready to work. Linear Algebra is so simple and relaxing.

For those of you who are interested, I will be posting preliminary sketches of my sculpture for my Art 199 class. For this class, we will be planning, modeling, and presenting an idea for a sculpture we would like to see in a specific location. I have a few ideas, including:
  • a large robot made out of the steel frame of the remains of a demolished building
  • a tall, mostly featureless figure with a shovel, positioned on a beach such that sometimes sand blows into the shovel, and sometimes the sand recedes and leaves the shovel empty (kind of a kinetic sculpture; based on my sarcastic idea of making a sandcastle)
  • something that mimics the form of a bridge
Yeah, I'm not really sure what I'm going to do yet. It should be fun.

...I hope I'm not coming down with a cold.
