Guess who is going to Alaska right after the solstice? 11 days, people!
In preparation I watched Into the Wild. It was a really good movie, with an amazing soundtrack by Eddie Vedder (I didn’t like the heavy sound of Pearl Jam, but this accoustic set is really nice). You should be warned that it is a sad movie in the end. You should also be warned that even though the poster has some chick on the cover it is NOT a love story. It’s really a movie about having a broader set of relationships than with family, and since it’s based on a true story, I think they made the girl up. Anyways, curl up with your kleenex for the end and watch the movie! And then get the soundtrack.
In other wild news, I have decided that as an act of charity I will become a DJ in the KW. After my faculty had a party which cost 35 bucks but they refused to hire a DJ, and then attending another graduate student formal event where the DJ played songs from Dance Mix ‘96 (Mr. Vain–I kid you not), I realized that my worst has GOT to be better than the next guy’s. So, I am currently getting music from friends, and trying to figure out how to call the musical genres I will blend. Then, I will come up with a name. I have been accused of being all talk and no action, but frankly, it takes a while to build up the (very minimal) infrastructure and marketing strategy.
That’s all the wild news.
