Summer so Far:

Summer so far, that I can remember right now. I'm sure there's plenty I'm missing.

Books read: The Double Helix, Slaughterhouse Five, How Soccer Explains the World

Books I need to read: Picture of Dorian Grey, House of Leaves, 7 Habits of Highly Successful People (for my dad.)

Movies/Documentaries:
Gonzo, Serenity, Gangs of New York, the Goonies, others...

Movies/Documentaries I need to watch: Fear and Loathing, the Graduate, Memento, There Will Be Blood, Milk, basically any other movie that Kayla Atnip brought me.

Music: 8bit music, Wayne Brady's debut album, Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam (Yes, just now.), those two new Arcade Fire singles, the Avett Brothers, Bob Marley & the Wailers' Exodus, Aaron Copland's works, Bluegrass, Dubstep, Gang Starr, Rob Base's "It Takes Two," Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Memory Tapes, Noah and the Whale, Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, others...

Stuff I am doing/have done: Make a potato gun, participate in the most epic poke war there ever was, go to the Y regularly, start brewing tea, stop smoking, hang out with a lot of cooooool cats, get shoulder surgery, start to recover, attend physical therapy with Micah, visit BRLS, visit Boone (which has the best weather ever in the summertime). Do a little bit of partying.

Stuff I have not done yet: Dance in the rain, fully recover from my shoulder surgery, hang out with some long lost friends (yes, that's you, reader.), win a certain poke war, organize some sort of ridiculous event, play more music, Urban Capture the Flag, document my life with pictures, be vegetarian for a week, go to a concert, go to a music festival (pitchfork? eh?), find my major, learn physics, go exploring, go hiking, roadtrip somewhere ridiculous (Harry Potter world?), homebrew something similar to the potato gun, make an 8bit masterpiece.

Suggestions? Please and thank you.

  1. The last four of your movies mentioned that you need to see are all fantastic and I would like to join you for some of them.

    And there's no way you could be a vegetarian for a week. If you try it, I'll be leaving Five Guys on your front porch every day.

  2. You should check out Mumford & Sons.

    But this poke war you speak of...
    If you surrender now, I will be merciful.

    Lovingly living,
    A Certain Arch-Nemesis

  3. Can we please do urban capture the flag again this summer? I have nothing exciting to do in Charlotte at all and it would make me extremely happy. And if Cannon and whoever else aren't planning on organizing it again, I am so up for it.
