I had a little epiphany today: I realized I keep waiting for things to get better, but they're never just going to "get better." I need to make them better. Now I just need to figure out how exactly, and make that leap, even though I'm terrified about fucking up and actually making things worse. Being a grownup is hard, but I think I just need to suck it up.
In the meantime, a little retail therapy: The Rosebuds (Birds Make Good Neighbors), Neko Case (Fox Confessor Brings the Flood), The Essex Green (Cannibal Sea), The Decemberists (Castaways and Cutouts), Nouvelle Vague (Nouvelle Vague), and lots of Lush goodies.
(Also, as of 2 minutes ago, "Don't Know Why (You Stay)" by The Essex Green is my new favorite song. Actually, the whole CD is pretty great. Try it, Mikey; you'll like it.)
