an announcement
natefeelslikethis.blogspot.com
That right there is my new pop culture blog. I'm not strictly talking about things only I care about in it, I swear. I double-swear that this won't affect my livejournal performance. My LJ entries will remain as shoddy and infrequent as they've ever been.
EDIT
I have three posts on there right now, btw. The first is a sort-of review of Cloverfield, the second is a link to my "live" reactions to the Oscars as well as a puzzlingly long analysis of the problematic racial and ethnic constructs in Heroes, and the third is about a song called "What What (In Your Butt)".
I feel that I am contributing to the world. The internet needs more white nerds voicing their opinions.

good news, everyone!
Sweeney Todd didn't suck at all!
Thank God!
Johnny Depp and HBC can't sing like pros, but they got by for sure.

PS: "By the Sea", "Johanna" and "A Little Priest" all ruled. In fact, Johanna and Anthony weren't as distractingly boring as usual. In fact, the kid who played Anthony did a really good job with what he was given. Even "Green Finch and Linnet Bird" managed to not bore me, which is rare.

some silliness in the form of commercials
I just decided to put some funny commercials on my journal today. Don't ask what this says about me.
This one is especially awesome..."his beard has alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body."
"The Most Interesting Man in the World
And y'all have already seen this one, probably...but I love it.
K-Fed makes fun of himself...pretty well
Tomorrow or later today, I'm gonna actually post something interesting. I swear.
Nathaniel
PS:
You've all also probably seen this, but it's always worth another look.
Be Kind. Rewind.
Whoever thought of pairing Mos Def and Jack Black is a genius.

with his weird cologne and his magic hair
She said let's put a plastic bag over our heads
and then kiss and stuff 'til we get dizzy and fall on the bed.
We were in heaven for five or six minutes, then we passed out
and I was so in love I thought I knew what love was all about.
In church on sunday making out in front of the preacher.
You had a black shirt on with a big picture of Nietzsche.
When we had done our thing for a full christian hour,
I had made up my mind that there must be a higher power.
A higher, higher power.
A higher, higher power.
At a Christmas-party, I'd hold your hair when you vomit,
I'd help you up to brush your teeth, and then I'd kiss your stomach.
We lie still on your bed, the room is lit only by the tele
and it's a perfect night for feeling melancholy.
A higher, higher power.
A higher, higher power.
More actual updates soon.

it makes sense
he decorated his long flowing beard with baubles and such.
his robes were always beautiful, bold colors (and frequently worked well with his eyes).
he was worldly, friendly, witty, and he held onto his past (especially the romantic one) pretty tightly.
he saw through Tom Riddle's charm, and was a wonderful reader of people.
Of fucking course Dumbledore was gay.

I finished my entry to the erotica contest last night. It's called "Reflections on a Few Nice Boys", and its about this girl lying awake next to a sleeping boy, studying his body.
I hope I win. The prize is twenty bucks.

charged
My parents visited this weekend. I don't think I've ever laughed with them as much as I did the first day they were here. It was a really nice visit, but it came on a strange weekend.
Saturday night, we ended up at Mt. Holyoke for about an hour, and it was ludicrous. It was Vegas Night, so everyone was plastered, and dressed up in insane outfits, and these two girls were screaming "Hoooollyyy-oooke! Hooooo-to-Poooooke!" There were so many Playboy Bunny outfits. I thought Molly O's head was going to explode. Overall, though: very nice experience.
I'm going to NYC this weekend. My friend Max is also gonna be in the city, and he got me and Noelle onto the guest list for this really cool art show (http://www.woostercollective.com/2007/10/wooster_collective_presents_armsrock_an.html). I'm excited. Max is really into graffiti, and I'm becoming quite intrigued myself. Boston-area kids (or maybe just New Englanders) are a funny species. I like 'em. They're almost more like mid-atlantic kids than they are like New Yorkers. I'm not sure if what I'm saying there is clear, but I'll explain verbally some time, I'm sure.

a real mixer
Yeah, I'm procrastinating.
I'm trying to write my Dangerous Teaching paper (which only has to be 3 or 4 pages), but I am having what my grandfather used to call "desk fright". The marigold paper is due thursday, so I figure I have tomorrow night for that. Plus, I also have mid-term (yikes, what the fuck happened to the term) self-evals to do. But that won't be hard at all.
It's a grey day up here, but the leaves are almost in full change. In fact, they may have already passed the point of no return. They're so beautiful. This is called "leap peeping" season up here. Which is pretty cute.
I'm not homesick these days, but I definitely miss everyone. Sort of in a "I wonder what ____ is doing right now?" kinda way. Meeting all these people definitely makes me realize how many wonderful people I've known and loved.
Marjorie, you should totally come up for Hampshire Halloween. This is actually an open invitation to anyone interested. It's supposed to be really fun, even if you aren't tripping face. They have a moon bounce, and a ferris wheel, and even a chillout tent! Though it's actually two classrooms. One for tripping, one for just plain being too drunk.
I think I'm gonna try to go to Providence for Thanksgiving. Molly O (pretty much my best friend up here) lived for a year in a communal house in Prov, and she and her (also awesome) boyfriend Tim might be heading there for a Thanksgiving feast. I think that would be nice. My family used to go to Cherry Hill, NJ to visit my great aunt and have dinner with my mom's family, but my mom (as of late) does not want anything to do with her relatives. So even if I didn't go with Molly, it wouldn't be real Thanksgiving.
A few weeks ago, I helped my friend Josh move a couch into his room, and since then, his room has become my home away from home. We smoke cigarettes and drink whiskey, and there are always 3 or 4 people there. It's such a nice environment. We watched most of A Hard Day's Night last night, but we are all really distractable, and ended up talking about many, many things. As it goes.
Alright, let's see if I can at least get those evals done.

shuffle
it's another strange morning, but this one is just inexplicably warm and wonderful and hopeful. I love Sunday mornings here. Saturday nights are almost always better than Fridays.
I really want to travel. I was considering going to Ireland for Jan term, but then realized that I am most likely going to want to be home for a while. But Paris and Dublin and Berlin and Beijing all sound like really good ideas right now.
I have two papers to write by Wednesday. This should be fine. Papers aren't as hard as I remember them being. Actually, I haven't gotten my first two back yet. Maybe I just really sucked. One paper is on Marigolds, while the other is about this article I got from the Amherst College library about this antebellum-period black preacher in the North who is auctioned off. So the papers have pretty stimulating subjects. Oh, except for the Marigold one. That's gonna fucking suck.
I have a feeling that weekend trips are gonna start having to be a regular occurence. The campus is great and all, but the parties here are strange. I understand that at Mt. Holyoke, the parties are all a little ackward. The only Holyoke girl (it's an all girl school) that I've met (besides two briefly on Friday) was named China. She was on the bus, and she was really friendly. Evidently, Holyoke isn't the friendliest place in the world sometimes. She seemed to be really thankful that anybody was talking to her at all.
Life is actually very nice here. I need to take more advantage of the countryside.
This girl Noelle told me that there is a beautiful little cliff one can hike to and see the whole valley (I'm in the middle of the Pioneer Valley, by the way...we'll see how this works in Winter). I think we're gonna try to hike it Wednesday or Thursday.
They also have these weekend trips out kayaking and climbing and getting dirty. I should go on one of those at some point.
I feel like I'm going to learn how to ride a bicycle very soon. But I explained to my friend Ellen last night that I think that the moment will present itself. I can't force it.
I was originally considering making a documentary about my first dozen or so bike rides ever. Get a different person to accompany me everytime, and set some bizarre, distant destination. But I'm a thinker, not a do-er.
KELLY: for the first time ever, somebody eerily reminds me of you. She's from Nova (which may explain the fact that her humor is remarkably similar to yours...you know, regional sarcasm), and she's shorter, and not exactly like you, but the resemblence is remarkable. She's pretty cool, she drove a few of us to Caribou the other day. Which ruled, by the way. The opening band was also really, really tight. They're called the Born Ruffians. They're Canadian. They're like 18. It was really funny, I was at the bar, when this guy comes up and is like "can I have a gin and tonic?" and the bartender was like "dude, id?" and he was all like nervously explaining that he was in the band. The guy got him his drink, but the kid was like nervous to approach the bar, and he's in the band. Anyways, this paragraph stopped being addressed directly to you a while ago.
I think this year will present a lot of opportunities to gain new skills. My friend Dan is a glass-blower. How about that.

I got walked to my room because I drank too much. wasn't sure if that was clear.

I dance a whole fucking lot here, by the way.
It may be keeping me alive.

Is it strange that I'm much, much lonelier than I ever was in Philly?
Man, 18 yo's are cool, but they can party a lot harder than I can
last night I got walked to my bed.
I may still be drunk
who knows?
anyways, maybe Marj and Matt read this (hi, guys!)
can't think of anyone else
anyways, college is awesome. seriously.
this morning is just strange
why's everybody actin funny? why's everybody look so strange? why's everybody look so nasty? what do I want with all these things? I went alone down to the drugstore. I went out back and took a go. I stood in line and ate my twinkie. I stood in line. I had to wait.

there's only one peach with the hole in the middle
nobody gives the consumer enough credit. people always seem to assume that they are unwillingly subjecting themselves to the product. C'mon people.
I mean, seriously. if that were true, wouldn't culture be dictated by like 4 people? I know lots of people seem to think this is true anways. but those people are wrong.
pop culture is fun.
In other news, maybe celibacy?
Maybe spell check?

interesting fact of the day
Joanna Newsom is putting out an EP entitled "Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band".
Is she not the coolest person (besides Woody Allen, David Bowie, and Lou Reed...and maybe Isaac Brock) that has every existed?
Am I too obssessed with her?
I don't think there's such a thing.

...loser
Well, sledding has been the best part of the week. By a mile.
I lost my cellphone, so I have nobodys numbers anymore. Except a choice few I have memorized.
The new Modest Mouse is a lot better than I thought it would be, but the jury's still out on just how good it is overall. Loss glossy than I expected, and Isaac goes a little crazy with his voice.
