academia once again

hello cupcakes,

hope you are all well. i miss you. yes. YOU. i have't been on coconut brain in a while, and i've missed you.

the weather is seasonably warm (in the seventies daily), but i want it to be chilly. so chilly i need to rub my arms even if i'm wearing two layers of clothing. so chilly i can see my breath. i'm sick of the sun. i hope you understand where i'm coming from.

oh, well, regarding the title of this particular entry--tomorrow is my first day of classes (at a completely new insitution, might i add)! i'm nervous but excited. finally, after being insufferably bored for weeks while my friends returned to their schools, i am on the verge of being reimmersed into college life. oh boy. i cannot waaaaiiiit.

but that doesn't mean i desperately want to be thirty, flirty, and thriving. because i do.

i really do.

savouring the last truly lazy night for a while,

Boy by Band of Outsiders

Boy by Band of Outsiders is phenomenal. I love the adaptation of mens ware for women. The shoes that Manolo Blahnik designed for the fall collection is a perfect mix of casually cool and feminine.

fall is fast approaching

bonjour mes bebes,

how ARE you? are you making sure to do very summery things? there isn't much time left.

soon, we'll have a few months of colorful leaves, crimson-colored scarves and sweater vests and knee socks, brisk air, apple picking and all apple products, and the crunch of dry leaves under your feet as you walk down the street. aren't you excited?

i'll be ringing in the new season by attending my first week of classes! i'm nervous. i'm going to a new school, you see. hopefully, it'll be good. but i fully intend to do all the other fall things that a girl should do in fall. like, drink apple cider and read a book on a park bench with orange leaves all around me.  i'll let you how it is.

well, there is not too much new with me. pippi and eloise have already started school, and i can say i am jealous! i'm all summered out. hope you two are enjoying classes and the city<3

impatient for the end of september,

uncle wiggily

it's summer!

pippi, i too saw mgmt! (they were pretty decent. i think the sound might've been off, but that's not totally their fault now, is it?)

it was at lolla. unfortunately, my friends wanted to leave halfway through so i didn't even get to hear kids. i could've just died. honestly.

anyway. my scalp along my part got SO sunburned. it was literally red, and now it's starting to peel. do you know what that looks like? do you? 

do you??

other than that, everything's going pretty well. i got a second job at place i worked at during high school. it's a personalized  stationary and custom gifts type of business and its run in the owner's home. she has red hair and is super nice.

this news is somewhat old, but aleksandr solzhenitsyn passed last sunday. a great literary force. and a great historical force, really.

frankly, i don't like to read the newspaper. it can be so upsetting. but it's important to be aware of what's going on. so what's a girl do to? i mean, reading the news is definitely better than living the news. must keep things in perspective, i suppose.

i'm very all-over-the-place, i know. but my brain is a little all-over-the-place.

in desperate need of a hat and some cheerful news (like achieving world peace),

MGMT - Paradise

Kids
Sadly no shots of the bra wearing











The show was pretty good ( band wise). The crowd on the other hand, was somewhat disagreeable.
I'm off to , hopefully, purchase Cut/Copy and Wombats tickets. I'll be amazed if it works out, wish me luck.
I'll post good shows coming up in the next few months in Boston ( and probably nyc), a little later.
MGMT and The Ting Tings are playing a free show in Brooklyn ( McCarren Pool) on Sunday. It would be a true miracle if some how i got there.


later gators,
pippi

Gewd

Santogold and Diplo just released a mixtape and I have to say I'm a fan.
They reworked The Clash's "Guns of Brixton" into the newfangled " Guns of Brooklyn", needless to say, I've been listening to it nonstop basically.


Listen for yourself,
"Guns of Brooklyn"


I'm going to see MGMT tonight, so maybe a picture post tomorrow?

over and out,

Whoa, Programming Council Does Stuff?

Programming Council (aka waste of time, space, money, and energy) at the fine institution known as Boston University, has actually done something useful. Girl Talk is playing on September 20th, huzzah! Hopefully it actually happens. I have high hopes since Programming Council announced it ( not like the Talib Kweli debacle). I just hope the fine Council can continue on its path to gloriousness ( let's not get 36 Mafia and Cobra Starship again, alright?).
As for other dreams I have for the Boston Area, what is with all this tour hate? In a new occurring and lethal trend, more and more bands have been skipping Boston on their tours. Current example: Cut Copy ( with the Presets). Its commonly becoming the trend to play nyc and philly then go directly to Europe. I know gas is expensive, but please I'm dying. Let's kill this trend okay?

I hope Animal Collective comes to Boston soon. I think Panda Bear harbors some hate though against his old institution. Then again, I think about dropping out of BU all the time , so he just got out lucky.


update--> yay! trend dying, tickets for cut copy with the presets are on sale Friday 7/25 for their show at Paradise.

- sincerely,
pippi

je suis crazy

hello lovelies,

so today has been pretty okay thus far. i worked from 830am-1230pm, which is hard when you go to bed at 330am the night before watching the mighty ducks 3 on tbs. i have work from 6am-10am on thursday. life is rough.

i applied as a transfer to a dreamy university and got my acceptance letter just today! it was exciting, but it bummed my dad out a little bit. but i like, totally get his bumming out. don't think poorly of him--he's just a complex man.

however, i just freaked out at my brother and although i think he deserved it, i feel bad. i'm honestly the only person i know who is SO moody and then completely deluged with guilt. it's a problem.

i have to go do the dishes, but please make sure to wear sunscreen when you go out. even if it's cloudly, the harmful rays come through and can cause premature aging. it's serious.

with great anticipation for a veggie burger for supper/dinner/evening meal,

uncle wiggily

summer break

HEY!

i've definitely gained weight. i'm also concerned that i might have high cholesterol and might be at risk for a heart attack or stroke! it's serious. 

it's been pretty cold. i'm nervous it might be an indian summer and that august will be HOT. august 1-3, i will be standing outside all day, so it's quite imperative that it's not dangerously hot.

there are many ominous things in my life right now. 

embracing my worrywart disposition,

uncle wiggily

p.s. miss you eloise and pippi. hope you two are have one lovely day after another.

hiatuss

sorry for the delays
i'm currently on hiatus
and taking chemistry
it blows
anyway
i'm working on remixing some songs and making more weird art and i'll probably put some of it up here
this is what currently fills my time
haha
over and out

summer is here!

hello all,

hope all is well. for the three of us, summer is either here or very, very near! it's quite an exciting time. plus, the weather has been lovely the past few days (after a bout of cold and wind).

however, i am feeling a little blue today. eloise, fellow blogger and my cohabitant, has left for home. i wish she were still here, but i myself will be leaving quite shortly. this makes the pain bearable. 

eloise has quite the summer ahead of her. a little travel and an awesome internship. it's going to be LEGEN-wait-for-it-DARY. (we love how i met your mother).

pippi is quite busy as well. i haven't seen her in a while, but i miss her always-brightly-colored-and-fun-and-totally-awesome outfits. they always pop. catch the eye. that sort of thing. oh! and she might come to my hometown (well, the city very nearby) and i will perhaps get to see her. whoop!

okay, well i'm sorry for being absent for so long. i probably should've made this apology toward the beginning of this post. sorry. i'm terribly inconsiderate, yes?

well, just so you all know, i've been eating too much lately. i have a lot to pack and i am not looking forward to it even the tiniest bit. i go home on saturday and could not be more excited. 

so yeah, i think that's it for now. sorry if i've made you fall asleep. i'm an old-timer, so only boring, old-timer thoughts come out of my head.

i'll leave you with pete doherty on his first day as a free man. he went into the woods with his manager. it's AWESOME. courtesy of his manager.

with a food baby or two or three,

Animal Cruelty

This post is dedicated to animals who hate their lives. As exemplified below......

If was were this assorted animals I would have killed myself already, so let's appreciate their courage.

In other findings, I am working on a project so I have no creative flow, but these animals , in their various costumes, give me the strength to carry on.

It's Record Store Day, go give business to one, NOWWW!!!

hey all,

so the school year is coming to an end, and i think all of us here at coconut brain are ready for our summer vacation. my summer plans are still quite up in the air, but i know i will be returning home for either all or part of my break. and also lolla! whooo!

i have a reading list for my summer break. i think it's time for me to become much more well-versed in literature, you know?

i'm watching family guy. it's like, so funny.

okay. i'm exhausted. i'm off to bed, probably. but let me just tell you, in a couple weeks, i'll going to tell you guys all about the oiling industry and the arctic! it'll couples weeks' worth of research, but i'll keep it short and too the point. it's pretty topical.

possibly with dark circles under her eyes,
