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,

Tomas and Francine

hey!

hey guys,

so i'm at the library right now taking yet another break from writing my paper. it's coming along.

as many of you might know, weezer is coming out with their newest album june 17. this will be their sixth album and their third self-titled album. now, weezer is one favorite bands. i love them more than words can fairly express. the music video for "keep fishin' " is fantastic (as is any collaboration with the muppets). however, make believe was somewhat shitty. it breaks my heart to give such an appraisal, but it really was not up to par with their previous work. i'm wishing with all my heart that this upcoming album will be as great. 

"the album is meaty, crunchy and melodic like a good weezer album should be," wrote river on the band's page. oh river, my hopes are held high.

also, people, i'm going to lollapalooza in august and could not be more excited. this year's lineup definitely rivals that of bonnaroo (and let me tell you, both lineups were quite the poop last year). many bands are playing at both festivals, so i'm not too sad i won't be attending bonnaroo this year. i am jealous, however, that manchester will get to see rilo kiley, tegan&sara, zach galifianakis  and david cross and that chicago won't.

i should just learn to deal, yes? yeah.

with sincere hope that you all are doing well,

uncle wiggily

back in da houzzee

Hola sirs and madames,
I have returned from the murky depths that I usually call home ( aka I've been buried in work on neurons hence, I had no pop culture things to talk about). The photo above makes me happier than words can describe. For today, let's take a look into rantings I created in the past..... way back to 2006...

Hello , Its me again

Well,
Hello people of the world wide web. Its me.
How have you been? I've been thinking too much and becoming highly philosophical. Its a vicious cycle I get wrapped up in of constantly thinking everything is something else. Enough external psycho babble for now. Now to talk of something less inportant.
Spin Magazine- I once enjoyed reading you. Now that you've been sold and gutted, you have become a worthless piece of crap and a horrible waste of paper. I liked reading about music and enjoying the comedic banter that filled your pages. Now, I have 5 page spreads on Beyonce that quite frankly suck ass. I miss Chuck Klosterman too. Honestly, his articles were one of the best things about you. Sia Michel was an excellent editor too. Now i have to deal with Andy-crapface-probably-drops-lines-about-him-being-an-editor-to-pick-up-underage-hookers Pemberton, excellent. I also hate that all the covers are the same now. Anyway, I liked when you had articles that came from your writers and were personal, now I feel like your attempting to force feed me crap about myspace and " hot" party scenes. Bottomline- Rehire Sia and get Chuck back on or your going to become Teen People's slightly older sister that still wears braces and tries to make friends by talking about how you were so " totally hammered on wine coolers".

I guess thats all the complaining I have to deliver for now.

bye

I was a pretty witty individual... if I don't mind tooting my own horn...
There was also rantings on if I had a country album I would title it " Kenny Rodgers is dead and now someone must reign over his country legacy". I don't know what I was thinking that would be a horrible name, seriously I could do mo betta. Well, in other news, I'm doing this huge project on the BU Bio Lab ( or as I like to call it the ebola housing facility). Considering I harbor numerous irrational fears, getting ebola probably tops my list. I am terrified one day I will wake up one day without warning and have ebola. In other news, I am seeing Hot Chip next Monday so hopefully there will be enjoyable pictures to follow.

and Yay!! My friend bought me this Buddy Holly CD so me and his zombie rock out daily.

I'm thinking about adding random reviews to my section.. perhaps this will soon follow.

over and out rescue rangers,
pippi

let's you and me catch up

hello puppies!

it's a late night post, but i'll try to stray away from the nonsensical.

so all three of us (eloise, pippi and i, that is) will be busy with a pretty important group project until the end of april. at the moment, i'm pushing off some research i have to conduct. i have till 8pm tomorrow to meet my group, so it'll be done by then for sure. i promise all of you.

i am in desperate need of a dance party. like, just some good ol' fling-your-arms-in-the-air-kick-your-legs-shake-your-head-to-some-rockin'-music relief. when i'm in my hometown (you know, when i'm not at university), my friends and i will rock out for hours, and i mean hours. it's fun. you'd enjoy it too, i bet. (and for those of you who are a bit more inhibited, crack open a bottle of vodka. you'll loosen right up).

i need a bundle/vase of daffodils or sunflowers on my desk or something. they just remind me of bright, bright sunshine. perhaps i will go buy some. now, for all your traditionalists out there with what i must call retrograde thinking, a girl can totally buy her own flowers. for every woman out there who does so, good for you! (i'm feeling very empowered right now. i get this way after midnight, oftentimes).

well, i must go do some of that research i mentioned earlier, mustn't i? take care and if you're going to ride a motorcycle, please wear a helmet. it looks totally cool AND smart - two very attractive qualities,

becoming close friends with jstor and the four books on my desk,

I CAN WALK

i'll post something with more substance later.. this is just ridiculous

life is rough

today, i had two video projects due for two different classes, and i realised how high my voice is. it honestly sounds like....gross. i know, i know. nobody likes what his/her voice sounds like, and maybe i'm just overreacting, and maybe the cameras were just weird, but still.

i've been thinking of many ways to handle this little situation of mine.

on another note, tomorrow is going to be job/internship application day. i really have to find a summer internship and find a job for the spring since the gallery i worked at is close until summer and i no longer need to tutor. wish me luck! sunday i will have to study since all next week is midterms.

it's a beautiful spring afternoon. i think i will enjoy the bright light shining through my window as i do things at my desk.

ready to do some hard work this weekend (hopefully!),

uncle wiggily

WHOA!

my dear friend just told me that radiohead and nine inch nails are to headline lolla this year. although i don't really know nin, i am VERY excited to see radiohead. like, i've seen them only once a couple summers ago and died. one of the two best shows i've seen ever (the other being broken social scene-amazing, i was lifted).

on another quite saddening note, i'm having THE hardest time finding the focus to work on my paper. after this post, though, productive will be my middle name.

lastly, i miss eloise and pippi. eloise is becoming one with nature in her foresty hometown and pippi is off traveling the the mysterious roads of a northern nation. hope you two are having a lovely time.

ready to conduct some active reading on the persian gulf war,

a mere two days

it is nearly spring break, and i think everyone here is getting ants in his/her pants. i myself am very antsy.

it's not as if i have any super exciting plans for break. all my friends (i'm actually not exaggerating when i say this) have break week the after i do, but i'll most likely make my friends who go to school nearby neglect their scholarly duties to play with me. whilst i'm at home, however, i plan to spend a good portion of my time catching up on some reading and working on my essay for school. also some internship applications. (are you jealous? you should be.)

but just to get out of this particular city i don't very much like at the moment is happiness. i miss my mama's cooking and i miss my room! i have a very comfortable bed with pink sheets and a pink blanket. but please, don't get the wrong idea. i am not a very pink person. i'm not even a little pink person. if you'd like to know, my wallpaper is white with a diagonal pattern of tiny pink and purple flowers. when i describe it, it sounds awful, but it's very lovely to look at.

i hope you all are keeping warm. it's been rainy and very ugly outside. 

make sure to eat a lot of leafy greens and some bananas.

concerned for your nutrition,

uncle wiggily

p.s. it's very late and my brain is tired. please excuse any mistakes i might've made while writing. i'm pouring my soul out here, you know?
