Coachella, A Bleeding Chin and Lots of Homework

I’ve been quite the busy bee. Spring quarter is turning out to be as good as I was hoping for. It’s been awhile since I’ve updated this thing (yet again), but lots of crazy stuff has been happening in my life as of late.

For starters, I injured myself badly in a skating rink accident while broomballing with my friends. Here’s a closeup of the aftermath (click on the image for the full effect!):

I got it glued back together and now I’m as good as new.

There has been a lot of schoolwork in between that mess and then some giant music festival called Coachella made my brain explode to pieces (a good thing!). I got in for free for all three days simply because of a connection I made through my friend’s employer, who happened to own a company on the side selling beverages at concerts and such. And so I was hired on the spot and I tagged along for the weekend earning tip money and watching a bunch of Indie rock shows. I ended up seeing Santogold, Scroobius Pip vs Dan Le Sac, The Bird & the Bee, The Teenagers, M.I.A., The Shout Out Louds, The Cool Kids, Chromeo and Justice. I was never disappointed…

not even for a second.

That weekend of insanity followed by a barrage of essays and midterms brought me back to earth. So here I am now, trying to revive what’s been missing from this blog for over a month: something new to look at.
