last week's primary election prevented some list progress, so i'm regrettably pretty light on the updates for now. but first, quickly, our book club finally finished GEB (#7)! it was a long but eye-opening journey to be sure, and i like to think we've all become better friends for it too. i counted this as one of my friends' favorite books because it was a long-time goal of kyle's to read it. success!
a group of us also went to the experience music project's exhibitchin' concert celebrating 60s soul and the museum's new supremes exhibit (#35). we dressed up and danced the night away (in go-go boots!) and wow, the skychurch was an awesome venue. i hope to make it back sometime.
i only had my phone to take pictures chronicling the evening, and we were in a pretty blurry state, so this is the best i got...

movies were also seen (#33)! thanks to kyle and jake's awesome viewing room (complete with old-school projector and blackout curtains) i finally saw episodes four, five and six of star wars, the first two of which were oscar winners. done and done!
and another books update... included in #6 is catch 22. i have tried to read this book probably five or six times. i am giving up. after finishing ender's game a couple months ago i replaced its spot on my bedside table with catch 22 and have only made it twelve pages in. and come to think of it, i'm pretty sure the only reason i picked it up in the first place was when i started listening to the band catch 22 back in high school. i bought a sweatshirt of theirs that featured a quote from the novel on the back: "there was no telling what people might find out once they felt free to ask whatever questions they wanted to." it sounded interesting, and i thought it was my obligation to read the book if i'm gonna walk around wearing this sweatshirt all the time. but, i just can't do it. life's too short to try to unnecessarily trudge through something i find unenjoyable. so i'm replacing this listbook with the most ridiculous thing i can think of: russell brand's my booky wook (a memoir of sex, drugs and stand-up). this one's going much faster...
also... sigh. kyle and i attempted to cross off my drive-in movie goal, but failed most spectacularly as we realized, right when the first film of the double feature began, that i do not have a working AM radio. D'OH! we even got there super early, set ourselves up with pillows, blankets, and beer and subway for dinner, and everything...
see? super-coze! and yes i whited out my license plate with ms paint. internet is scary!
the screen we never got to watch :( it was really pretty depressing that we had to leave, but i saved the tickets and we'll do better next time.__________
