probably the best 2 minutes of my life thus far. thanks dj dan suh for alerting me to this.

i'm going to cardozo school of law in the fall. google it. its good.

well... here it is, middle of may and in a month and a half i will say bye bye to nyc for the first time in years. i'm pretty scared about leaving new york. i will be back though and LA will be a good experience. law school will not be fun. i hope i don't drop out. just kidding dad! like my dad would read this.

i got the new death cab for cutie today, it's ok, i guess it took me a little while to become totally sold on plans so i'll give it a few more weeks before i actually form an opinion.

pinkberry opened up 2 weeks from my office and the rest of my salary will be spent on green tea frozen yogurt, yikes!

i am working on the new frontiers vinyl... i'm really excited about this band.

my color fred and 1969 vinyls will be out in a few weeks - check out how cool the art is!

a few other things before the end of the summer, stay tuned. i'm excited, warm weather rules, i hope good things keep happening. smile :)

i saw the weakerthans on friday, seriously it was UH-MAZ-ING. if you ever get the chance to this band, DO IT.

in other news, i gave up my 15+ yrs of being a vegetarian and started with chicken and fish. we'll see how long this lasts or how far i go with this.

i am going to LA with my dad in a week and a half and i caaan't wait.

one of my favorite things: when indie rock bands write songs named after professional sports players.

hola - this post is dedicated to my friend & mysteriously loyal reader alvin kangaroo.

me: alvin can you make sushi?
alvin: jesse can you make gingerbread houses?

we joke.

so this is the new year. new yrs resolutions are still being thought about. by this time next year i hope to have released more records than i did last year (easier said than done and a resolution i put in place almost every year - however i accomplished it in 07!). i think i'l be able to make it happen...
i hope to be in law school as well - on my way to a life of pushing paper around in circles and 1/2 a year closer to being done with school for good.

the rest is the same. i love brooklyn, nothing could make me happier than just walking around my neighborhood on a 65 degree day in january (WTF!?)

and until next time i leave you with this quote from my adorable mother:

mom: etc etc etc. jk
me: i didn't know you knew what jk meant!
mom: i'm learning, lol

PS. about juliette & the licks, i just wanna say how fucking excited i am that dave grohl FUCKING PLAYED DRUMS ON THIS RECORD. obviously putting out a record that he's on is a dream come true of mine. just sayin.
