Listening to: Slowdive – Machine Gun. (it’s on repeat) Serendipity as it was playing when I went in AKA music, my favorite record store here in Philadelphia. Picked it up immediately.

Watching: Michel GondryThe Science of Sleep. (dazed and confused) Besides, any movie that has its lead character speak three different languages is a priori worth liking. One of those rare body/mind out-of-syncs.

All three: geniuses. The combination of the three: midnight in a perfect world.
