Bootlegs 2 : Champagne Coast
Today is my birthday - 23rd December.
I am now 24.
I started "off" my (birth) day by heading to the Lincoln Center, to try and grasp some kind of inspiration or something, I guess...
I decided that I really wanted to go to the gift shop, and maybe purchase some music or performance, or notepad with Bernstein's face on it (perhaps?) as a present t'wards myself.
I saw that there was a Blu Ray section of performances that have been put on by the Metropolitan Opera. Now, did I mention that there's a Blu Ray player in my apartment? Chris and I managed to get it for cheap when we moved in, we have Young Frankenstein and Wall E. (Blu Ray disks are too expensive.)
I decided to see what Mozart disks they had, I picked up a copy of "Die Entführung aus dem Serail".
Amazing.. it's only..
Oh.
$44.
Blu Ray disks are too expensive.
I then realised that I would be much better off just purchasing the normal DVD.
$40.
I purchased no DVD's.
Instead, I went to Porchetta, a great delight, but something i'm hugely paying the price for as I sit in my living room right now clutching my stomach... Empire Strikes Back.
Roughly one week ago -- I was going through various things that needed to be done, starting from as soon as I woke up. When I decided, enough already.. I started working on a new song. I ended up so completely engulfed and wrapped up in it, so much so. That when I had finished working on it, it was 9:45 pm, and I hadn't left my bedroom once. Not even to use the toilet.
A side note : i've spent the last 2 weeks destroying my body. Truly, everything, you name it, four packs of skittles a day? Sure.. half glasses a-plenty... disgusting myself. Binge Winge.
I have a cute/torrid little pop belly thanks to my exploits, anyhow.
9:45. I decided i'd order a pizza.. (yes, i know...) The phone was engaged, I must have called roughly 10 times.. when, damn. I had to leave my room. Luckily, the place I was calling is literally two blocks away.
I arrive back in my bedroom, having drank a large coke and a Dr Pepper whilst waiting for my pizza to be ready( seriously.. i've just been craving sugar, I need it to keep awake. I don't even have a sweet tooth, i'm planning on fixing myself right now.).. I then sat in my chair, and ate the pizza, without stopping..
I woke up 4 hours later, with literally the last bite of pizza half way down my throat. I felt like such shit, i don't think anything had (readers) digested..
Merry Christmas.
Goodbye Birthday.
Here is the song.

Dev's Movie Blog
One night, my room mate mentioned how it'd be pretty funny for someone to watch all the movies listed at the bottom of IMDB. I've started to, and it's not funny.
