joy of the day: man, lots of little joys, but for some crappy reason, today was kinda cruddy.
joy #1: ryan adams – gold.
no, this is not BRYAN adams, although that guy’s pretty cool too. spiffy former lead singer of Whiskeytown out with his second solo album. it’s good shiet.
joy #2: running into eddie from em|db. (daily bruin electronic media.)
ran into each other on the lot 32 shuttle. what a spiffy guy! he’s an assistant editor for viewpoint now; he’s moved on from his EM days. but lucky for us, a lot of the awesome folks in his amazingly talented fall ’99 intern class are still around. avishai shraga created uclaprofessors and is now in charge of bruinwalk, mike ouyang is the EM director, etcetc. -sniffle!- it makes me so proud!
joy #3: sitting down and having lunch with thomas, just like the good old days in the summer of ’99.
very rare, very awesome to get a chance to talk to thomas and listen to his thoughts and ideas about the way the world works pour out in such an intriguing manner. man, I missed talking to him like this! it was good to talk to him about ideas and events and people, but not have to plow through a ton of drama. fah-sheeezie!
ok, so there were a lot of other highlights too, but these were the three that I can think of off the top of my head. I saw a lot of people I knew from back in the day today.. kinda neat. I have roots here!
bummer of the day: it’s crispy’s birthday today, and I barely saw him. no darned good.
