Today's all about the Indie Rock station from launch. My co-worker is sick so I can have the radio up louder, hence the station. What's been on there today?
Burning Airlines, Braid, Enon, New Pornographers, Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, Sonic Youth, Sleater-Kinney, Nothing Painted Blue, Kaito, And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Jawbox, Bangs, Unwound, Drive Like Jehu, Nation of Ulysses, Built to Spill, Secret Stars, Shellac, etc. An interesting amount of the early 90's Midwest "emocore" type stuff. Right now is a really interesting-sounding song by a band called Mecca Normal. Kind of surfy guitar, but choppy. The lead vocalist is female, gravelly, and very quick-bursts of lines. I like it.
I also highly recommend the Indie Pop station.

Liz arrives today. She's crashing at the townhouse for a little bit while she looks for a place and gets herself established.

Today's the last class of Modern Familiar Essay. This has been one of my favorite classes ever. I'm actually sad it was so short! I've learned a ton. Now it's on to History of Mass Communication next week. The good thing about that class is that it doesn't start until 6, which gives me time to go home and change into different clothes, maybe grab a bite to eat. The bad thing is that it doesn't get over until around 9pm, which will be rough with people visiting for the next couple weeks. Oh, well.

Time for a little whining. I absolutely hate when I'm told to wait around to help out a little with a luncheon thing going on here today that I didn't know about until, well, this morning. I'm told "Oh, they should be here at about 11:30, it won't mess with your lunch schedule too much." It's noon now and they still haven't shown up. I guess they're from Moldova (sp?). Wherever they're from, this is ridiculous. I think noon is a great time to leave.
