I have a bunch going on at once lol
Guilty. the entire mini-album. on repeat. non-stop.
I’m a huge Green Day but I’m not feeling it. Still looking forward to the new album, though.
i watch too many video essays and im a music junkie so i go down music rabbit holes. different strokes for different folks i guess
Most valuable item: I think that has to be the very first CD I owned which is Insomniac by Green Day.
Best acting skills: I have no idea! All the times I’ve seen an idol act are just in MVs and they’re usually all pretty not good, hah.
Concerts: I attended a Coheed and Cambria concert! It was so good. I want to see them again.
Listening to: Because of the concert I’ve been listrning to a lot of Coheed and Cambria and the opening act, Deafheaven. I’ve also been obsessed with the song “Treason” by Tinashe. I can’t get enough of it.
I needed a break from Paradise Lost so I started reading Zadie Smith’s White Teeth. I’m really enjoying her characters so far. There’s something larger than life about them.
Mine is Taemin. To me, his artistry is on a whole other level. He has such control over his body and can convey so much with so little. I can’t speak for his passion levels these days but he is so dedicated to his craft, it’s inspiring. His discography is amazing. I am a sucker for his darker, avante garde musical aesthetic. I respect him so much as a musician and a dancer.
It also helps that he is super relatable, hilariously awkward at times, funny, and very beautiful. I think a part of it too is that I also can’t help but feel for the guy. Idk why this is a factor but being in the industry for so long and at such a young age, is just kinda heartbreaking? He has stuck with this for half his life and has gone through so much, I can’t help but root for him. I’ll support him through whatever he does (as long as it’s not morally objectional). I just have an overwhelming desire for him (and the rest of SHINee) to be happy in life.
wherever he is, I just need him to make a come back
Lately I have been listening to Tinashe and Juan Karlos’s latest albums. I haven’t been listening to a lot of k-pop lately :<
I have Brothers Karamazov queued up for next year! I haven’t read Dostoevsky since high school. I had to read Crime and Punishment for English class and while I enjoyed it, I read it shallowly. I’m hoping to take my time once I get to Brothers Karamazov.
I started reading Paradise Lost last week. I’m about 100 pages in and it’s an easier read than I thought it would but I still feel a bit overwhelmed reading it. I’m reading a Norton Critical version so I’m very thankful for the generous footnotes.
Guilty. Followed by The Rizzness, despite it’s name. The rest of the songs I’m not overly fond of but they are nice to listen to!
