Now my friends are doing MST3K style commentary...
adultstudyhall:
Except it’s all shot through the lens of queer theory.
“Fieldwork? That’s not in my lexicon.”
– One of our political theorist friends came to Adult Study Hall this week. (via adultstudyhall)
So my friends and I started a new blog
adultstudyhall:
“Two more liquor drinks, and we turn into historians.”

Said at the inaugural study hall, and the reason this Tumblr needed to exist in the first place.
Let’s see where this goes.

One of my roommates has a prospective student...
I’ve decided to keep the “Ayn Rand: A Closer Look at the Legend” poster on the front door of my room, which is the first thing anyone walking into our apartment will see, mostly just to see if anyone will say anything.

Proud owner of five boxes of Thin Mints.
With the permission of the woman at checkout, I ran out of the grocery store line I was in when I saw the people selling Girl Scout Cookies at the front of the store packing up their wares, and made it back just in time to pay.

Slow Club did a song last night that I hadn't...
It had the words “2” and “luv” in it, which I remember because Rebecca joked that they were trying to be cool by using text speak. In any event, it was really different from their usual indie pop stuff. It was actually kind of some straight-up “Dark End of the Street”-style soul, and I really need to hear it again.
Anyone have any ideas what it was?

My friend has instituted adult study hall.
This involves going over schoolwork, drinking a beer, and watching the first few episodes of Friday Night Lights.
My friend is a wise man.

My brother's location on his Twitter account is...
Me: I didn't realize you were going to Houston tomorrow until today
I thought it was all going to be part of one trip, which is why I was surprised you were leaving tomorrow
My brother: Understandable
I'm a boss
I make serious moves
Not many people can keep up
Me: That's true
I posted your Birdman retweet today
And then I saw you had put "where the cash at" as part of your profile
And I wanted to post that, too
My brother: Yeah man
Me: But decided to save it for later
My brother: That's my location
Because I can't put like, "Winston-Salem"
Because I'm never here
Me: Ha ha ha ha
Oh my God
I didn't realize it was your location
Now I'm definitely posting this conversation
My brother: ::kanyeshrug::

Guess who I get to see in Austin
Me: Portland is wearing jerseys that just say Rip City. They're kind of awesome.
My brother: #swag. You get my email about Austin?!
Me: I did. About to go to a show. We'll talk tomorrow.
My brother: Swag swag swag swag swag
Also: I've missed you so much, Feed
Chicken, macaroni and cheese, and fried green tomatoes. Banana pudding to go. Now: Veronica Falls at the Empty Bottle. Life is pretty alright.

So that Jeff Mangum concert
I finally have some time to put down something in writing about this, and it’s probably for the best that it’s almost a week later, because if I had written it immediately afterwards it would have been even less coherent than this is going to be.
So.
I went up the show by myself on the CTA. I had planned to go with friends, but no one else I know had been able to get tickets, so I...

This summer my brother and I were at a pizza place...
And “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” came on. And it was really bizarre because we were still really jetlagged and were at a pizza place outside a train station in fucking Milan, and all of the sudden Whitney Houston was blaring over all the conversations that we only partially understood. So we just looked at each other in silence for a second.
“This song rules,” I said.
