Weezer ft. Sara Bareilles - I Want You To (Acoustic)

1 pumpkin(-carving, officially, but i missed the carving part) kickback at tiffany’s. finally got a refill on asian girl-squad squealing with the elusive so-l and paperorchids, and saw tej up close!

2 sleepaway camp with rachel & co. movie was hilariously bad until the end, which was terrifying and very, very effective. scenes from shark attack three: megalodon. ordered italian express. first two eps of the oc.

3 walked the wrong way down ophir. ;;; i’m blaming it on darkness and sleep deprivation.

Hark, a Vagrant: Teens Again

i can’t believe that you’re knocking, knocking on my door
it’s been so long, been so long
—-
the sound of my heart stopping is surprising some
it’s been so long, been so long, oh
time has a way of knowing what we have in store
oh, it’s been so long, been so long, oh
vetiver | been so long

met with my research adviser today, bringing only the opaquest of ideas about the topic i wanted to read on. i told him i want to study current community development in seoul, and how the population’s economic makeup changed because of la’s koreans returning to seoul as americanized, successful businesspeople. somehow the discussion slid from rok’s land allocation back toward la, toward soshy, anthro-ish topics. like the korean american megachurch phenomenon and its impact on local business/the education and growth of ktown youth; how to explain the readiness with which ktown embraces planning; hip hop culture & breakdancing, why the kids hold on to it still and the adults abhor it; the singular “transnationality” of la’s korean population, what its influential relationship with korea says about nations and their people in the diaspora.

labyrinth of returns! try as i might to get away from la, i think i’ll be drawn back to who i am and what i’ve seen here until my face is lined. hopefully, belief or understanding will find me in time, and then i’ll be ready for some other place.
