march 12th 2008 wednesday 5:25 pm today started out pretty good. i made my second favorite breakfast dish- tocino, sinangag, itlog- sweet pork / fried rice / egg. i lounged around for a bit, played ut2k4 with french people, and did another music essay for my online course. when it became sunny, around 12PM, i sat outside on the carpet (to ward off weeds from wriggling their way up to the surface) in my small, dead garden. there is a little tree still alive, but it is pretty much dead in there. the garden is located in the left-hand corner of my backyard and is shaped like an isosceles right triangle. i drew a map of what i want in it by summertime: more stones, perhaps garden "accessories" like a little gnome!, colorful flowers of course, and a vegetable garden in one of the flowerbeds. i have grown sitaw on my super-homemade looking trellis before. i want this summer to be productive. semi-upbeat playlist for the day- twee, indie pop, synths, afro-pop, handclaps, and a few indescribable descriptions: animal collective "fireworks" black kids "hit the heartbreaks" architecture in helsinki "heart it races" joe lean & the jing jang jong "lonley buoy" voxtrot "mothers sisters daughters & wives" vampire weekend "cape cod kwassa kwassa"
