( OMG giantest picture ever. me and a'dal? we're like <i>this</i> )


ok, and so besides all that. i want to show you this song. just click play on this video, go into another tab and read dlisted or whatever the else you read. trust me its worth it. like, why aren't we all listening to chilean rap? i don't know. i love that anita tijoux's makeup is horrible and she is wearing one of the most unflattering outfits ever imagined.




i also want you to watch all of these clips in their entirety, but that might be just too much to ask. i love isabella rosselini. why am i not related to her? or in her social circle? but watching these repeatedly is sort of an okay substitute. the snail one is my favorite.

live, the editors sound like this..






they opened with the song i had been listening to on repeat for the last few weeks (bones), and closed with the song that made me fall in love with them in the first place (fingers in the factories). i complain about the universe consistently plotting against me, but it feels like this show was specifically planned for me. and maybe this is a bit ridiculous, but i'd take a life full of stupid dumb fuckups in exchange for seeing the editors the week of my birthday.

so on the bus ride to singapore today i was very sad and sentimental but also happy. i was thinking about how the planet on the whole is shit but on a personal level the world is still fantastic and amazing and you can do anything and see anything and tell your grandparents you love them and have adventures with siblings and friends and tell each other stories and play with animals and also watch them in herds alone and how they interact with each other and how WE interact with each other and how funny and bizarre life is but also satisfying. i view and interpret life through a detached qualuude-like haze and its funny. i thought of every person i have ever loved and cared for in my life and it was an explosion of love that went on in my frontal lobe. my heart flowed over while i was idly watching southeast asian jungles through my window seat. i cried a lot.
