description:
Today, all of a sudden, I got nostalgic for a couple Summers ago. It was just one of those Summers that lasted forever, mostly due to the fact that it was painfully boring. It was the Summer after my first year at college, and I was living with my dad in a po-dunk suburb in south Jacksonville. I had a shitty retail job selling clothes to mostly middle-aged women that didn't pay me near enough money.
Why am I nostalgic for this time, you may ask? Well, I had absolutely no responsibility - my dad is just as laid back as me, and when I wasn't shilling blouses I was eating hot dogs watching baseball on the couch all day with the pops. I had [a little] extra spending money that I mostly blew on CD's of stuff that I had only recently discovered, and these CD's provided the background music for my frequent joyrides speeding around back country roads with the windows down and the stereo blaring. This is a mixtape of my Summer of 2005.

i love this. not because i like all the songs (some i can't stand), but for other reasons i can't quite put my finger on. i listened to a lot of this stuff (new pornographers, walkmen, clem snide, the shins, etc) on a summer similar to yours a few years ago, and this mix brings back some good/complacent memories. +5

Happy Halloween 2007! In celebration of this event, here is a recipe to make your very own candy corn:
Combine 1 cup of razor blades, 2 cups of clown tears and 3/4 tablespoon spider eggs in a pan and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and add 2 cups hemlock and 3 ounces of fish oil. Stir until cool enough to handle. Shape and distribute.
Trick or treat!
