Aside

Lately, I've been listening to 'Aside' by the Weakerthans. I've never heard of this band before but it was on the 'Cartographer's Craft' soundtrack as the main theme song. The song itself is quite good, good guitar, good singer, really really intriguing and different lyrics. I want to hear more!

Measure me in metered lines
And one decisive stare
The time it takes to get from here to there
My ribs that show through t-shirts
And these shoes I got for free
I'm unconsoled
I'm lonely
I am so much better than I used to be

Terrified of telephones
And shopping malls and knives
Drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily
On alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on by courtesy
In love with love and lousy poetry

And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it almost feels okay

Circumnavigate this body
Of wonder and uncertainty
Armed with every precious failure
And amature cartography
I'm breathing deep before
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor

And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it feels okay
And I'm leaving with goodbye
And I'm losing but I'll try
With the last ways left
To remember sing
My imperfect offering

Boston on my mind

Rachel, Mandy, Caitlin says that May 4th- 10th is the best time for her. It sounds good to me so what do you guys think? Mandy, you said something about only going for the weekend, right? I can go and stay for longer since I'll be on my break. I definitely want to hit up the Sargeant murals and hopefully, take in a Broadway show? Can we can we can we??
