I have 280 dollars to my name and I don’t think I’ll have enough gas money to make it home from Virginia, but I need my tattoo now.

Lost in the Trees, Tall Trees
I’ll get to see these guys again on April 2nd in Lynchburg, VA. Last year I helped to organize a concert featuring Lost in the Trees, Hot Lava, and Wild Nothing. Lost in the Trees has a grand orchestral sound perfect for the outdoor stage they performed on, the wisteria drenched woods behind them, the warm grass the audience sat in, and the setting sun. It helped that I was surrounded by my friends, people that I saw everyday and care so much about, people that I was about to move away from in a month. I wasn’t the only one teary-eyed.

“The house kept its own time, like the old-fashioned grandfather clock in the living room. People who happened by raised the weights, and as long as the weights were wound, the clock continued ticking away. But with people gone and the weights unattended, whole chunks of time were left to collect in deposits of faded life on the floor.”

Today I finally finished reading this book while curled up in the backseat of the car, in a cemetery, as rain dripped down the windows. I did not plan this, but it was perfect.
My Reading List.
I’m working my way through this thing, adding more each week. It’s pretty embarrassing that I haven’t read some of these books.
