I'll Try Anything Once

I found this song in a trailer for Sofia Coppola's movie Somewhere. It feels really Gen Y of me, but I've been on this Sofia Coppola/Kirsten Dunst kick. I think it began once I found the entirety of Marie Antoinette on YouTube. That was a great afternoon at work.

I'll indulge in more Kirsten Dunst when I watch Melancholia tomorrow. It's such a beautiful movie that it makes its resulting heartcrushing depression sort of worth it. Maybe I'll follow it with a viewing of Bring It On, because why the hell not.

I don't usually listen to The Strokes - other than this song which, lo and behold, I also found via Sofia Coppola. I like "I'll Try Anything Once" (this is the demo version) because it reminds me of when I used to sneak out my window to the roof. I thought I was being so dangerous then, just because I could sit on some roofing tiles staring at suburban houses and the tops of pewter-coloured cars. I was 17, and I hadn't even learned how to smoke a cigarette. Obviously I was 2cool4u.

It stopped when my dad caught me on the roof. He told me it sent people a "bad message." I think it was just because he didn't want to find me with my back broken on the driveway. I guess he was being reasonable...

I'm excited. I'm going to Kingston this weekend to see friends and drink beer on a patio. While the three hour drive is, at times, daunting, I'm glad to see my own bedroom again. I had forgotten what it looks like until I randomly found a picture of it in my phone. I don't know what I'm going to do when I graduate and leave school forever.

Anyways, here's a list of other things I'm excited about. Sorry for the haphazard thought process that is this blog post.

1. HBO's The Newsroom premieres on June 24.
2. Finishing Game of Thrones the book by early next week. Finally.
3. Purity Ring performing on the Danforth in a few weeks.
4. Tycho in Toronto soon after.
5. Downloading and watching the season finale of Girls. I am an awful procrastinator.

Until next time!
