Obsessions

The Semester is over, except for a a few projects that I need to finish up and my on-going experimentations for senior thesis. I've been really frustrated lately because I have been trapped in my head. I think I have good ideas but I feel stupid because I don't know how to explain how I feel about anything, I am just unable to formulate the words. I need to stop worrying about it because it makes it worse, but I just hate feeling so dumb.
I worked again at target today, it wasn't terrible. I just keep reminding myself how great it will be when I finally get a paycheck.
I'm sad that the semester is done, I like school and I always dread winter break. I always end up feeling like the only purpose I have during that month is to work, however this time I plan on spending a lot of time in the lab on my own work and making it a very productive break. Plus I have big plans to get back in shape, so lets see how that pans out...
So recently I have been obsessed with these things...
The Killers new cd "Day and Age"...I have just been listening to it over and over on repeat, I don't know what it is about them but they are fantastic I can't wait to see them in Boston in January. Also great album artwork on this new cd.
Ratatat...instrumental music is my first music love so obviously I'm addicted, plus its got that electronica feel which I'm into.
Interpol...the lead singers voice is so captivating, I can't stop listening. Plus they have a sick website, I'm really into their background photos which look like they were taken in a museum of natural history.
Owls, I still have all those cut outs from my field guide from earlier this semester I need to do something with them.
Coffee, I never used to be able to drink it and now I'm addicted. Its not about the caffeine, cause I know I can go a day without it, its just something about the experience of getting coffee, its a soothing event.
Snow, I'm so glad it finally got cold out, I love getting bundled up and seeing the ground all white. Which leads me to my recent obsession with wool sweaters, flannel shirts, tall socks and boots. I love everything about winter and winter clothes, and my mom's old school wool sweaters are my favorite things to wear right now, I just need to find a decent pair of boots because I walk like Ebenezer Scrooge in the ones I have recently been sporting.
I'm also infatuated with Sally Mann's work again.
4 x 5 Film, aesthetically I find it to be the most pleasing way for me to take photographs at the moment, though Holga is still up there as well. I need to shoot a lot more, I think I have some good ideas brewing around right now.
I think thats all I've got for now. Closing at target again tomorrow, visits would be awesome.
