I've been awake for 38 hours with the exception of two small naps.

I finished my project and did well compared with the rest of the class. Out of fifteen students, six of us pulled an all nighter to finish the project and three students didn't finish. Part of me feels like that might explain that there wasn't enough time given to complete the project.

Whatever, I'm not salty.

Despite the complete lack of sleep, I had a pretty wonderful day. Everything went well and I was successful in a few ways.

I'm unwinding to Bad Books which is my favorite band of the week. Anything Andy Hull creates is amazing.

What a terribly sweet gesture to make my long day better. I want to be such a good person to you, because you deserve it.

In October, the Format re-released their albums on vinyl and I was lucky enough to snag two of my favorites up before they sold out. They finally arrived today and I can't even begin to contain myself.

One of my absolute favorite bands and two of my absolute favorite albums.

Sitting on the floor listening to these for the first time is probably going to be one of my favorite memories for a very long time.

So perfect.

Two 10" LPs combined into one album. Capitol reissued much of their early catalog in this manner, using the cover art from both previous records. The American in Paris cover must have been somewhat scandalous at the time.
