one day i'll be on time

i saw the album leaf in shibuya last night. i timed my arrival perfectly, which i'm really good at in the states but horrible at here. i don't think there's such thing as "fashionably late" in japan.

they played the same set i saw them play twice last year, which is fine, but i wasn't, you know, overwhelmed or anything. and this is probably like the only time you'll ever hear me say this, but there was too much live instrumentation and not enough cuts, clicks, glitches, etc., which is where i think they are at their best. they opened with the song from the hummer commercial.

there was a really cute girl making eyes at me but i was [of course] too shy to talk to her. i think i like it that way.

mogwai is tonight and tomorrow. i'm thinking about trying to sneak in. and by sneak in i mean buy a ticket at the door.

i don't know, though. i'm hemorrhaging cash in a serious kind of way. tom hicks style. my friend paul said "i feel like someone punctured my yen aorta."
