I seem to have fallen behind here, haven’t I. Kept waiting for myself to have written up movies, books, etc., before doing these. Ah well. <\/em><\/p>\n

The best movie <\/strong>I saw in September (of only two, so take that as you will) was Tropic Thunder<\/a><\/strong>, which will definitely make my Top 10 this year.<\/p>\n

The best book <\/strong>I read in September was the short story collection “Dead Boys” by Richard Lange<\/a><\/strong>. (But I did really like both the other books (one<\/a>, two<\/a>) I read in September as well.)<\/p>\n

The best gig <\/strong>I went to in September was (overall) Monolith<\/strong><\/a> and my favorite performance there was Band of Horses<\/strong><\/a>, a magical twilight moment.<\/p>\n

My favorite tunes <\/strong>in September<\/a> were (the only in some cases or the most recent) albums Schwayze<\/strong> (yeah, I know I’m the only one, but it’s FUN), The Billionaires<\/strong>, The Wave Pictures<\/strong> and Everlast<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Random personal highlights:<\/em> The aforementioned weekend at Monolith (including visiting Mariah, Stephan and Jack!).<\/p>\n

Lowlights? <\/em>Well. If you know about the secondary browsing location and events therein, then you know I had a very, very, very shitty September. Very Shitty. And honestly, the fallout is still going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
