i looked at pitchfork's list of the top 50 albums of 2017 and felt underwhelmed. i usually never agree with the top 10 picks but as i scrolled down through them i couldn't stomach how predictable they were. maybe this year wasn't that great for music. maybe i'm getting old and nothing quite interests me much anymore. it has been more difficult for me to listen to new albums instead of playing the same ones i already listen to. maybe my passion for music is fading. i don't think it's that, but it is at least waning in comparison to 2015. i think about how good 2014 was for me in terms of discovering music that i liked. here's to hoping 2018 will be better

took a percocet and hit play on the new beach fossils album from earlier this year. i like the sounds. it's very soft and melodic. a bit dreamy. it's nice

thought, "i don't need a new phone, this one is fine" and then later it got stuck thinking it has headphones plugged in so now i can't listen to anything out loud. is "thinking" the right word? anyway i hope it doesn't affect the alarm because i have things to get up for
