Telluride Association Summer Program ( TASP ) 2008

<p>Hmmm, what is there to chat about?</p>

<p>Families, school, music, life…</p>

<p>Music sounds good. What are you listening to now?</p>

<p>The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts by Sufjan Stevens. I only have a very few songs by him, but I’ve read some of his other lyrics and I am intrigued.</p>

<p>What are the Flaming Lips like?</p>

<p>Sufjan rocks. If you’re going to get an album, “illinois” is best in my opinion.
If you like him, you might like a female singer by the name of St. Vincent. She actually sings back up for him for most of his songs. Here’s a link(god, I love youtube) (:</p>

<p>[YouTube</a> - St. Vincent - These Days (DUMBO Session)](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vxQs84FMWQ]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vxQs84FMWQ)</p>

<p>Ooh, I like it. Her voice reminds me of Feist in her slower songs. I wonder if she’s Canadian? I like that she doesn’t look like a rock star. Have you heard any Feist except 1234?</p>

<p>Only “My Moon My Man” and a couple others in my friends car, but I don’t know their names.
What do the Flaming Lips sound like…?
Without a doubt, they have the weirdest lyrics ever, but I can’t help but love them(my brother listened to them when i was younger, and since I idolized him, I copied everything he did. Now, they just feel so familiar to me, that I can’t imagine not listening to them.) Here’s a sample…</p>

<p>[YouTube</a> - The Flaming Lips - Race For The Prize](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVzkRQH8z-Y]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVzkRQH8z-Y)</p>

<p>The video is really weird. (:</p>

<p>It’s fantastic. I love the slightly distorted sound and also his jacket.</p>

<p>[YouTube</a> - The Pierces - Secret](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-2k0qaWCgU]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-2k0qaWCgU) This one’s catchy. Creepy carnival sounding and so fun!</p>

<p>The accordion does sound creepy, but i like the scratchyness of her voice. (:</p>

<p>I’m actually watching this old show called “the adventures of pete and pete” right now on youtube. Ever heard of it?</p>

<p>I used to watch it occasionally. Their mom had an iron plate in her head from some surgery or something right? The only episode I can think of now had this kid write an apology letter to her and stick it on with a magnet and then all this metal stuff would come flying at her head.</p>

<p>Watching all those old shows can be so fun. I have a bunch of friends who love Boy Meets World. It’s a great show.</p>

<p>That sounds like something that would happen in the show. (:
You weren’t one for kid’s tv? No lost secrets of the hidden temple for you?</p>

<p>Only occasionally. I always thought it was rather violent. That and GUTS. Not too appealing. I’m a delicate little thing.</p>

<p>I liked Clarissa Explains It All- I always wanted the kind of best friend who would just swing a ladder up to my bedroom window, climb up and climb in. </p>

<p>I thought a lot of cartoons were really ugly, stylistically. Like Doug? Hated it. Hey Arnold- awful styling, but I watched it anyway.</p>

<p>Excuse me!? How is it possible to not like Doug. he’s so likable.
Clarrisa was awesome. I just want her weird phone.</p>

<p>Come on, Donny. There was a green character with diagonal red hair jutting out from his head. A girl was named Patty Mayonnaise. Patty Mayonnaise!</p>

<p>Did you ever happen to watch a show called Carcaptors? I think it was on like, FOX WB when we were ten-ish, probably right before Digimon.</p>

<p>Yeah, I remember that! There was a floating little yellow thing right?</p>

<p>Sorry i was gone for so long, I was making a pb and J sandwhich.</p>

<p>Yeah, Keroberos! I don’t remember the Americanized version that well, but my sister has the Japanese version and it is ridiculously cuter and better. Also, everyone’s in loved with one another. It’s awesome.</p>

<p>The seventh food group, naturally. I’ve always wanted make a grilled PB&J. Have you ever had a grilled cheese with jelly inside? </p>

<p>This food talk is making me thirsty. I’ll be right back with some Ovaltine!</p>

<p>More Ovaltine, please!</p>

<p>Dear god, I’ve been brainwashed by those commercials.</p>

<p>Have i ever tried a grilled cheese and jelly…? I’m afraid, more like happy, to say “no.” Is it good?</p>

<p>I have an almost unhealthy love for milk. I’m daring osteoporosis to come near MY bones.</p>

<p>It’s really wonderful. It’s creamy and a little tart from the jelly, but sweet… It’s been theorized that you can make a grilled sandwich with any kind of bread, any kind of cheese and any kind of jelly and it’ll still be wonderful. My favorite is a nice melty mozzarella with raspberry jam or preserves on a crusty Italian bread… Mmm…</p>

<p>Ah yes, the bread/cheese/jam theory. Pioneered by none other than George Washington Carver himself.</p>

<p>I saw it on Food Network. They even claimed a pumpernickel/brie/pepper jelly combination was good… I’m slightly less radical.</p>
