badass sunset

well, if it had to get dark, this was a pretty sweet way to go about it. dark purple clouds with neon pink underbellies, wispy grey clouds off in the further parts of the sky that range from baby blue to whitish grey. fiery orange base silhouetting the massive dome of some nearby house of worship in the foreground. slowly dissipating jet trail cutting across the whole scene which is itself slipping away. choose your own metaphor.
and all that while axis: bold as love was on, with its excellent color-based lyrics. some hendrix tunes just never get the love they deserve. corollary: some get way too fucking much. seriously, i think i could go at least five years without hearing his version of watchtower. he did like a rolling stone way better anyway. that dude really dug dylan. like anyone should really. speaking of which, i still haven't seen i'm not there and probably won't catch it in the theater. this is the least of my losses resulting from educational commitments. the only element of my life which has not been rendered lossy (wow, spell check does not mark that) is my audio files. hooray for flac. i swear sometimes it sounds better than cds played through the exact same equipment. this does not change the fact that at this very moment a number of my classmates are studying more effectively while listening to 64 kbps mp3s played through the earbuds that came with their ipod. i know itunes uses some fucked up audio format that isn't that bad to listen to, but i also know that most people haven't filled their ipods exclusively via itunes. the feds know you didn't, and they are coming to get you. do not ask me what to do when they get you. i'm ass deep in criminal defenses as i write, and i will probably drown in them before i get the call. also, it would be against rules of professional conduct for me to give advice. this is a thing i have learned. it will not be on this exam, whereas myriad nuanced and incredibly detailed aspects of criminal law i have yet to fully penetrate (sorry, working on the rape materials right now) are more likely to be the order of the day in, uh, less than two days. shit.
