Radiohead - 01 and 10 →
So I just tried this, and while it kind of has that Dark Side of the Rainbow feel to it, there’s no denying it’s got me wondering… (plus: a cool new playlist, to boot).

Rosenhan experiment [Shock Corridor] →
Last night I watched Shock Corridor (Sam Fuller, 1963) based on reddit’s recommendation, and it turned out to be pretty damn good.

What makes an Awesome day:
Having a meeting with your Honours advisor that goes 300% better than planned. Drinks at the bar with classmates re: group project (with bonus surprise appearance by girlfriend and (boy)friend!)—that turns into ordering multiple pitchers and ultimately ordering Jack shots for all.
