a week in songs

so i made this (last) week’s playlist before i flew out of LA, but then the whole cross-country flight after a bitch and a half of a semester meant….i landed, i ate dinner with my family, and then i slept.  for approximately 34 hours straight.  and then i forgot to post it.  shame and dishonor. 

or, there would be, if these playlists had any meaning beyond “yesi can keep this up for more than a year of course” in my own head…
