introducing the hotly antipated third album from Summer North - Darling
Darling is a firecracker of 80s synth pop-inspired love songs described by the artist as “falling in love hard and fast and all at once”, this album is sure to be the sound of the summer (no pun intended) and North says she hopes every gay person gets the chance to kiss someone hot at a gay bar while one of her songs plays. a departure from the slowed down more indie feel of her last record, Darling is full of energy and vocals which solidify North as one of the hottest singer/songwriters of this decade.- Pitchfork

With summer coming up in my location, I start getting into a nostalgic mood. I had some incredible summers as a kid, from road tripping to going to visiting my relatives in Sarti to just staying home and hanging out with friends.
The times my family stayed home were memorable. This was in an era when the internet wasn't around yet. Gosh I hope this doesn't date me, but every summer night the radio would host a scary stories hour, sort of like today's creepy pasta. You could call in with your own creepy stories too. I'd have a tape player on standby to record them and play them back later for friends who missed them. My uncle also had a radio that picked up number stations and that was always so mysterious to me.
My friends and I would buy a bag of oranges and we'd walk to the beach either to just swim and pick up shells, or attend a festival. Or take a bus to the downtown and go to the comic shop, go to the arcade, get slices of 7up cake or a gelato, go to the mall, rent a karaoke booth, go to a photo sticker machine, go check out a local concert, make zines and copy them at the convenience store as well as send mail to long distance friends, go whale watching, or eat some fish and chips at the end of the pier. Sometimes there were workshops too. I went to a kiln house with a few friends and made dolphin figures. I learned how to work with silver clay and some rings. I volunteered at a community garden and brought home lots of produce like tomatoes and bitter melon, as I cooled off at home with mint tea, barley tea or halo-halo.
The only thing I hated was summer homework. Either reading a book from a list that had nothing I liked, going to a seminar where I had to listen and take notes from a local professor, or the least painful... do an at-home science experiment. Usually for this involved bug catching or keeping a mini ocean aquarium. I remember keeping a tiny starfish alive in a tank for an entire week and monitoring it. That was fun. I let it go back to the tide pool it came from.
Sometimes I recreate a day of those childhood activities during the summer. Especially the late night horror stories, playing games, and eating/drinking favorite stuff. It's a nice low tech way to relax.
My family is still planning out our vacation this year, we usually stick around San Diego or go up north to Monterey, staying either at Hotel Del Coronado or rough it at the San Simeon Campground. Both locations are just minutes from lots of fun places and are a compromise between my mom and I, as she's more city and shopping based, I'm more about nature and local museums. But we can definitely agree we both love the beach and theme parks. If we plan it right, I'll be able to celebrate my birthday there.

The trumpets bring the angels, but they never came, and no one let them in 'cause they didn't know my name. I know I keep my feelings so tucked away, just another day spent hoping we don't fall apart- So drop a bomb on all the things we dreamed about

Imagine finding out you're a demigod (potentially in an explosive way), being explained all this by a real life satyr, being escorted on a likely perilous journey to this mysterious magical camp full of distant cousins divine just like you, only for your mythical absent parent to never claim you, and you end up in Hermes Cabin without even a bunk.
You're stuck there for years, offering up the best parts of your dinner hoping your parent finally acknowledges you, a sleeping bag the only comfort from the hard cabin floor.
And out of nowhere, this kid who just showed up barely a few days ago, gets claimed by one of the big three. He shouldn't even exist because of the oath but here he is, and yet your godly parent cant even deign to metaphorically sign your birth papers.
I'm just saying, I get why kronos got an army of halfbloods
