Hi, I didn't go to school today. I made tea and a bagel with strawberry cream cheese (new favorite thing ever) for breakfast, and a grilled cheese with some minestrone soup for lunch. My mom had another job interview today. Money's tight lately. I kind of wish I had gone to school, I realized when I awoke that I missed out on pinwheels for peace. From what I've been told it's not a huge deal but I would've liked to have gone out for it, it was real foggy this morning. I plan on biking over there later to check it out.

Did I tell you I tried out for the school play? We're doing And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, and I'm an understudy for some unidentified part. I'm pleased with being an understudy, I'm not all that good at acting and its a small cast anyhow. But hey Brianna's Mrs. Rogers! This way I'll get to spend more time with her at rehearsals after school every day, since we don't have any classes together this year. I have the book And Then There Were None, I think I'm going to start reading it tonight.

I had so much trouble last night coming up with my myth for DeCoteau's class. I kept going back to fireflies and spiders, but in the end I chose whales. So that's what I'm doing, a myth about whales, and why they have such strange mating calls. Solid idea, I think so. I spent most of my morning youtubing whale calls and googling pictures of beluga whales. I think I'm forming a soft spot for belugas to be quite honest. I can't get over how cute they are.









I saw 500 Days of Summer at the theaters with Kara the other night, and I'll admit it didn't live up to my expectations. It was decent to say the least, but I ended up despising Summer's character, which made it difficult to enjoy the film over all. Just like Peace Like A River.. I didn't particularly care for Reuben, the narrator, and that kind of zoned me out from liking the story in general. But yeah, Summer was fucking annoying and totally ruined Tom, not for life of course since the story had to end on a somewhat uplifting note but, man. She disappointed me. And I really like Zooey Dechanel! I guess you could say she did a good job playing an awful character, enough to make me like her less, even though I know that's not true and that I just wasn't fond of the role she played. Joseph Gordon-Levitt though, boy is he a heartthrob. So my choice of meat. Okay we're stopping there before I make anymore a fool of myself. (One last note, doesn't he look like cheekychen with a little scruff on 'im? I think so.)


I've been so into Portugal. The Man recently, particularly Church Mouth. God that album is good, Shade is definitely my favorite track. And Johnny Gourley's not too bad to look at either. Why am I such a girl? I've also been listening to Ricky Turner's gĕullah non-stop. That was actually the last album played before my ipod broke when I was walking home from school the other day. I really like The Earth, His Banner, and Father's House. I can't stop singing 'em. You can download it here:

Still don't know what I'm going to do about my ipod.. It refuses to cooperate, and that makes me very sad. I've also taken up Bloc again, I lost them for a while there. I've been listening to the last half of A Weekend In The City particularly since I feel like I don't know it as well as I do the first half, which is a strange feeling since I'm a definite album listener compared to a song listener. Anyway. I'm really looking forward to the new Lightspeed Champion, I saw Devonte comment on a video of his the other day that two new albums are in the works. I've yet to purchase Chris Garneau's El Radio and Portugal.'s Satanic Satanist but I'm getting to it! And! Mia just informed me today of Devendra Banhart's latest album being released on the 27th of October. Also, quite exciting.







Hm.. What else to go on about incessantly.. I started played Ocarina of Time again. I've gotten a lot better, it's such a fantastic game. I find myself listening to Team Teamwork after every time I play and I think it's becoming a bit of a problem. My itunes and internet weren't working this morning and I was just about writhing on the floor without ma Busta Rhymes set to the Gerudo Valley theme. I don't know why, because it's honestly not all that good. Like it's clever and all, but I don't know. THX DEREK PEELZ, even though I know he doesn't read this. I wonder who does read this. It's pretty embarrassing actually. In fact, just about everything I do internet-wise is embarrassing. My myspace, my facebook, my youtube. My youtube especially, jeez. Why am I so self-concious of how I present myself via internet? Because I sure as hell don't care what people think of me in real life. Le sigh. Enough of this.
