Sometimes I Forget I'm Supposed To Be Moaning

It's been a hectic week. Not true, I just haven't really thought about posting a blog much. Saul Williams is pretty awesome.
I tell ya who is amazingly fantastic live, though: Death Cab For Cutie. Damn, they totally blew me away. I did not expect them to be such a sight to behold. I can't really explain what made them so great (I'd be here all night), but there was so much passion and energy in every single note they played. Moving stuffs. It was nice to see Simon (although I did see him the other day at Lloyds), and I felt a bit bad that my sister had no-one else to go with, but she seemed to enjoy Simon and mine's company enough. New experience: going to a party after a gig. It was cool, I expected more people from Bullers to be there, but I also didn't expect a lot of people who were there to be there.
First Delve practice in ages today, which was amazing. Wrote three new songs, practiced the old. Seriously getting excited about the 2nd August: first gig. Tunbridge Wells Forum, be there, bitches.
In other news I have a new webcam, my sister also got back from Spain the other day. We aren't the closest of siblings but it was cool to have her around the house again. I'm glad we get on. She got me a cool necklace thingy.
I have a short list of things that I'd like to achieve in my gap year, aside from the obvious 'earn money', so that I don't feel like I am just wasting my time:
  • Learn to play the piano to a reasonable degree of skill
  • Gain a basic understanding of Russian
  • (Re)read the following: A Brief History Of Time, The Universe In A Nutshell, Six Easy Pieces, Does God Play Dice?, Physics
  • Learn some moderately advanced computer programming
I tidied my room for the first time in freaking ages today, I'm so proud of myself. It actually looks pleasant now. It's a bit untidy now due to the band practice, but nothing compared to how it was before.
There has been a slight breakdown in communication with Alissa and me, but it's nothing major... I hope.

I'm hot.

Completely out of context to your blog but this made me laugh....

"The problem, of course, was Seth's "drug problem" which was so inane that even Summer made fun of him for how wimpy and unproblematic it was. But when he accidentally burned down his dad's office in a drug-induced stupor, the show crossed a line. Anyone who's ever smoked grass will tell you how ridiculous that whole scenario was. And here are a few reasons why.

1. You're not going to get high in your dad's office. Even if you're really mad at him for putting his job before his family. You're still not going to do that.

2. And you wouldn't leave a roach on the desk, much less the half a jay that Seth left. That's a waste of weed. People don't do that. Sure, stoners have been known to misplace their stash once in a while, but never a joint that they're in the middle of smoking.

3. So don't tell me he was too blasted to realize what he was doing. He barely smoked half a joint that was not very fat to begin with. Unless ODB's dealer is now supplying Orange County, he wouldn't have been high enough to leave a joint on his dad's desk.

4. Because weed makes you paranoid.

5. And besides, joints have a tendency to extinguish themselves. That's why you're always going at it with the lighter. If grass really burned like it does on "The OC" Bic would be out of business by now."

ALSO....that was the season finale!!! A little more warning next time please!

I was NOT pleased with that ending...marissa dying is WRONG its like killing off DUMBLEDORE! Just don't do it.
