My titles don't mean anything anymore. Last year I tried to have some sort of theme or point, even a minor correlation. But now I just post whatever song lyric is bouncing around my head.
Pretty unexciting week thus far. Monday was par for the course. We started Dracula in Goth Lit. By "We" I mean the class because I haven't even looked at it yet, but I plan on doing so shortly after this blog. I am the world's worst procrastinator, no doubt.
Other than that I still have a couple days to get done with my small paper in A.I., my two quizzes in Database Modeling, and a journal I have to get started for my group in Implementation.
My chief concern currently of course is, as always, the internship. What in the world am I going to do? Right now I am just trying to finish my resume, but the intern in career services has yet to get back to me. Once again, some new internships came in and... I can't do them. They are in the cities and I am kind of going to school here? Blarg.
I could just work for free at some computer fix it store but, I'd rather get some experience in a relevant field so I can actually get a job upon graduation. That is becoming more and more of a pipe dream though. I'm pretty worried.
Yesterday I did nothing at all. Slept in till noon, went and bought a bunch of junk, and went home to enjoy it.
I got a "To Write Love On Her Arms" shirt because I've always wanted one. It's pretty awesome. For the uninitiated, TWLOHA is a group doing work and raising money to prevent suicide. I find it to be a very worthy cause, as I have had my own experiences with depression and can understand how helpless one can feel in that state. These people definitely need help, and we should do whatever we can to support them.
I bought a pair of shorts at Old Navy to wear once my leg doesn't look so sillty with the giant patch of no hair on my otherwise hair legs. That way I can show off my tattoo and receive kudos and/or derision for what I have decided to permanently brand on myself.
I got Forgetting Sarah Marshall at Barnes and Noble and got ripped off. $27 dollars. Pretty sure I could have went to Kmart and picked it up for 20. So I feel kinda dumb there, but oh well, I just have to remember to not do my DVD business there anymore. I still kinda need to buy books from them though.
Finally, I got 3 awesome CD's that just came out. The new Bleeding Through album is being touted as metal album of the year, and while I think Haste The Day's offering this month is going to beat it out, it is a very solid effort and pretty awesome.
One bone of contention: This band used soundclips from Boondock Saints on one of their albums and while I thought it was cool hearing that at 16, I just decided it was stupid, especially when I saw the movie and decided it was just boring macho posturing cinema for BroGuyMans. Whoa dude, they like, shoot people and stuff! Bleh.
Well on the new album, they non-ironically conclude the intro track with Leonidas from 300 yelling, "TONIGHT! WE DINE! IN HELL!" and I rolled my eyes so hard they popped out of my eye sockets and rolled into a nearby sewer grate.
Maybe it's just the little hipster inside of me that doesn't think anything is cool if it's not obscure, but come on. 300, really?
But the main event were the 2 Bayside albums that just dropped. They are easily my favorite band on Earth and have been for a couple years, and probably will remain to be for some years more. They put out a live album that is absolutely phenomenal. I am very happy with it, and it makes me wish I could see them live right now. They are playing on October 10th, but I am not making plans to go see them. Maybe, just maybe, if tickets are available still next Monday I will consider it since I wouldn't have to miss any school and I'd have a place to stay. But I'd have to go alone. Lame.
The other Bayside album that dropped is their new full length, and I haven't had a chance to listen all the way through yet but what I've heard is pretty awesome. I am sure it will grow on me further as well, like their last album did. I am pretty excited about that.
I am slowing down pretty drastically on WoW. Leveling has been fun thus far and Friday night was awesome, but now that I am 50 as of last night and I have my awesome 2 handed sword, I just don't feel very motivated. My guild rarely does things together, it's more like a group of friends that quest independently. And getting from 50 to 70 is insanely difficult to do, just because the getting of XP is so slow. It just seems like it's going to be a big chore and I have other stuff going on in my life right now, or rather I should be working on other stuff in my life at this point.
But that is enough rambling for today, I'll be Bach.
