Have the Across the Universe soundtrack. The music certainly benefits from the movie. Obviously, the covers aren't as good as the real Beatles. Am listening to the real Beatles' songs in order of the track listing according the back of the Across the Universe cover. In comparison to the original track, "Dear Prudence" is probably the best of the covers. But "I've Just Seen a Face" wins just because of the bowling alley scene. It just looks like so much fun. I still am bitter about the "I am the Walrus" fiasco. The original was so funny, but Bono just = suck. Then, Strawberry Fields is missing giant parts, like the parts with the trumpets and violins where John's voice isn't being overshadowed by the louder instruments, where he says "No one, I think, is in my tree. it must be high or low." The part where I thought that he said, "It must be high on love." Which would have been better or made less sense. And the ending bit, with the "Cranberry Sauce" is missing. And the third verse of "Across the Universe" is missing completely. And I don't like the covers of "Let It Be" or "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?" and "Don't Let Me Down." "Revolution" was okay, but it's a pity they didn't have a Greek chorus for the harmony part. That's my favorite part. And chanting the "Na na na" part of "Hey Jude" is a perfectly natural reaction at any time at all.
Have played Nancy Drew: White Wolf at Icicle Creek Lodge. Almost finshed but have to play this stupid checkers game that I always am losing at. <*Spoiler Warning*> The best character left because I found him smuggling dinosaur bones. <*/Spoiler Warning> It's a pity. And there was a reference to Duck Soup.
Anyhow, on a different note, I'm going to the Islip Art Museum next week to see if they'll give me a job. Because now, I want to work at a museum rather than teaching. Because I played Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Scarlet Hand.
Had to fill out applications and write essays today. Have to work on my scholarship essay. Because I deserve money, too. Apparently. I hate writing myself. I feel like such an asshole. Then, when I fill out sarcastic comments, my mom says "Sarcasm is not an attractive quality." Then, I feel bad about my sarcastic comments. But then I feel bad that I lead such a boring life that I have to make up things like "I want to build a time machine, but I just haven't had the time." Or "Blue Highways is most certainly my favorite book." "The only things I like are the Civil War, the Beatles, and Harry Potter."
