Stuff.
So, I was in the car yesterday, coming back from Barnes and Noble--where I got AP Computers and AP Government study books, which makes me strangely happy and hopeful about these tests--and I had the radio on. And, you know, when the radio person is talking about all the songs they just played, she mentioned the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I was shocked a good deal; you don't normally hear anybody say anything about ska bands on the radio. It's like, taboo or something. I was a little disappointed that I missed the song, because I have this irritating habit of flipping back and forth between my two favorite radio stations almost constantly, so that it's rare that I'll ever sit through an entire song.
I flip back and forth a little more, and eventually just stay on the other one. Then I got this curious feeling listening to the next song start; that feeling when "ok, I know this song, it's probably on my iPod, but I'm not consiously aware of what's playing yet and all I know is that I know this song very, very well." Right. It was "One Foot on the Gas, One Foot in the Grave" by Streetlight. I was so effing excited right then; but my mom was seriously annoyed with me, so I was trying to sit as still as possible and not turn it up too loud. I made her leave the car on even though we were already parked in the garage so that I could hear the whole thing. It would have been more magical if I wasn't awkwardly sitting in the car, in the garage, with my mother, but it was still pretty flipping amazing.
Yes, so the foreshadowing was pretty sweet. Plus, the day before this, I saw on their website that a news update was finally posted and I got a renewed sense of hope about the 99 Songs of Revolution project. Apparently, they're still working on it, and that makes me feel much better...the saying "no news is good news" is a bunch of shit. I wanna know about progress, even if there hasn't been very much--just so that I know the whole thing hasn't just been pushed in a back corner and forgotten like my Script Frenzy seems to be doing.
Today isn't going so magial...I'm trying to do a practice AP test for computers, and failing--I've been sitting for at least two hours staring at the multiple choice, and it sucks a lot. I decided to just get up and take a break for a little while, cos my Psych teacher says if you take a fifteen minute break, you can study much more efficiently afterward. That's why I'm sort of going stream-of-consciousness on you now. Right...and the tickets to get to whovian42's went up, and I'm extremely mad with myself, especially since I'm trying to save as much money as possible to help contribute to my Australia trip this summer. It's not really working. Speaking of the trip, if anybody (by anybody, I mean any of you that actually live in this state, hehehe) has any books they don't read anymore/want to get rid of, it would be awesome if you'd like to donate them to me. I'm planning to have a used book sale sometime in late spring as a fundraiser.
Anyway...I guess I should try to finish that computers garbage. I'm having one of those days where you don't have anything planned to do, and you hope you can get a lot accomplished, but then it ends up dragging on, and getting completely wasted with nothing to show for it. That's one of the worst possible things that can happen to a day, I imagine.
By the way: I really enjoy this mood theme image because I get to watch Claire getting slammed against the wall over and over again. :)
