Blue Euphony
Hello! Well, I have some wonderful news to share! Christopher from Decapolis Labs sent me a message on MySpace earlier this week and said that he had finished mixing Planetarium's new single. So, Josh and I went to pick it up and pay for it on Saturday night, and right after we got back in the car, we played the CD. The songs sound amazing! When I first heard it, I just said "Holy shit!" and I couldn't stop smiling. XD Josh had a similar reaction and we were just really excited! We sent the songs to Andrew right after we both got home and he was ecstatic! I sent the songs to Andy in an e-mail and he was also very pleased. Aaa, I'm just so happy! My sister said that Planetarium finally sounds like a real band and, thus far, we've had a lot of positive feedback about our new songs. So, without further ado, here are links to our new single, "Blue Euphony."

I hope that you all enjoy them! Oh, I also want to mention that Josh and I met Christopher's dog when we picked up our single and his name is Michael Doglas. XD Everytime I think of that, I can't seem to stop laughing! Anyway, Charity also took some great pictures of us in August. Here are links to a few of them:

In other news, the removal of my wisdom teeth went very smoothly and I recovered pretty fast. I was a little nervous when I first arrived and felt apprehensive when the anesthesiologist tied a band around my arm. I was unaware that they put an IV in your arm when giving you general anesthesia and was thus surprised when it penetrated my skin. I felt kind of faint and I think I may have blacked out for a minute or so, but considering that I was lying down in a chair and was about to be put to sleep anyway, it didn't really matter. : P In any case, the next thing I remembered was waking up in the "recovery room" with a blanket over me and I felt so content and warm. I laughed a bit and just felt like smiling, and, according to my dad, I was talking as if I were drunk. I really don't recall that, though! I was given gauze, papers for my prescriptions, and then my dad and I left. I've been in a bit of pain since then, but I didn't really experience that much discomfort. I could only eat Jello, pudding, and soup for some time, but it wasn't too bad. The Vicodine was certainly nice! : D I can now understand why it's so common for people to become addicted to Vicodine. It made me feel so pleased with life and free. Unfortunately, I took my last one yesterday. I'll miss you, Vicodine...
Josh, Andy, and I went out to see "Resident Evil: Extinction" on Friday night and we had a good time. Josh and I hadn't seen Andy since our photoshoot in mid-August, so it was great to hang out again! The movie itself was kind of ridiculous and the acting was rather bad, but it was fun. : P The three of us also went out to Starbucks earlier tonight and talked about what we plan to do for our next few band practices. I've felt oddly sentimental about Andrew, Josh, and Andy since we recorded this August. Aa, I love them all so much! XD
I watched an Argentinian movie called "Valentin" last night and it was definitely one of the cutest movies I've ever seen. The film is about a little boy named Valentin who lives with his grandmother in Buenos Aires. His parents divorced and so he has a rather complicated family life. However, he always seem to be positive and tries to help his family. It was a really touching, honest, and adorable movie with magnificent dialogue. The boy who played Valentin was also extremely cute.

Just look at him and imagine him speaking Spanish in a really cute voice. XD At any rate, I watched another movie tonight called "Good Morning." It's a Japanese movie made by Yasujiro Ozu in 1959 and is about two little boys who decide to stop speaking after their parents refuse to buy them a television and scold them for fussing about it. It was a very interesting, humorous, and ironic film focused on the uses of language. I found the story really enjoyable and the dialogue, though simple, was oddly meaningful.
One of my neighbors has a spotlight that turns on whenever a person or animal moves in front of it and I hate whenever it flashes this late at night. I always wonder if it could be a murderer or something. XD It's also in direct sight of my window, which isn't very comforting. : P
Considering that I still haven't been called by any state government departments in response to my applications, I've had quite a bit of time to play video games lately. I beat Xenosaga: Episode III last week and it was a great game. The plot, gameplay, music, and character development were all stunning and the ending was very emotional. Aa, it will definitely remain one of my favorite games for the rest of my life. I then moved on to Katamari Damacy, which is definitely one of the most bizzare video games I've ever played. You play as the Prince of the Cosmos, and your father, the King of the Cosmos, accidentally knocked down the stars when he was "embracing nature." So, he sends you down to Earth to gather items on your katamari (a ball which items stick to) and then make stars out of this giant bundle of items. You start off gathering small items like thumbtacks, erasers, and candies, but eventually get to roll up people, animals, buildings, and lots of other things! : D It was such an addicting game and I really enjoying rolling up my surroundings. Actually, when I was driving a few days ago, I had an urge to run into a cone because I wanted to roll it up. This is not a good trend. XD
I'm sorry for writing so much. Thanks for reading! : )
