I have like 20 minutes before I need to start walking to class. I'm listening to Bad Astronaut and Armchair Martian's split CD and it's making me feel excellent. Those are two bands who both need to come out with something new. I love Drag the River and all, but if AM came out with a new CD (not a retrospective, planned for later this year, but a new CD) I would pee my pants in joy. Also, Bad Astronaut announcing a new CD would cause me to have multiple orgasms.

So after three weeks we've already spent 800 bucks or so fixing my car. But hopefully once I get it back it will be good for a long time. I don't know why I can't pick cars that work. I do everything everyone tells me, but it just doesn't happen. Of course, I could just blame all this on the fact that the cars in my price range are fairly high mileage, and at a point where stuff breaks. Things break down. I guess it can't be helped.

I'm really far ahead in all my classes, which is giving me trouble. I'm afraid that I might get all cocky and not do anything for a week and fall behind. So I'm trying to stay up on things. But videogames are calling me louder than ever. So I have this class, Literature and Social Sensitivity, which I never wanted to take. But I was signed up for a Linguistics class, which actually sounded interesting, and it got cancelled, so now I'm back in yet another pointless, stupid literature class. The teacher didn't even know he'd be teaching it until four days before the semester started. I just bought the books yesterday. The class is terrible. The reading load looks terrible. I want to file a formal complaint with the school, but I don't know who to complain to. I need to bitch about how being a writing major means taking too many reading classes, how the honors program sucks, and how I'm paying all this money to go to school here and I'm not getting shit for quality classes. I am, however, taking two interesting psychology classes. Too bad it's too late to change my major to psych, or even minor in it. My bad.

Relationships are hard sometimes.

People who like hip hop, go get Sage Francis' new CD, "A Healthy Distrust." It is very good. Lagwagon's live CD came out too, but the Finest loves making me angry. It was written on their new release board, but I asked for it and they said they didn't know it came out. Right. Apparently they don't read so good. So it's still not there and I'm not happy. If I get my car back sometime, I'll just go to Best Buy and get it.

Everyone should find all three versions of Statler. One called Statler #3, one called The Statler Pat, and one called Statler 2000. Two by Armchair Martian, one by Bad Astronaut. That song will change your life.

I wish I could be as optimistic as Eric. He inspires me sometimes. I guess things move in circles. They're kind of down right now. I can see them getting better soon.
