All Or Nothing

Very Important Question

Very Important Question:

What is the best paper writing/studying music? I'm in dire need of many hours worth of this type of musical entertainment, but it's kind of tricky to find, you know? Can't have lyrics you'll really listen to a whole lot, or you'll get distracted. Can't have anything too terribly upbeat, or you'll just follow through with all your premeditated plans to drop out of school and be immediately done with finals and papers forever. Conversely, can't have anything too sleepy, because, well, then I'll be, too. So, I need help.

And, in an attempt to be just as [opposite of nerdy] as Jeff T, I'm gonna post my little countdown, as well:

6 days until Return of the King
5 days until I am DONE WITH UNDERGRAD CLASSES, FINALS, PAPERS - FOREVER!

whew.

A Story of Obscene Extremes

A Story of Obscene Extremes:

1. I'm eating cake frosting right out of the can. Yep, it has 8 million grams of fat and about 9 trillion calories. Nope, I don't care.

2. Amy (my best friend and one of my roomates, for those of you who may not have had the pleasure to meet her) is now moving into my room. With me. Yep, it's really small. Nope, there is no possible way that we can fit all our stuff in there.

3. I got all my laundry back tonight. Yep, it was more than a week ago that I said it was imperative to get it done immediately. Nope, I'm not gonna tell you how I got by for another week, nor would I encourage you to use your imaginations.

4. The total laundry poundage count was 88. Yep, you read it right, 88 pounds. Nope, 88 pounds of freshly washed laundry does not make the fitting-everything-into-a-tiny-room situation any easier.

5. Even though I hate grocery shopping, and I have no money, and it takes me one million years to pick out what I'm gonna buy, I went to Market Street tonight. Yep, I got all the way through the line and realized I didn't have my wallet. Nope, the irony wasn't lost on me.

6. Today, one of my professors asked our entire class to write out what we thought the opposite sex wanted most in a relationship. Yep, most of the girls thought guys wanted to watch sports and have sex whenever they wanted. Nope, the guys didn't deny it, except for the one guy who threw out "Well, I don't like sports...."

7. I'm going to see Damien Rice at the Gypsy Tea Room on Friday the 28th. Yep, it's gonna be awesome, almost as awesome as the company I'll have. Nope, I have no doubt that the three of us will prove to be the lucky charm that makes great concerts incredible, just like the last one we all went to together.

8. I'm putting off the inevitable....I don't want to go back into that quickly-shrinking room and look at the mass of clothes, books, magazines, bedside tables, chairs, and beds that all somehow have to fit in a semi-organizational manner. Yep, you remembered correctly, I'm the girl who seems to repel all organization. Nope, I have not a clue why we ever thought this was gonna work.

How can you think I have time for 9 and 10 after reading all that? Give a girl a break.

Winner Winner

Jeff T wins. He was the first to correctly guess the riddle. I feel that he might be a genius in our midst, a diamond in the rough, if you will.

Also, for any of you who were wondering what happened with the Red Baron pizza ordeal, Amy and I did, indeed, eat the entire pizza, and nothing bad happened to either of us. At least not yet.

And last but not least, there are about a million Radiohead tickets circulating out there for their show at the Hollywood Bowl tomorrow night. And I'm going to be in California. Tempting, is it not?

Mr. Gray

And never once
Afraid to Know
What it feels like when you go
Out beyond
Where logic keeps the view
Falling down the mountainside with you

Hail to the Thief: An Extensive Review

Hail to the Thief, Hail to the Thief! Genius. That's all need be said.

I'm Indifferent To All!

I like that Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles song Crazy In Love. And I don't care what any of you think, either.

Mr. Matthews

Let me walk with you, maybe I could say
Maybe talk with you, open up
And let me through
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see what's on my mind

How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Mr. Gray

confusion wanders in
strides the evening like a king
chaos and turmoil prevail
bedlam reigns, hope is drowned
ah but strangely we settle down
resigned to the sinking ship on which we sail....
another night is getting late
I don't know which way to go
there's just this long white road
and I can't think straight
no I can't think straight
