  Oww....
I went in to get my braces tightened this morning. >_< They're hurtin' a tad bit right now…
I had to go in and get em’ tightened at 8:30 this morning (I was supposed to go in during the afternoon of last Thursday like I normally do, but my dentist got sick and we had to reschedule). But, since I didn’t have to go to school until after my appointment, I was able to sleep-in an extra hour this morning! ^^
Because of that appointment I missed all of Art today (not that I miss that nasty old Art Kaiser! ^_^ ), as well as the first 15 minutes of English.

English I actually did mind missing, because those 15 minutes caused me to miss a bit of Schindler’s List, which we finished watching today.
Man, that was a great movie! I highly, HIGHLY suggest it if you ever get the chance to watch it. Very moving, very engaging, and as I said, the cinematography was spectacular (Steven Spielberg is THE MASTER!!!).

Let’s see, what else?
Oh, I scanned-in the first of the Symphony X CD’s Josh lent me; “The Divine Wings of Tragedy”, on Monday night. Excellent album, that one is. ^_^
I also started listening to the second one he lent me; “Twilight in Olympus”, last night. I listened to the first 4 songs, and I’ll save the rest for a bit later.
I swear, Symphony X is so friggen’ awesome. They’re just so creative and talented it’s not even funny.
I may just have to post some of their awesome lyrics here for you all to see sometime soon.

I spent a good while yesterday afternoon with my Dad digging out that area I mentioned last time. Believe it or not, we almost got half of it cleared away! o_o
And though it was tough work, I actually enjoyed it; being able to spend some father-son time with my Dad. We talked about some pretty deep stuff, too. It’s great to finally get to spend some time with him. ^_^

I think that’s about it for today. Please be praying for me as I’m studying for my exams!

Here’s today’s Art-Feature…
“No. 004” by ehime:


This picture is the fourth in a series called “Silent Prisoners”. Each pic depicts an eerie, zipper-mouth doll being tortured or killed in one way or another, with this one in particular standing out in quality and style.
Anyone who’s familiar with my style knows I have a bit of a thing for solid but abstract art, this picture fitting into that category. It requires no explanation (unless you yourself feel inclined to create one), but instead merely portrays a theme or idea.
And no, I don’t like artwork like this because it’s “creepy” or “sadistic in theme”. I like it because it’s creative, original, and emotionally thought-provoking. So there. >=P

Well, I’m off to visit your sites!
I’ll see you all tomorrow! ^_^
