Punch him out and give him a gold record.

Comment Commentary

Tony- I see.

Mimmi- Yes, but I'm sure that somewhere along the course of my life, the religious motifs portrayed in ancient Egyptian architecture will be used.

Alex- I haven't bothered getting many skills yet. I pretty much stick to what I had from the beginning, but I've found Point Blank Shot to be pretty useful.

Solo- Live shrimp look creepy. With all of the legs and everything.. *shudders*

Shin- I could go for some pasta, too. What a coincidence!

satan665- Spaghetti's awesome, too. God, now I'm all hungry.

I just went on one of my Barnes & Noble music section scavenger hunts. After everyone being gone all day (they went somewhere far away to look at model houses), they decided to go eat at a Mexican fast food restaurant in honor of.. The fifth of May. I really don't know how to spell it in Espanola.

Anyway, after a crappy burrito, we went over to Barnes, which I did not expect. That's always a nice surprise.

Anyway, they're cutting librarians out of our school district, which majorly sucks, but at my brother's elementary school they're naming the library after the librarian, who has been there for a very long time.

She's a very cool librarian, and even though I haven't even used that library in over two years, it still sucks to know that she won't be there. She's like a staple.

But part of the dedication is that you can go to our Barnes & Noble and donate an AR book. My parents did two, so I didn't bother.

Anyway, a list of music I listened to:

Alkaline Trio- Good Mourning I downloaded a free Alkaline Trio song off of some random website (For the record, it was "Trouble Breathing"), and was mildly pleased, so I checked out this album. It sounded okay, but I'm not sure if it warrants a purchase.

Jesus and Mary Chain- 21 Singles I've had this one under my ever-watchful eye for quite some time.. The only downside is its price. It's $19 in the store, and $20.79 on iTunes.

"Where Is My Mind"- a Pixies Tribute Teh suck. The end.

Nine Inch Nails- With Teeth I haven't heard much of this band's music, so I checked it out. It was good.

Blue Oyster Cult- Then and Now A few live recordings of some of their most popular songs. The shiznite.

Some new Ceasars CD I just checked it out to see if the Jerk It Out recording was any different from the original. It's not.

Older Von Bondies records- They're a good band. I like Pawn Shoppe Heart a lot, but I can never seem to find their older stuff. Lame.

That Etro Anime CD I spent 16 bucks on, including shipping and handling They had it in the store. I came across it for $12 and was angered.

Beck- Guero I didn't really listen to it- I've done enough of that on iTunes. I just looked more closely at the cover art.

I was mostly on a long and epic search for an Arcade Fire CD, but there were none to be found. Boo.

The History test was easier than I had expected today. It was still harder than the math test- I guessed on several problems- but it was still easier than I had expected.

The funny thing is that I got it done really quickly. As I was sitting there, waiting for 45 minutes to pass, I glanced over at my friend's paper and noticed he had bubbled in a different section.

So I glanced at my answer sheet. And then back at his. And back at mine again.

"..God damn it, I bubbled in the wrong section."

So I transferred my answers and erased the incorrect section to the best of my ability, but knowing how retarded the bubble-scanning machines are, I'm probably going to still get them all wrong somehow.

The second half of the test is tomorrow, along with some science thing. I'm assuming that it will focus more on American history than ancient history (that was today's thing), which isn't good. Lately, all we've been doing is taking notes, with absolutely nothing done to sink the information in, I just kind of mindlessly copy the words down. Not good.

*worries*

The concert tickets came in today. Thus I started my "harass my friends into paying me back for the tickets" campaign.

Suffice to say, I haven't made much progress. I'm not assertive enough.
