Still expecting?

Comment Commentary

Tony- For whatever reason, I have some sort of grudge against Spanish and refuse to learn it. I'm indifferent towards Latin.

Mimmi- But that's being a delinquent! Are you trying to turn me to the dark side?

Shin- I made a similar crack about my school at registration. There were actually kids who already knew Spanish taking the class. Slackers.

PsychoValkyrie- I used to try learning Japanese, but I gave up. I'm too impatient for self-teaching.

I came across the video for Blue Orchid by the White Stripes today. It's definitely a strange video, though still cool. It kind of reminds me of the Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground video, but more appealing to the Hot Topic crowd.

Maybe it's just the black and red. I dunno.

I was also looking for leaks from their new album today, but they all seem to have been removed by now. It comes out next week, anyway. I don't have to wait much longer.

I started writing up a list of albums I need to buy last night, after reading some of Tony's 150 Musicans That Rock (and listening to his FlamPlayer stuff, which I shall greatly miss). I don't know why anyone should care about this, but I'm putting up what I have so far anyway.

- The White Stripes- Self-Titled, White Blood Cells, Get Behind Me Satan
- System of a Down- Mezmerize, Toxicity, Self-Titled
- Modest Mouse- Moon & Antarctica, Good News For People Who Love Bad News, and others
- Say Anything.. Is a Real Boy
- Tweaker- 2 AM Wakeup Call
- The Arcade Fire- Funeral
- The Von Bondies- Lack of Communication, Sympathy Sounds of Detroit
- Ted Leo and the Pharmacists- Hearts of Oak, Tyrrany of Distance, Tell Balgeary, Balgury is Dead
- DJ Tiesto whatever (too many albums to count, though most of them are remixes, according to my friend)
- The Breeders- Pod, Title TK
- Deep Black (I forget the album names)
- The Jesus and Mary Chain- Munki, Psychocandy, Darklands and whatever else they might have that iTunes isn't showing, as I am too lazy to do cross-referencing
- Stephen Malkmus- Face the Truth
- Glassjaw- Everything You Wanted to Know About Silence, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
- Beck- Mellow Gold, Odelay, Sea Change, Guero
- Marilyn Manson, if I can somehow obtain it without my parents thinking I'm becoming a satanic mass-murderer
- Polysics.. Any CD, as long as it has this one elusive song on it. I found the video for it, loved it, can't find it anymore, and don't know the name. I've been searching for it all night.

I'll be adding more, but for now, all I have to say is this: Well, Tony, I hope you're happy for making me want at least $150 in music before putting 20 musicians up on your site. >:|

Random whoring: Another Industrialization thing on DeviantArt. I demand you check it out.

I was supposed to write up legal documents for an English project today.. But that didn't happen. I probably would have if I knew what the hell I was supposed to be writing. "Legal Documents." Sure, teacher, but what KIND?

She's always vague about these things, and it sucks.

We were supposed to invent something, but my friend and I were lazy, so we just made an "iPod for books." Uninspiredly dubbed the iTome, we made a mockup derived from the iRiver PMP, and a ripoff ad using an image of the guy from Masterpiece Theatre.

My friend was supposed to make the actual physical version of it today but odds are that, like my documents, he didn't do it.

I bought Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones today. I loved the first one, but never bought it, and now I have the second one. At the moment, I'd have to say that the characters seem a lot more flat than the ones in the first one, but I've only played for a little over an hour, so I can't say that for certain.

This is just to hold me over until Advance Wars DS, though.. My God, that game is going to be sweet.

EDIT: Something funny I just noticed: My iTunes library goes from Marilyn Manson to Maroon5. Quite the contrast there, eh?
