saved!
Is it just me, or does this movie look just freaking hilarious?

It's a parody of ever single christ-oholic ever. Or so I hope....

I know nothing of the plot, only that I hear Michuly....errr...the kid from Home Alone is in a wheel-chair, Mandy Moore is a Catholic School chick, and some girl rams her van into a cardboard, and very large, effigy of Jesus. Huzzah, my friends, huzzah.



Also;

I finally have a cool little blog link...on my blog.

I found it on Panda's site. Funny stuff girl. My friend and I are going to make shirts. Change it whenever the terror alert changes.

Of course we aren't going to make green ones while Bush is in office......

Yay! Just freaking yay!
Good times guys, or if you're in Australia, mates! I have grown to the point with my Franz Ferdinand CD where I stop listening to the intro of Take Me Out over and over and over and over again.

I'm actually listening to the rest of the CD! Time to pat myself on the back!

*pat pat*

Favorite songs: This Fire and Michael

Just awesome. Just dances with Michael.



Soon I'll have this same thing with my new Modest Mouse CD.




And yesterday I bought the new Dark Tower book, which is awesome. It's been a while since I've read the other ones, so it seems a bit confusing, then I remember all what happened in the previous books.

This one, titled Song of Susannah, deals with the ka-tet trying to find Susannah Dean after her split personality #4 takes of to give birth to her "chap".

The ka-tet still has to deal with everything else. Such as getting to the tower, saving the rose, and so on. Those who have read the book know what I'm talking about.



I personally hope to see some fighting between Susannah's personalities, in a way it mirrors when Roland was going insane, likewise Jake.

Those parts were just so cool.

Blame Atari!
I have been absent from updating for quite a while, but do not seek to blame me! I am a victim, not a culprit. You should blame

Atari

Yes! Atari, the game designers. The evil ones who have created a game that is like crack: Unreal Tournament 2004. Yes, my friends, the end is nigh, and you shall go down with us, if you have a fast processor.

In other crack game news, I have discovered Book Worm. Damn you Popcap games, you have created yet another monster.

In non-crack game news, I bought some new CDs! Yes, I am the proud owner of Franz Ferdinand and Good News for People who like Bad News. Franz Ferdinand and Modest Mouse, together at last in a team deathmatch with 60 frag limit!

Sorry, I'm still thinking about the game.

I even DREAMED the game the night I got it. How sad is that?

Money woes
It's not that I don't have any money. My problem is I have too many things I could spend it on. Here's the list:

Franz Ferdinand CD

Modest Mouse CD

Wa Pedal for my bass

Unreal Tournament

Unreal Tournament 2004

Master of Orion 3

Or if I want to save up my money, I could buy myself a baritone guitar, rig up some bass strings on it, and have me a ghetto-6 string bass with a wammy bar.

Either that or a fretless and/or hollow-body bass.

Decisions, decisions.

Any help?

Computer and more music!
I got a new computer chair! It leans back, which I'm very happy about. It was my grandma's, but she's getting rid of stuff since she's moving. That means no more lawn-mowing money for poor, poor Alex. She's moving to one of those maintenance free places. Damn you people!

I also bought Black and White, which my older brother is greatly enjoying. He likes to spank his monkey and make it do things. I don't like it though; it's a little too strange for my taste.

Yesterday was my last bass lessons with my current teacher. I'm going to try to learn up-right bass from this guy who was at a jazz clinic I went to. I'm yet to get a hold of him though. I'm also my bass teacher's only alumni. I'm the only person who's actually serious about music and know at least the basics of theory. No, I still can't tell you the third of a G7 scale.

Neither can you, I'd bet.

Music Camp, part deux
Starting June 20th is my second of three music camps this summer. This one is Midwestern Music Camp, held at KU. It's two weeks, and I'm staying at the dorm. It's all good, though this year we're switching halls again, this time we're in Oliver, like we were two years ago. Last year we were in Hashinger, which I loved.

I recieved the information letter today. I have my account all paid off, which is good. Hopefully I'll make a higher chair than I did last year. Last year I was sixth chair out of 29, which for a pre-freshman is pretty darn good. Maybe I'll get a higher chair this year, seeing that they enclosed the music in the letter rather than giving it to you that day. The music is: "Pelleas and Melisande", Carpiccio Espagnol, 3 Octave F Major Scale, and a portion of a solo of my choice. That means the Faure Elegie baby!

I wonder who my roommate will be...hopefully not a first-timer. This will be my third year at the camp!

The land of the....wait, can we start over?
Today was the last day of the band camp.(Insert sad smilie here....wait, that's an oxymoron. Cool!) I didn't get to talk to all the people I wanted to.(wink wink) It's very unfortunate.

We had a bunch of drills today, mostly marching. What am I saying? ALL MARCHING I don't even get to march during the show. I'm in pit. :(

I like marching though!


Meanwhile...

Here's the story behind the title. You all watched the SugarBowl this past winter, didn't you guys? Well, the pre-show singer as the one and only dumbest blonde of them all: Jessica Simpson. During the practice earlier that day, they were taping a recording...just in case.

She was doing just fine. In fact, she's a great vocalist, which makes up for all the hot air. We get to the end. "and the land of the"

She stops

"Can we start over? Sorry guys"

:que about one-thousand sighs:

It blew. She kept on blaming the microphone. Bullcrap!

On one of the published DVDs that a company made about the bands, you can clearly see a now graduated senior from our school, Brad Johnston is his name, checking out the source of our frustration. No, not the microphone.

Also in band camp we watched at DCI show. Just one so the little froshes can see a pro band at work. So we watched Phantom Regiment's show from last year. It's pretty good. They ranked fourth last year. I especially love the chart in their show when the battery is launched into the rest of the band and sends them scattering.

Though I have to stick with my boys: The Cavaliers. I love the cavvies! I believe it was last year when they began and ended in the same formation. It was very cool.

Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

Groovy
It freaked me out today. I signed on, lo and behold, I've gotten about seven more hits without even updating. What is it with you people? I even got a new guest-book entry, thanks to a spice. So I added that spice and the mate of my fantasy mate to my GB. Just kidding, the fantasy mate probably would be a good third base make-out. Not even a booty call.



Damnit!

Meanwhile-

Wait.

What smells?

Either someone ripped ass, or it's me. Time to take a shower. Be right back.










Ok. I'm clean.

Tomorrow I have my first of three music camps this summer. This one is the shortest: two days. It's a school band camp for New members a freshmen. I qualify as a new member. Though I do have a little freshmen who I'm very interested in coming. Some of you know who that is from a while ago. Check the archives damnit! Or if I break 200 hits, I'll tell you.





Yesterday, before the big storm which I'll get to, I had absolutely nothing to do. So what did I do? I copied a whole bunch of music onto my computer. It took a while. Here's the list of what all I have on there.

Wait, screw it. I'll write another update after this with the list.

Now, to the storm. Another usual Kansas storm. Major, bad, and tornado.

That's all she wrote, damnit!

I have seen it....
Yes, my brothers and sisters. I have seen the change!

A change in what? You ask?

Why, a regime change!

You mean in Iraq?

NO

Where then?

Comedy Central

.....

My brothers and sisters, you must listen to me. For the greats, Carolla and Kimmel, came to me and a dream and showed me the light!

You see my children, the greatest show on that station was the Man Show. Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel were the hosts that did the show justice. The writers that made the show great.

But now, it has been defiled! Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhode have turned the awesome writing of that show into a show about guys asses and midgets! Those used to be side plates in the original! The original with the great ones had chicks, beer, drugs, and then guys asses and midgets. No more my children, no more.

Now, our savior has come in two forms. The old: The Dave Chappell Show, and Shorties Watching Shorties.

The Dave show is a veteran now, having that perfect blend that the Man Show once had. Only now with rap.

SWS puts an animated twist on stand up acts. What used to be an entertaining thing to watch during the credits of a made-for-tv-movie is no longer a breath of fresh air from the crappy movie music, but now its own show!

Thanks the great ones!

Can I get an Amen?

On another note. Have you seen the add at the top of the page on our screens? The one asking you to click on your favorite wall-paper?

Am I a bad man for clicking on the kittie cats?
