Merry Christmas!

Yep. It felt wrong not commemorating that awesome monument to commercialism (and possibly family togetherness...and maybe Jesus in some obscure cultures...) so I thought I'd pop on and wish those of ya who are still here a merry Christmas!

By the way, ISB is officially a year old! Par-tay!

Yeah, but we still aren't official. Un-Par-Tay.

Merry Christmas regardless, and a happy cocacola New year!

A tiny, insignificant detail.

So how are the holidays treating you? (You get this half of the year off from school, right? Or am I totally confused?)

Yeah, I do get this part of the year off

And it's alright... I got a few games, so I've been playing the crap out of those. 2 CoD titles (old ones..), and Bad Company for the PS3. Awesome console, and blowing the crap out of buildings with grenade launchers is just epic

Haha, sounds like fun.

I only get this WEEK off, which kinda sucks. Yeah, it's not summer yet here, but still. I need a longer vacation to keep hold of what's left of my sanity. Christmas was pretty cool - got a bunch of music, plus tickets to see Clutch last night. (They were pretty awesome, despite the fact that they got started in the 90's and don't exactly have a new following, possibly making me the youngest freaking person there. Awkward, yes. But fun.)

Well, your christmas sounds better by far. Games are good once: music is good forever

Haha, very true. I think the CD that's been getting the most mileage this week has been "Nothing" by Meshuggah. Seriously, you need to check it out if you're into Tool.

I just realized, it's been a week since I last logged on. Sorry about that, I've been cruelly deposited back into post-vacation reality. Complete with rehearsals for the one-act festival that starts in less than 24 hours, which I still don't think we're quite ready for. And yeah. Mid-year exams in less than 2 weeks. And my last college application, which I still need to write an essay for, due on the 15th.

Oh - something totally hilarious happened this week. Some random person tagged our school, which never happens, ever, because I live in that kind of town. While I definitely feel bad for the people who have to clean it off, I have to appreciate the epicness of the graffiti itself. Check it out.



It's kinda hard to read, 'cause they tried to hose it off, and were pretty darn quick to spraypaint over the work "fuck," but it reads "MHS [my school] builds the wall. Escape while you can! Fuck the public bicycle."

I think I know what that's meant to mean... but I'd rather believe the strange man.

And I'll listen to that. As soon as I can torrent the damn thing, my downloader keeps changing the time from 6 hours to a week - for 124 megabytes. Up your, technology. Up yours like the man on that bicycle.

Haha...more like the millions of children all crammed onto that one public bicycle.

But ironically enough, in a sense, I guess I am fucking the public bicycle. Wholeheartedly. I mean...in spite of all their homework-laden abuse, I keep coming back every day.
