What I don't understand is why people want to know what lyrics mean.
Me too

Once instance that annoyed me is a band at my school was playing, the guitarist was very good, overall the whole bandwas awesome. Except the singer didn't have his PA system volume up high enough, nothing big. I turned to my friend and asked him what he thought. He said it sucked. I asked why, and he sasid because of the singer.

I Was A Kaleidoscope

12-16-2005, 10:26 PM

I had a weird dream.
My class was in a computer room, it was an English thing or something.
I tried to turn my computer on, but it didn't work.
So, a music teacher came in [who has nothing to do with computers] and thought he'd fix it by opening it up.
He did, and instead of computer parts we found:

. A lock
. 2 bottles of some drink
. 2 bags of illegally imported pork snacks

So me and this teacher ate them.
And then someone comes along and says 'you two are douchebags, go **** each other'.

Two of my friends are doing some strange tribal dance in the background.

And then I woke up.

I've had weird dreams lately as well. About a couple of nights ago, I had a dream I was in a gas station buying condoms. Last night, I had a dream that I had a posse of crime fighting hookers, like in Sin City, and we went around and did drug busts and all sorts of other kinds of police work.

We had physical fitness yesterday, and now I am sore as helllllz. Especially my arms and quads and a little bit abs. I did 45 sit ups in 60 seconds, thanks to my abs of steel and 6 years of saxaphone playing, but only 29 push-ups because I have no upper-body strength whatsoever and because I am a woman. Ouch.

I've been meaning to see that for ages but I'm waiting for a time when I can watch it with my friend. That and American Beauty.

I watched The Man Who Wasn't There. Highly reccomended for fans of film-noir and modern noir. Also, it's a Coen brothers film, so if you like them you should seriously see it. Finally, it has Scarlett in it, so there's really no excuse for not seeing it.

Yeah, this is a greatly overlooked movie. It's overshadowed by The Big Lebowski and Fargo. With good reason, those movies are excellent, but this one is top notch as well.

I watched Capturing the Friedmans yesterday and it was very compelling. It's about family being torn apart through police accusations towards the Father and the youngest son. They were both accused of Sexual abuse/sodomy towards young boys. What made the movie so gripping was how unsure I felt about the characters innocence, throughout. So many conflicting stories made it very difficult to be decisive on what I even thought about Arnold Friedman and Jesse.

hmm. I just finished watching Amelie, and it was good. The cinematography was beautiful and had some really pretty shots, even if the story line frustrated me at times.

I really enjoyed I <3 Huckabees.
I ordered Tao of Pooh from my library. I'm interested to read it. Right now I'm reading Catch-22 and A Brief History of Time.

I think I might be getting strep throat. I really hope I'm not, and if I am, I hope I can still get it crunk on New Year's. :/

Some of the songs are soft like old b&s (Dress Up in You, Act of the Apostle II) and some have the upped piano effect that sounds either newer or totally different (Sukie in the Graveyard, Another Sunny Day). The Blues are Still Blue is definetly my favorite song from it so far, this album is pretty great, I plan to buy this. Oh yeah, and they drop 1 or 2 guitar solos.
