Now Here's The Moon...

Myspace is awesome. I'm currently just going through their list of bands and listening to artists I've never heard of before. It's wonderful. Cori Yarckin is going nowhere, though. Ashlee Simpson beat her to it and Kelly Clarkson is pwning it. She's pretty hot, which would explain why she's so popular on there. Sex does sell, but you don't have to buy it. Sage words from Mr. Good. Dig Lauren Hoffman.

Finished the essay. 10 pages, 4001 words. Take that, I.B. "You don't need any analysis if you don't want a good mark. It's okay. If you don't have any analysis, you won't do better than a C, and you'll die homeless and alone." I spent two days on two sentences, trying to describe the French horn and why it was perfect for the Birth of the Cool recordings. I'm that anal. And it was only a rough draft. When I was working on it, I was writing about 500 words a day, which is a huge drop from the last essay I did when I wrote about 2500 words in about 6 hours. I would periodically get up and run around the house, yelling and flailing my arms to the beat of 'Right Off'. I was losing my mind, I'm pretty sure.

I.B. is going to be terrible this year. No spares, three bands, all those CAS hours. No job. On the bright side, I finish all my courses by the beginning of May. Then I only have symphonic band, wind ensemble, and jazz. Then I'm free to get a job and finally practise my ass off every day.

I've decided that Hugh Dillon is awesome. And Ryan Dahle. New Matt Good track was leaked this week. 'Big City Life' was played live last year, but was recorded early this year. It's a little different, but really rocking. The music and general tune really do conjure up images of a lonely downtown scene.

I've found the perfect slogan for the chess club: Checkers is for tramps. - Paul Morphy.
