This scares me because its creator is completely serious. Check out his profile, by the way--speaking in tongues? Scary.

Speaking of creators, Taaja posted an awesome video of this guy's PC game he invented called spore. It's pretty amazing.

So this guy writes poetry with page/breaks and it starts a national discussion about paper waste. Ecologists protest, ecology poets are confused, or take sides, the apologists of/for poetry recite at the top of their lungs, red in the face: CREATIVITY, FREEDOM OF POETICS, ETC.!

I have written the worst paper I've ever written and the worst paper I'll ever write. I could list the things that went wrong on it, but they would make you cringe, then cry. And that would be mean of me to make you cringe, or cry. No I won't list them. It's too embarrasing. No. Fine, I will:

  1. Too short (by more than half).
  2. Blue ink.
  3. Printer messed up making somewords almost illegible.
  4. We had an assigned title--I used my own.
  5. I forgot to attach the works cited page.
  6. I'm pretty sure I accidently copied down the wrong page # once or twice for the in-texts.
  7. It was a bad thesis in the first place.
I'm sorry, here's a napkin.

I was watching the Jeopardy rerun just now and I saw that a commercial for the local 10 news channel. Among the list of headlines and Skysearch 10,000 nonsense, there was something about how "it's saint patricks day on the MSU campus and there's also basketball game. Cops are ready for anything. Jeez." *cue scary-news music*

Wren-Ovation

So, last thursday, I think, I ran into this old friend of mine named Wren. The last time I saw her was back in Sylvan, Michigan probably the last day of my 8th-grade year.
I had a huge crush on her. I visited her and she gave me a hug and said she missed me. the end.

Just got back from a frontier ruckus gig at the detroit film center where we were the soundtrack to an old, old movie. It went great!

So matt then had this idea where--matt owns a projector by the way--we would film, or at least play, footage behind all of the frontier ruckus shows. Which is cool and OTC like. I wish I had a projector. At least a camera.

Forget what I said about that elodea-listening in the submission office being a good sign. We weren't one of the top 11 demos there--we're not in. I've been looking foreward to this for too long...sigh. I think the overall shittiness of the recordings and their lack of drums was a major problem.

Next year it's possible we'll have a place to practice and a place to record etc. but 'next years' don't always pan out as Ben and I've been planning this battle of the battle of bands since last march. I just wish I had something else going for me.

What's good though is that Frontier Ruckus made it and I know Molly-Jean made it, so congratulations to Matt and Molly--their songwriting is great.

I'm home and my bed is comfy and clean. And though the suberu is hurt with two flats and a dead battery, I am confident that I can repair it and go to Farmington, Ann, and Spring Arbor.

However, The action stops here, on 522 East Commerce, at 10:30 most fridays.

Heidi called and left a message today when my phone was napping. She was submitting her movie AJ Goes to France (in theater's soon) to the EL film contest the secretaries were listening to some Elodea from our submitted 6-song demo. A good sign? Heidi and I think so.

Also, I wrote a poem the other day that my great poetry prof. liked, which made me feel great. It was about ice-cream, YUM! A flirtatious poem, it characterized my personality as I exited that class and the building. Oh the songwriting and short stories! The poems! I've been feeling creative lately because I've had to.
