nothing livens up a robotic hymn of doom better than an amazing pair of jugs.

well, maybe some things could liven up a robotic hymn of doom better than jugs. for example, how about punch and pie? there would be more people around if there were punch and pie. of course, there might be more people if there were an amazing pair of jugs. i dunno. i guess it all depends on your definition of "an amazing pair of jugs". it also depends on who is singing the robotic hymn of doom. if it is benjamin gibbard, i won't be there. if it's sam beam, i'm there already, no matter if there are jugs or punch and pie or complementary shin guards. sam beam kicks ass. and that's all there is to it.

speaking of sam beam, iron & wine and calexico are playing in saint louis in december. i am very tempted to go. i think i will, at least if i can get someone else to make the trip with me, thus lessening the gas cost from my back, especially since i will be driving to buffalo four days after the concert. going to saint louis would also give me a last chance to say "fare-thee-well" to james. plus, it's iron & wine and calexico. probably the best show of the year that i would have gone to. we will see, but i probably should decide soon since the concert will probably be sold out. stupid garden state using iron & wine. stupid stupid jerksssssss.

i registered for classes today. i can take a whopping 6 credits. that's right: 2 classes. number theory and seminar in teaching math. i am gonna have a lot of time on my hands, especially since there are no g.a. or t.a. positions open. i don't really want to sub, but it will be a good resume builder. if i can't (or don't) find a job, i've been toying with the idea of just taking out a loan to escape my parent's roof. but then i think that loan would do better for a new car in the future. i dunno.

some good news that i am certain about: i was finally able to get a new phone for virtually free ($50 with a $50 mail-in rebate). stupid t-mobile made me wait about three weeks to get it. it seems like the phone i wanted was only free after i had my bill for about three days, then they make their nicer phones cheaper to sucker me into extending my contract and getting a new phone. well, it worked. i'm just pissed that it didn't happen a couple months ago. whatever. crappy cell phones.

i got the new sun kil moon cd "tiny cities" and it's really good. granted, it's a cover cd. mark kozelek decided to make a cd all of modest mouse covers. i like modest mouse and i really like the way mark remade their songs. quite interesting and a little bit easier to listen to. and by "a little bit" i mean "a lot".

salud.
