Books are cool

I haven't posted in a while. You may have noticed this. I haven't quit blogging, though, and apart from April, I haven't had any spam since pleading with Jesus to please make it stop. So Anon. comments are still on. Yay.

I suppose I'm going to have to be all responsible this weekend. Yesterday, I went to the Jennings County-CEHS football game for about half an hour to get some footage for the announcements. Cause that's my job. It was somewhat amusing. We left at the end of the first quarter. The Score? Columbus East, 35. Jennings County, 0. Wow. By the time we were in the car, and had finally found the radio station it was on, the score was 49-0. At the end of the first half... 63-0. Poor Jennings County.

I think they sent in the second line for the second half, because the final score was 63-20. But we pretty much pulverized them.

I'm almost sorry.

I hate to say it... but the JCHS band is better than ours. >_>

I have to mow the neighbor's lawn sometime today. It looks like crap. And I never know when they're going to show up.

Sigh. I really don't want to.

I got bored, went to waldenbooks and bought a nice leather-bound-looking empty book, dug a fountain pen out of who knows where, and started writing down some of my poems and stuff in it. So far I've got 18 pages complete. I'm better at writing with a fountain pen than with a pencil, for sure.

I am strangely averse (heh, used a vocab word) to doing anything useless, like writing in books or using the internet or what have you. I don't know exactly what's with me... maybe after I mow the lawn my productivity-meter will go up a bit and I can do something stupid.

Hmm.

I need a real job.

Okay, I can tollerate you calling North's band better than us, but Jennings County?

No offence Patrick, but you don't really have any place saying how good or bad our band is sence you have seen our show a total of one times.This year, we are actually doing exceptionally well, getting better scores 10 points better than this time last year. And that's even with an uncomplete show. The show that you saw was a flop. It was an experiment. the first show pretty much always sucks anyways.

That sounded kind of mean, but I must stand up for my band when people ruthlessly critize it.

oh, and greenwood, the band that has been to state for the past 25 years only beat us by 5 points. Which is pretty damn good. Plus, our percussion section beat theirs.

Another word abotu JCHS. They haven't participated in ISSMA in 8 years. Prior to that, they have hardly ever even been past regionals. Columbus East has almost been to state for the past 4 years. that's a huge difference in the abilities of the two bands.

Sorry about the three long ranty comments.
