Titles require thought

So, my homework was done at a pleasant 9:00... and I figured I'd give myself an hour of whatever before heading to bed so I can kick the rest of whatever-sickness-I-have to the curb... So, what better to do than blog? Right? Right.

So, I guess I could do a class roundup, considering how long it's been.

1. Japanese--Actually spoke Japanese. Seems obvious, but we actually do very little of that this year... It frustrates me sometimes. Too many good quotes over the months in that class to remember any of them.

2. US History. All I remember is writing, writing, and more writing. I spent about 2 1/2 hours regurgitating an "American Heritage" article last night, then I had to regurgitate it again in class, and take 2 pages of rapid-fire notes on some Roosevelt filmstrip. Not good on a day with lack of sleep.

3. Physics -- Basically sucked... Mr K has the annoying habit of using sports analogies constantly... So the calculator is our "physics shoes," he's our coach, and the test is "the big game."

Yeah. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

4. Algebra II -- Same old same old. Math. woot.

5. English -- So, we're dividing chapters between groups in the class so that Mrs. V doesn't have to explain everything. Apparently she's tired of talking (which, coincedentally, is her job, but hey), so she's having us explain chapters of The Scarlet Letter to the class. We got chapter 17. We're doing a dramatic re-enactment. We'll see how that goes.

Lunch -- I was pretty exhausted by lunch. The unidentified sickness killed my appetite, so I had 4 chicken nuggets, OJ from a can, Ritz bitz and like 8 fruit snacks. As far as the social part of lunch... nothing monumental happened.

6. Show Choir -- So, the 50-page christmas medley is officially dead. Mr. H stopped playing the accompaniment mid-phrase, made a face, and said "I know we've been working on this for forever, but would you mind terribly if we sang something else?" The class erupted in enthusiasm. So no more" Christmas Garland." We are now singing a soul-ridden "Hallelujiah." It'll be cool enough.

On another note, there was a joint effort of show choir and drama today to list all 150 original pokemon from memory. I am proud to say we were successful, though it took about 2 hours. We also remembered all the trainers and the cities to which they belong.

7. I was pretty much just sitting there being quiet... remembering pokemon and cities and such...

8. Second to last day on the Potter's wheel... I would've liked to make something other than bowls, like maybe a nice vase, but considering the mood of the bowl I did make today, I'm lucky that even lived...

Stayed after to aim lights and that sort of thing. There are still a couple of stupid places that are badly lit, but for the most part it turned out ok. Plus I get paid for being there.

Got a haircut... not screwed up, woot. Bought gum. Did homework. Yeah, that's my day.

Ongaku post

It's been a few months...

Captured in Chinatown -- The best band ever to only get 10 plays a day. The instrumentals are creative... just all around cool. Don't feel like analyzing right now, what can I say.

Emery -- A bit more hard-rocky than I usually post here, but hey.

Annuals -- Interesting. Very interesting.

Boys Like Girls -- Nothing that different, but hey, I can appreciate a good emo band as much as anyone.

I'm kinda glad I can't vote.

So, here's a post about the much-publicized Hill-Sodrel race for Indiana District 9.

I don't like Hill's economics.

I don't like Sodrel on social issues.

So Libertarian Eric Schansberg seems the logical choice... but I'm not so fond of him on the war.

So then, what are my priorities?

I'm an angsty, repressed teenagers, so social issues are big.

But then the idea of millions of dead Iraqis doesn't sound so great, which seems the likely result of pulling out quickly...

And it doesn't help that all Hill and Sodrel do is sling mud at each other. I haven't seen a single positive ad in the whole campaign season. All they do is bash each other, and I don't support that, and whatever the issues, I don't want to condone that bullcrap.

So I would probably end up not voting anyway.
