well it's wed.
i work from 8-12.30 , somehow eat lunch in between 12.30 and 1
then...i have art from 1-4, dinner round 5 , western lit from 6- 7.30 or 8, then i'm suppose to go out with chris around 8 or 9.

it was disasterous last night ....
well i thought chris and i were suppose to hang out last night ... and he hadn't called , my friend matt decided to pick me up around 8 and take me to cups and buy me coffee to make me feel better.....i didn't want to go to cups ... i told matt i wanted to stay in my room and read my book.... he said no we're going to cups......i told him it was a bad idea.
well we go in and chris isn't in site ....but he was there ... so this didn't look good
and i didn't talk to him while i was there , but we talked a lil bit on the phone after i left
i don't think he's too happy that i came by and didn't even say hello.but who knows maybe he didn't care ... i'll find out tonight.
mernt.
after that i decided i should go out with the guys ... derrick tells me they are going to buffolo wild wings and if i decide to come out they will be there ... well i go and everyone in the whole freakin city is there , i call derrick to see if they are inside ... "no, we went to time out... i didn't know u were coming"
so i failed at trying to go out last night , went back to the dorm and finished reading my papers on co-ed dorms.
mernt..

i hope art goes well today .. i really want to go outside and draw again...i'd really like to finish the fountain.
i think i'll listen to some r.h.c.p. today in that class.....

so last night i returned to my educational psychology class for the first time since easter break. i would find out about my paper tonight. I walk in and put my things down and walk up to the teacher. I ask her if she recieved my paper and what she thought.
"well , actually i did have a question about your paper, now where did i put it ?"
she fumbles around and finally pulls it up out of her mass of messiness.
"Here it is ! now is this really your paper?" i look at her baffled
"did u write this?"
"Yes, mam, that's my paper, i wrote it"
"well (as she flips through it ) it just sounded a little too theoretical"
:::too theoretical ?????!!!!! it's a research paper of course it's going to sound theoretical! :::::::
i knew i had to convince her that this was my paper.
well i did ask my parents for adivice and help on researching it and things of that nature i told her
"so your parents wrote it ?" did i say that?????
"no mam, i wrote it , i jsut aked for their advice"
"well it just sounds too theortical"
i had to let out my dirty secret (that i have successfully kept for the whole term until now) now if i wanted to survive this train wreck and pass the class
"well my parents are psychologist, both of them"
"oh"
"so this is your paper???"
"yes, mam it's my paper."
"ok, well if it's your paper, it's your paper"

i'm in disbelief at this point
i was trying so hard to fight yelling at her or talking back
i kept thinking to myself maybe i should have responed with "are you saying it sounds too smart to be my work?"
and i thought maybe i should tell her i took a whole week off of work to finish this and the night before i turned it in i stayed up till 12 finishishing it on sunday, not to mention that whole week i stayed up till 6 in the morning working on the blasted thing.

we then went into a discusion about the speech i was about to give
i asked her what she was looking for in the speeches (note i'm use to giving speeches in speech class so i'm thinking in terms of that class) well she tells me "well your speech has to show that you know the information and that the paper is in face yours"

i just about exploded. that paper is mine
now the topic i chose to research was "moral development in children"
now it's not my style to cheat and also look at the topic , who in their right mind would chose moral development as their topic and then cheat on it !!!!! the paper is about moral development , it's unmoral to cheat !!!! and the papers on moral development!

....at this point i don't know what to think of this lady anymore. does she think i'm stupid or desperate to get a great grade in this class .
i don't know all i know is i worked my butt of to succeed in this class and she accuses me of not writing my own paper!
next thing u know she'll think i cheated on that quiz 2 weeks ago (i made a b+- yay for me!) i didn't even know we had a quiz till i walked in there, which shows i've been studing anyway and i've been working hard.
......anyways.... i really don't like this lady! if she gives me a bad grade on that paper i will snap , cause i know it was good . obviously it was good cause she accused me of not writing it!
and i was afraid i was going to sound too smart.


before i gave my report i started chating with the class about my other speech i would be giving this week. Co-ed dorms
well we got into a discussion about it , i'm already worried about my speech on thursday.
well when i finish my speech on moral development this girl raises her hand
"oh yes?" i say pointing to her
"so about co-ed dorms?"
we go into a class discussion about co-ed dorms for about 15 minutes
i got attacked
my speech was on moral development not co-ed dorms
i was not fully prepared for this debate , i could not believe it .
the nerve!
i sat down after being attacked by my classmates who were not open to the fact of co-ed dorms and were very closed minded in their beliefs.
what a night.
i couldn't believe it

but i did have a wonderful time in art yesterday. i only had to go for 2 hours and i did a very nice rendering of the fountain between preston and fitzhugh.

i'm so glad i don't have class on tuesdays...makes everything so much easier.

Thursday, April 24, 2003

okie so today is the day of the farewell show to 238 and i'm excited about seeing them play tonight.
now in respect to monday nights show ..... it was well amazing , everything i expected and more
we arrive in new orleans around 3.15 and we get out of the car (larry, me, and timmy), right as we step out into the blistering sun i am struck with a headache which successfully progresses thru the night. we start to walk around looking for where the shim sham just might be . we successfully walk to krystals (sit and eat a lil something) and then stumble into a few bars asking for directions. {everytime we had to walk somewhere we did a good circle- it's amazing). anyways we finally make it to the shim sham around 4. and there is a line . stupid high schoolers didn't have school today and they just decided to stand in line 2 or 3 hours before the doors open. well we sit there and before we know it more kids show up and more. we're surrounded by youngins! and they are welll annnoying as crap. we finally get in after sweating all out liquids out for 2 hours. we get in and go straight to the stage. (we we're stage bound all night- it rocked) well we make a few freinds who end up taking our pictures quite a few times, i hope they dont' plan on putting those up on the net- they might scare a few people. anywyas the first band was damone, from MA, and well they were very rock n roll but the chorus' to all their songs were they same oh e o, woa woa, very joey lawerencey i might add. well after that Further Seems Forever comes on . and wow did they rock or what , i was amazed. words cannot describe what i experienced. it was wonderful and i ended up with a further pic, good souviner . well after further the juliana starts setting up , they take bout 30 minutes which isn't bad but it's the fact that i have a pounding headache and i'm about to pass out. they keep just pounding away on the bass drum, i'm bout to explode from pain. then they start flickering with the lights - wow how much does this band want to be rock stars - a lot. expecially the lead singer. well they finally come on and blow us all away. they start rockin out and they do amazing. they are very much a show band btw. but one thing about the lead singer , he's a lil creepy, he just has this look he does alot that says i'm crazy and weird and creepy. you know that creepy old man stare - he has that down. it's a shame he cut all his hair off too. well they played my fav. song of theirs so i was very very happy. and they rocked my socks off it was great. they finish and i get josh's (guitarist) water so i don't die. i hope he doens't have any diseases. so then we're left waiting for the ataris. well they come out to the strobe lights and some music that sound like the kind before the movie with the lion and everything. well they come out liek rock stars and blow us away with yes I O U one galaxy- my song!!!!!! they successfully played every song i wanted them to play, there isn't one i can think of that they missed. they played summer wind, your boyfriends sucks, i mean they just did amazing. at the end they came back and started playing and well the room exploded in confetti, and it rocked , they then did san dimas high schol football.. and pulled some one from the crowd to play and he actually did real well. well that was it we left when they finished . i was one of the happiest people beside the fact that i was in total pain. it was amazing. i finally got to see them. i've been in a state of pure happiness ever since i got back. i gave the concert one of the highest rating , maybe it doens't deserve it but to me it does because it ment so much, 9.5. maybe even a 9.8.
oh yeah i made a cd for this little trip- so i would definatly stay awake the ride home - it had the white stripes, sk8r boi (the song), coldplay, the faint, 50 cent, hot hot heat, the song swing swing, missy elliott, crawling in the dark (the song),the song bring me to life, ludacris (move bitch), ice cube (put your ass into it), and i believe that was it. it was definatlly a crazy ride.
beef jerky was also my companion in keeping me awake the ride back.
oh yeah hollie if u wanna type in italics u click the i but u type in between the two eyes like so.

man i hope today rocks my face off. cause this week has been amazing, i think hollie will agree with me on that.

oh yeah randomness, i was discussing the food situation at school it's getting worse , you know what they gave me for dinner on sat.> lays potatoe chips, a granola bar, teddy grams, and a lil debbie chocolate waffer bar. that was suppose to last me sat night and sun morning. wow.. and dinner has been so bad i have had to leave campus and go to chick fil a, but last night i couldn't cuase of class so i definatly had lucky charms (because the other cereal tasted so bad- imitation stuff) and 2 oranges.... i think they are going ot try to starve us in the next two weeks or try to poisonous again.... that was bad.
imaging having your hamburger meat in a pan....filled with grease... and you aren't sure if they are really cooked -well kids that's what they are feeding us.
i hope the next school has better food cause i won't be able to afford eating at other places a lot.



Saturday, April 19, 2003

well i took thurs. and friday off of work , and i was going ot work on my ed. psyc. paper but i didn't get anything accomplished so today i am going to try to work on it cause tomorrow after family lunch i HAVE to write it cause i have to email it to her monday morning before i head off to new orleans.
in other news there is a show tonight at the madison cultural center it should be full of good times and rockin peoples faces off.
i agree with hollie i never noticed but u do get a light headed feeling when u listen to the faint .
in 238 news thursday i should be out of class in time to make it up to the show , hopefully it will be at horizon becuase it's down the street from school.so i will not miss this once in a lifetime experience.

right now i'm chillin at mq (musiquarium) with jimmy . good times good times.

speaking of crushs - mines a complete jerk and lied to me about last night. he pretty much ditched me so i am no longer talking to him.

sorry for the random rambling today but hey it's all good.

hope everyone is having a good easter egg.

Yeah i dont really get that either. Connor really isnt even that young. There are so many other kids doing the same as him who are the same age... or even younger. Only a few more weeks til he is mine.. i mean til i see him at the roxy? Love , Hollie
does age really matter in music???? i mean really what's the big deal about how old connor (of bright eyes and desaperacidos, and many others) is , cause he started young - well good for him , i'm sick every review i read about that deals with one of connors many bands says something about his age. it gets kidna old and annoying.
he's a talented young man... lets leave the age thing there.
Guess who's in the Emmi's College Nomad? Yes, its me Hollie. Just wanna comment on the The Faint since Emmi mentioned them in her last post. Believe me you will get a light headed feeling when you listen to them. They are such a great band.
The whole 238 disbanding thing is a sad thing. We will miss them. Emmi if someone goes over their 4 minutes this is the ONLY time i give you permission to go off on someone. Only of course because its a once in a lifetime thing.
Here is a quick update of yesterday and today.
Went to my boys practice... they were wonderful as usual. We went to the park to play wiffleball , of course i had to be the umpire because im crippled. People at school keep singing the Hot Hot Heat song Bandages when referring to my injury .. its funny so i dont mind.
I talked to my crush last night after spending most of the day with him. He was mad/sad about something. I hope he is better.
Today i went to school for my SGA meeting. I decided to go without crutches.. im now in pain. So here i am back at the dorms collecting my crutches, making this awesome post and just relaxing before i have to go back to school at 4. A nice guy in my dorms named Josh gave me a ride back to the dorms. I have talked to him a few times but never this in depth. We had a really good conversation, i hope to continue it more soon. well im going to take a quick nap , and maybe some lunch before class.
ok- my dad saw my hair .... we chatted had a nice convo.... but he said i was prettier as a blonde...i think he just has to get use to it first ... then he'll like it. next up mom - i think she'll faint or say something like oh shit. or choke on her food. ( i only say this cause well she loved my blonde hair and i did too.. i just needed a change.)

we are only a short few days away from the show at the shim sham
and also only a week away from the 238 farewell show > and if anyone goes over their 4 minutes in speech next thursday they will pay!!!!! u keep my from 238 and u will pay. i'm pulling out the 238 shirt that i still havent' worn for next week and it will have on it r.i.p!
might cut it up a lil too . but then again i might not.
if u are one of the unlucky that have not heard 238 please go buy the album.
you will like them i promise if u don't then i'll buy u a sno cone... and then thro it in yer face

another band you should check out ... the faint. they will truly rock yer face off.

Tuesday, April 15, 2003

i've been reading reviews and columns all morning on pitchfork.com. I find many of them very humorous and i couldn't help but post this one . Now i never expected this to come out of a white stripes review but some of it reigns true. Because i was very suprised with this album as i have stated before ... expecially when it added in some "blues" influences. i was just plain suprised when i heard the new album (though i have not heard all of it ) i was still suprised and was not expecting what i heard at all.

>Church's Fried Chicken now sits at the crossroads of Highway 49 and Highway 61 in Clarksdale, Mississippi like an unaware, prefabricated neon mausoleum. While you can no longer barter your soul to Beelzebub for guitar-picking prowess, The Man will gladly exchange your eternal being for a place on the fryer and a hairnet. Or one may just opt for the Sweet Biscuit Crunchers and some Purple Pepper Sauce for a dollar. The tragicomic irony of a fast food joint squatting on the Valhalla of Delta Blues out-tarnishes our collective lore more than the Bus Stop of Gethsemane and adjoining Mount of Olives Hotel. And when you toss one of those sugary Sweet Biscuit Crunchers or gooey Honey-Butter Biscuits into your fat maw, you can let your mind drift to the thinly veiled sexual euphemisms of the blues, where biscuit almost certainly means "vagina."

The Blues had been raped, exploited, stolen, diluted, rediscovered, reforgotten, and rendered meaningless countless times long before the Russian Mafia kept hot on the heels of the Blues Brothers 2000 and the House of Blues primarily showcased Wu-Tang side projects and Godsmack. Now, nearly a century after its birth, a non-ironic, post-Jon Spencer form of the Blues has risen again, ever so stubbornly and somnolently-- and naturally, it's being led by white kids. Jack White *ahem* not only name-drops Robert Johnson, he covers him. Summons him. Wears the same little derby as him. On "Ball and Biscuit", the album-stretching stomper of the White Stripes' fourth album, Jack White moans, "Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar," and it's all too plainly clear what he means.

What's less clear on the track and the rest of Elephant, however, is just what Jack White intends. Certainly, one of his goals is to simply Rock, which his shit-hot guitar solos do bombastically. Those Sears-Roebucks pickups buzz and screech like atomic harmonicas on the album's best songs. Past this, though, White struggles to tenuously weld a growing amalgam of contradictions and genre experiments held with a veneer of schtick, persona, and Fonzie cool, while Meg's pancake-handed drumming and the two-piece format drips solvent over the whole experiment.

this is for all my friends at belhaven who can't seem to grasp the term emo...... "Emo to me is not so much the three-chord pop riffing of the Get Up Kids or the overpassionate nobody-loves-me preciousness of new-schoolers like Dashboard Confessional, but instead the mid-90s Midwestern scene of bands with a recipe of rhythmic complexity, hardcore/post-punk sensibility co-existing uneasily with anthemic tunefulness, and a tendency to moan about the womenfolk. Hey, the wintry climate of Middle America produces a lot of sensitive dorks, your humble narrator included."and examples of midwestern bands - this would be hmm hot hot heat... yus i'm giving them another plug.
now the first part > nobody loves me preciousness is what i am characterizing some of them as when i saw wow he is so emo that's it. expecially jodie chance. who is all about some dashboard and believes chris is better alone than with further. if he only knew .... if he only knew.
class dismissed.
oh so i just found out that after being six months out of print, me without you's [A>B] life is now back in print.
woohoo. so go get it now
also hot hot heat ..... man oh man ...what a band . you should definatly check them out . my best bud hurt herself at their show.. and well they took good care of her...way 2 go guys. and man is she one lucky babe.
also i really wanted to hate the white stripes new album elephant ... now i'm just pissed at the album cause it's really good. i actually like it, i had not been a huge white stripes fan and was not planning on likeing them but they had to come out with a good album. the opening song - seven nation army is catchy and well great. it starts off with a nice bassline and simple drums (jsut kicking the bass drum) and jacks low vocals .....then it moves into rambling guitars and louder vocals. i now have to go buy the album it's so stinkin good. so check em out i recommend it.
Emmi
closing a cingular account is like pulling teeth , all i wanted to do was close the account and they have to go and try and make my account like it was in savannah... man why couldn't they do this earlier .... they were all like i jsut think we can give u better service than sprint. i'm happy with sprint they haven't pissed me off repeatedly yet or tried to screw me over. cingular however has been a pain since i moved back to mississippi and they can kiss my ass and close my account.
on the topic of this weekend man what a weekend.
friday i went and saw some friends in the dance on impluse at belhaven it was amazing. u really missed out if u didnt' go see it this weekend. i met kendras mom shes awesome also. afterwards i went and caught a band play at a coffee house at castlewoods church. it was aight. and i eventually made it home later that night.
saturday was derricks b-day - that day i saw larry, hung out with jimmy, saw a friend from oxford who supposedly has been in love with me for that past two years , well that just freaked me out. and i went and saw dance on impulse again- wonderful , went to hal and mals and got to go on the roof and see the apartment above it and oh yes i got to ride in the elevator that is off limits for everyone else. hehehe hahaha. after all that jazz i went with all the fellaz and we took derrick to finians for his b-day it was an all right night.
the next night we threw him a suprise b-day party he loved it and i kept my deal and smoked a cigarette with him. yus i did ! dont' worry it was only once and i did not enhale. so yeah i lived obviously (i'm allergic to smoke if u didn't know) .
so that was my busy weekend. so much done and very little accomplished . i forgot i had a quiz in educational psychology monday night but i think i did well. so yay.
now i have to go back to working.......
Another Hollie entry
Tonight i talked to my crush for a long time, just getting to know each other more. I found out that he is getting through a tough breakup, so i will back off a little. Well, its not like i have been forward. We were asking questions back and forth and letting each other vent fustrations about things. It felt good to have someone i can talk to like that here in Mass. He would say things like "why are you so great" , I wish he were saying those things because he liked me. Maybe it could happen one day. All in all i feel so much closer to him and hopefully vice versa and maybe even more convos like this one. Tommorrow i will watch him play wiffle ball, i get to be the umpire cuz of my ankle. I hope i dont think about him the whole time during acoustics. Its 2:00 am i should go to bed now kiddos. Love, Hollie

so i'm cleaning right now ..... and well i believe mop and glow just might be crazy glue - all u have to do is add water ..cause i just got stuck to the floor for a good few minutes, took me a while to get my feet unstuck . i'll update everyone tomorrow on the festivaties that made up this weekend. damn it i forgot to draw in my sketchbook........ looks like i've got something new to do besides cleaning (which is horrid- i feel dirty after cleaning not clean )

Here is hollie's first update in emmi's college nomad. Right now i should be doing the corrections on my acoustics midterm that i have been putting off for , well, forever. its getting close to finals now, and i have a sprained ankle which makes it harder to concentrate and hard commute to school. Ready kids? lets make a hollie's to do list: 1. Do my Acoustics paper 2. Finish Acoustics Midterm corrections 3. Finish Audio Final and Paper before its time to turn it in. 4. Tell the nicest boy in the world that i have a crush on him and then being prepared cuz chances are he doesnt like me back. I should probably do 1 , 2 , and 3 first.
I couldnt get my tattoos filled in last night because my toes were swollen :( but i got to be Jason's assistant while did the other's tattoos.
well i must get back to my wonderful acoustics work:) Love, hollie
p.s. a suggestion for the ataris show.. get htere really really really early cuz the all ages shows at the shim sham are hell to go through cuz its so crowded.. but most of the time its easy to get in the front.

Friday, April 11, 2003

my hair is no longer blonde and red ....it's burgondy.... man ... i acutually really like it .. it's really fun and starteling (sp?)at first but well its' great. everyone has seemed to have a great response to it. I suprised everyone at buffalo wild wings last night ... which we might start going there every thursday now .. i got derrick and jason hooked on that game you play there. derrick leaves for his tennis matches today and will return on his birthday tomorrow.. we're going to try to throw him a b-day party but he might not get back till one so this will be interesting. Tonight at belhaven - dance on impulse if u live in the jackson area you should go ... it will be amazing as usual. oh yeah derrick did well in doubles yesterday and lost in singles ( we won the match yesterday against milldaddy (millsaps) ).

Thursday, April 10, 2003

went to the steam room last night with everyone...as usual interesting and enjoyable. i've gotta go see derrick play in a tennis match again today ... hope he does better and wins this time...he's really gun ho on me seeing him play in singles , he doesn't believe he does well in doubles - more chances of loosing cause u have to play with someone else - he doesn't like doubles either. anyways that should be fun. i'm also going thrift store shopping today with kirsten and we might dye my hair burgondy???? i'm really not to sure.
they're trying to get me out of my lil funk i'm in. man... or well actually MERNT!.
speech class is tonight ...woohoo and stuff , looking forward to it as usual i hope we get to do some sort of exercise wehre i get to throw things at the teacher and students when they mess up (yes we have actually done this before , but i missed it cause i went to see COPELAND, WATASHI WA, and my boys FLETCHER- it was worth it )

hmm... burgondy. this will be interesting if it happens.

Wednesday, April 09, 2003

okie so a monsoon came to jackson and flooded my office and i haven't been able to post till now...i sitll can't run my computer. it was underwater so we're letting the little bugger dry out. i need a break .... school is just well ugh and everything else is blah. i'm thinking the ataris show will be my release. thank goodness i finally get to see them.
i'm starving and i'm tired... and i have alot of work to do .... i want this week to be over and i want it to be friday so i can sleep in the next day....in the words of kendra"please jesus i need you to come back"
i need to see a little bit of glory .....but i can wait ...maybe a little cheer of happiness would help.
anyways back to the disaster that is my office.....mud is everywhere... i had standing water in my office ... total water damage recieved :7 inches of water. wow.... and it stinks in here....rank very rank. when we arrived monday at the office there was a floating dumpster in our parking lot... wow.
big lit exam tonight.... i hope i do well .. if i make an a , i'll have an a in the class..... that would be oh so nice.

Friday, April 04, 2003

Just had a nice chat will hollie...i've been told i have to be nicer in critiques (even though she went over 19 MINUTES!!!!!) and i can't write down anything mean anymore and if i do it has to be in my book or i'm grounded. =(
oh well.....the next speech we are going to do is persuasion... i'm debating for coed dorms ... the rest of my team is going down!!!!! this is going to be fun.
**So the kiwi looks nice and i hope someone will wanna buy it cause that would rock my face off. Remember Saturday is the student show at belhaven and you should go. Another thing to check out at Belhaven is A Midsummers nights dream, which they are doing out by the fountain tonight and tomorrow night so you should go before it gets rained out....poor dears they are doing an outside play and it's suppose to rain all weekend. i hope it doesn't because they've worked really hard, anyways nuff said -just go.****


I didn't have to go to class till 6 yesterday -which isn't too bad and it is one of my favorite classes - speech and public speaking.
well before class at dinner i sat down with amy (my teacher) and we chatted bout the legislature and how horrible they are and never get anything accomplished- (if you get the chance and have nothing to do one day go sit in on a session , it's quite amazing how they dont' get anything accomplished) and we chatted about the "voter id"-(which isn't it's real name) bill-which i wish the house and senate would just come to an agreement - we eventually got on the topic of our informative speeches that we did a while back- and she noted that i had the shortest time but i still went over 50 secs(i was happy) but unfortunately she wasn't able to give me a complete grade on our critiques of other people because i happened to rail someone in their critique.On my paper i wrote "i know hate your topic and missions because of you"(she was speaking on the topic of missions- it was awfull. she had a million main points . we were only suppose to have 3 mian ones will she had 5 main points of three -if that makes sense- and it went on forever, i wanted to shoot myself it was almost as bad as the speech in educational psychology monday but i won't go into that now). Yes i know it's a little cruel but she went over 19 minutes!!!! i mean really it was suppose to be a 4-6 minute speech. i was pissed off so i took it out on her critique paper....yeah i'm a horrible person. anyways after we discussed that, we went to class for not even an hour . she let us out early (bless her heart) but we had to go hear some guy talk about his book and his screenplay writting. We all went and actually it wasn't bad at all , we all did a critique on his speech and i liked it very much. His last name is Inrea i believe. anyways he just recently wrote a book called Captain Sunday (which he is currently writing a screen play for and billy bob thorton wants to play the main character). Well he read some of the book to us in class and it was great. He has a very unique writing pattern and a great sense of humour. You should definatly check out this book , i know i'm goign ot eventually buy it when i have enough money and stop ebaying (horrible addiction but i think i have it conquered now).

Thursday, April 03, 2003

So one bad thing about going to a different college every semester/quarter (well so far and unintentionally) is that you really don't know people. I go to a very very small art school (resembles high school) and i don't know anybodies name in any of my classes - which is sad. I've resorted to calling everyone hey and i just hope they know i'm talkin to them. This plan failes in my literature class every time. I feel guilty naming people "HEY(u)" because they all know my name but i can't remeber there's for anything.
**i'm going to pick up my picture of a kiwi today for the student show this weekend. If you happen to live in jackson you should drop by the belhaven campus and go to the art department on sat.***

I finally got me without you's album...which according to Jimmy has been discontinued and tooth and nail are no longer putting it out....i was very upset when i found this out and had to hunt it down...i finally found it at lifeway...thanks joel. if you don't have this album you should try and get it. And also if you missed them in hattiesburg you should try to see them live somehow, yus they are no sigur ros but they were great.
Two other albums that you should look into getting are Copland's and Cool hand Luke's.
Okie so i decided to start up a blog...who knows if it was actually a good idea...but it will make it easier to keep in touch once i move....if i ever pass educational psychology...the class from hell.
