So I'm on this "conversion team" at Blockbuster, which means we travel from store to store in the Charlotte area changing the cover art in the movies. You know those blue boxes behind the cover art that have the movies in them? Well they're not there anymore. Every movie in the store now has the cover art on the actual movie. It's not hard to...

Dreamed last night that I was on SG and my parents got really mad, but then Venla popped in and told them that it was okay, and they listened to her. Talk about out of left field... Haven't really even looked at Venla's sets in a while. Maybe it's my subconscious telling me to add her to my favorite girls list. Fucking random...

And the reunion was.. surprisingly boring.
We've all changed a lot since we last saw each other. Last year's reunion was before any of us had gone off to college and changed too terribly much from when we were at Governor's School in the first place, summer 2003. But this year's alumni day was poorly populated by the 03'ers, densely packed by the 04 kids....

Getting up arse-early to go to my 2 year Governor's School Reunion. Should be one of the most surreal days of my life. First time I've seen the first girl I ever loved in quite a while. I'll give details/let you all know how it went after I get home. Wish me luck.

Did I mention that the new Foo Fighters is the absolute tits? Cause it is. Can't get enough of the acoustic disc.

In other news, This entire part of the state is either flooded or tornado-ravaged. Just lovely. It started last week when I went to see Alkaline Trio and we had to pull the car over to wait out a hailstorm. Flooding on Monday,...

And it has certainly been a few days since I updated, but I think I had a good excuse. I've been closing every nite at Blockbuster (excitement, excitement), and that generally puts me home around 2-2:30 in the morning. Then I get up early the next day for my other job, my unaid internship at a newspaper. I should probably sleep in the afternoons. But...

Wow. Alkaline Trio last nite. And wow. I had mixed feelings about the set list, because they played most of Crimson, most of Goddamnit, and not much from the albums in between.

The openers were Thieves Like Us, who sounded quite a bit like Tsunami Bomb with a less hot lead singer, and Rufio. Rufio is a fun pop-punk band that I had heard a...

News in brief:

-Got vaccinated for my upcoming trip to Honduras. Apparently, Tetanus shots make you unable to lift or feel that arm. We'll see how that plays out in the pit tomorrow nite at the Alkaline Trio show.

-Had a party. Watched Chasing Amy. It kills me to be able to relate to a Kevin Smith movie on this level.

-To clarify that last...

I think "falling apart" would be a good way to describe my life right now. Working at least two of my jobs every day, catching flak from everyone I know about things out of my control, unreliable friends, and the one person who is shaping up to be my constant thousands of miles away. I am mentally and physically exhausted. Tomorrow are my vaccinations for...

There was a time when we weren't afraid to die
or take an electric dive from a live wire rope swing
into the freezing liquid summer of the quarry lagoon,
firefly nights barricaded by blue slate waterfalls a thousand
feet high, skipping like a stone
faster than the speed of sound
to the floor of the ice-flecked cove
where no hero would...
