wow.. just wow..

pet peeve 1

i HATE it when you're looking for the words to some amazing indie song that you're too lazy to actually listen to, and there aren't any!! all the websites just say "lyrics to ___ aren't available. would you like to submit them?" no motherfucker! that's what you're there for.

that's how i feel right now regarding leeora by the sea and cake and you're the kind of girl by mixel pixel.

p.s.
i might start a blog in which i post lyrics i search for. for personal use of course. just thought you'd like to know.

"i'm sorry, i have a previous engagement"

i have recently been informed that zooey deschanel (actress and 1/2 of she & him) and ben gibbard (death cab for cutie and the postal service) are... engaged!! does this make any sense to you? zooey is beautiful and an amazing singer and just all around amazing, and gibbard is a fairly annoying singer, often fat and unattractive, and an okay lyricist. alright, there's one picture where they look cute together, but still. oh well. if their happy, i have no complaints. except wtf?!

holiday season

i'm not a big fan of the holiday season. it's an excuse for family, that i don't really like, to have dinner with you, ask nosy questions about school and boys, and stuff you full of food. and the annoying christmas carols (that you sadly know all the words to) playing in the background puts the finishing touch on the dreadful winter season.
i also hate christmas break. true, you can call up friends and make plans to hang out for a day, and you really don't need to do anything for two weeks, but i prefer school because no matter what, you are guaranteed to see your friends, you can easily hang out after school, and it's easier to stalk guys you like.
the third reason i dislike the holiday season so, is there are NO CONCERTS!! all the bands go home for the holidays, so us fans are left all alone listening to recorded versions of our favorite songs. if bands didn't take off the two weeks from touring, guess how many wonderful shows we would get to see. gr..
well so far it looks like the holiday season is here to stay, so i will brave it out and count down the days until we get to go back to school.

desktop drum set

i was browsing christmahannukwanzikah gifts and i happened across just about the coolest thing i have ever seen. finger drums! you just put them on your desk and you play the drum set--with your fingers! battery-operated with 5 different drums (including snare and cymbal) and all-around amazing. there's a certain someone who came to mind immediately. 10 points if you can guess who. also, if anyone wants to get it for me, feel free :P

nightmare

last night i had the scariest dream. the dream itself was pretty scary, something about my dad owing someone money and them threatening to kill my family and a lot of other people, my dad seeing the future (the family getting blown to pieces), and trying to run away from the scary guys. the fact that it ended with me FEELING THE BULLET GO THROUGH MY HEAD caused me to wake up shaking. it was the oddest sensation. at the time, i was protecting my little sister in the back room of a store, and a very ugly woman coming and holding a gun to my head. as i feel the gun pressed against my forehead, my phone rings from my mother. i ask the ugly woman with a gun if i could answer it and say goodbye and she immediately replies, "no," and blows off my head. i felt the bullet going through my head, and coming out the other side, and then i woke up, grabbed my computer and wrote this. just about the weirdest/scariest/HOLY-SHIT-I-JUST-GOT-SHOT dream i've ever had.

hannukah

also known as hanukkah, chanukah, or ch-an-oo-kuh, as my friends would call it; a holiday celebrated by jews and faux jews (of which i am proud to be) where one lights candles and gets presents everyday for eight days. last night was the first night of hannukah, and my family was fairly unprepared (we had no menorah), so the shamash was a soy candle from whole foods, and our other candle was forced to stand up on the lid of the soy candle. DIY hannukah. as far as presents go, my sister and i received the same thing, a $25 ebay gift card. i'm debating whether or not to buy a casiotone keyboard from the eighties or save up for a guitar. you should voice your opinion.
oh well.
happy hannukah to all, and to all a good first night.

The Chanukah Song-Adam Sandler

swollen members-12/20/08

bodies rubbing against each other. everything smells of sweat, marijuana, body odor, and beer. no one has a sense of direction; falling upon each other, pushing and straining for air. the bass from the speakers vibrate your pant legs. the artists' words are inaudible, sounding like a drunk slurring his words together. crowd-surfing audience-members occasionally pass over your head and you reach up to help pass them along. during the encore, a circle of tipping over hipsters and gangsters formed in the middle, as i grabbed onto a pole for security. as the turmoil occurred, swollen members never took a breath from their free-styling ways, and continued to watch the stupidity and pandemonium caused by the crowd below them.

in one word the concert was
magical.
