fail with consequence, lose with eloquence. and smile

short hiatus due to midterms. how midterms are situated 1/3rd of the way through the quarter is baffling. destroys the meaning of MIDterm in my opinion but whatevs.

chem midterm was the stupidest thing i've ever taken in my life. it was basically a "have you read my ohsowonderfullyandgloriouslyintelligentbuthorriblyexpensecausenoonebuysit book??" test (sorry got carried away). and no, the book my prof wrote is not a chemistry textbook...but the stupid history of the fugging periodic table. who. cares.

also i've been much more antisocial, and sadly, i realize that i still don't really care. anyways. finally got me packages from bestbuy and am very content at them moment.

well. because my roomie and i have such good work ethics and all...we somehow found time admist all our stress to:
1. extend my desk (omgz so big nowfdkalf)
2. find a v. large crevice behind my closet via underneath my desk
3. take turns exploring said crevice
4. play frisbee in the hallway...destroying everything in our path as well
5. play more frisbee in our room...destroying yet more stuffs
6. go to battle of the bands 6hoursdoodfdafkrlejfndakfe

battle of the bands last wed was pretty awesome i must say...even if the genre of music was not my favorite (of course, since most battle of the bands include primarily alt. punk (tight girl pants, cursing, black allstar shoes and all)...makes for more exciting shows if you know what i mean).

the battling bands were mayday! mayday!, never heard of it, and westview. a heartwell ending also performed but didn't compete. and of course, to actually make people show up, the special guests of the night were sugarcult.

only initially knew of never heard of it and sugarcult so it was interesting. didn't really matter in the end cause there was so much "ear fucking" as neverheardofit deemed it, that my sense of tone went numb. i knew it was a bad idea to forget earplugs.

my roomies and i were right in the front so there was a lot of pushing and shoving. also the bands had this weird obsession with spitting all their water and shaking the sweat from their heads at us. they also loved jumping onto the crowd which made people insane (no, none of them were dropped if that's what you're thinking).

also the guy from never heard of it was totally high cause he kept leaning dangerously far off the stage so much that we'd have to push him back so that he wouldn't fall off. also one time he did stumble off, and i had the pleasure to have his whole sweaty back plastered against me. his butt crack was also very pleasant indeed btw. ew.

one of the biggest disadvantages of being right in front of the stage is that when the band throws their used shit at you (guitar picks, drum sticks), usually it makes it all the way out into the middle of the crowd leaving you hopelessly emptyhanded. for some peeps that stuff isn't as awesome as having the main singer's face literally in yours as he bends over and screams into the mic, sweat dripping straight from the ends of his greasy hair into your open mouth...but every one has their own preferences.

unfortunately, we didn't manage to snatch a drumstickfjdakfld. but i did throw my roomie onto the stage to get a fallen pick from sugarcult. and then right after, i searched the floor and found another really sweet pick that actually said sugarcult on it. also on it was the chinese character for "love" underneath and an engraved autograph of one of the band members on the back.

anyways. it was all good. best part in my opinion wasn't the hour long performance by sugarcult or the free stuff...but the little performances by our own students in between the acts. scattertones (a cappella) was very amusing, and the winner of last year's big talent show, a little band called mikey g and dan from danville, was definitely my favorite. i loved the guy who played the drums...using a box with a hole in it. so many different sounds from a few slabs of wood :D

so after the earfucking my ears were muffled for the rest of the night and the ringing didn't stop until a day later...which killed my soul because i usually take extra precautions to protect my ears... for the love of (ironically,)muzic. seriously. i wouldn't be able to imagine my life without muzic. ever. people who listen to their ipods with the volume on max are crazy. o_0

oh. and don't ever be a fanatic groupe. they're annoying as hell. i swear i was going to turn around and punch that idiot who kept shoving me into the stage if she wailed into my ear just one more time.


also saw being john malkovich and borat yesterday. being john malkovich is a very interestingly bizarre movie that raises many questions about life and how we value it, etc. i recommend it very much so.

borat is a totally different genre. to watch it, you are required not to take yourself or others around you too seriously. and in a way, i do like it for that. it's also awesome that most of the scenes weren't setup (amazing how much some people will reveal to a guy dressed up as an ignorant foreigner) and its fusion of documentary with contemporary movie making. if nothing else, you gotta at least give it a little credit for being so damn offensive to pretty much the whole world through its mockery of all things prejudiced...as well as the extensive improvisation the guy did for the movie. o_0 supposedly it's hurt and used many peeps in the process of its making but. who said life was fair. probably won't ever watch it again though heh.

i wrote this while listening to music. because i suck at multitasking in all contexts of the word, this entry probably sucks like no other. i apologize to your eyes.
