if you wanna live

So I was hoping I could just open up Semagic and have the contents of last week's itenerary already pasted into the textbox, hit "Post entry" and be done. Sadly, actual creative thought, typing, and spell-checking will have to be done. Pity, as I am feeling quite lazy tonight.

Let's see what I can remember. 24 was back on the air on Tuesday, which was cool because it's a fun show and they made up for the 4-week absence with the season's best episode. It's a lot more fun going out to see it now that I don't have to rush home as soon as the show ends too.

Classes started for me on Wednesday, and have been pretty uneventful since. Teachers have dived (dove?) right into lecture material, and I've already got a couple assignments due, but really I don't feel a lot of pressure yet, which is good because I'm relaxed, and bad because I know it won't keep up. That and if I'm relaxed, I tend not to get work done as fast. It'll pass, I'm sure. By week 3 things look plenty crazy.

Last night Graham took me to the GAF church show with a bunch of bands including Axes of Evil and USS Horsewhip, and as he said, it was more than just a show. They had the bands arranged with one in each corner of the room, fully set up. They had 2 systems for vocals, one for each half of the room, and otherwise every band's gear was seperate and all running at once. Each band would play a song, then everyone would rotate left and the next band would play. Since was really no "opener" metaphor, they played 2 different sets, unfortunately we arrived at "halftime" and missed the first one. Anyway it worked really really well, all the bands were awesome and brought the rock in their own way. The best part about it came at the end, when all 4 bands jammed together on "Louie, Louie" in an orgitastic blast of rock the likes of which I've never seen.

We then retired to the Lob-mansion, where we watched The Prophecy 3, which was surprisingly good, and Graham gave Jake shit about playing too much UT2004. I can't decide which person to side with here. Making a gamer out of Jake would warm my heart, but it would probably make Graham very unhappy to lose his roomate-buddy to games. I think I'll stay out of it best I can and let them sort it out...

Tonight I have an office kegger around 10pm, it'll have hot azn chicks, special ed teachers, lots of co-worker drama, and booze. I have no idea what I'm getting into, really.

Oh, also I have a laptop now, an Armada M700. I feel pretty rich, or blessed, or something, I can't decide. It's pretty heavy but it's fast enough (800MHz P3, 256MB) and has a good screen. It makes in-class time very different.

chatlog time!

I still have no idea where he lives. He gave me the address but his responses make no sense whatsoever if you look at the map.
