Ugh! It's Snowing Again!!!

That's right folks. After two straight days of dreary rain, we now have more snow! Gotta love Wisconsin. Probably the most amusing part of it all would be when my manager (Theresa), yelled out, "Why do we live here???". Yeah. I personally like the snow... in winter... I can't take anymore snow and cold weather. It's too late in the season! I've got filming projects I need done! (Stay tuned for those!) So yeah, the weather has got me pretty bummed out. Also, the knowledge of having work tonight, tomorrow, Tuesday (off Wed. and Thurs. (Thank God)) and Friday, has already told me that I will be dead by next weekend.

For now though, I'm still moving. Plans for Friday night got fucked up (which angered me greatly), and then yesterday was almost solely devoted to homework (Which btw, I still haven't finished). I've still got art and a little bit of English to do. I did however listen to like 4 new [to me] cds last night.
1. "All Hope is Gone"- Slipknot
2. "Like Blood Like Honey"- Holly Brook
3. "When the World Comes Down"- All American Rejects
4. "The Airborne Toxic Event"- The Airborne Toxic Event
5. "Platypus"- The Flobots
All were good, just in very, very different ways. "All Hope is Gone" was exactly what I needed it to be. Slipknot delivered a perfect sequel to Vol. 3. No more of their mindless raging metal with no heart. Although this album was clearly 'harder' than their last, they could still slow it down with melodic anthems such as "Snuff" (one of my now favorite songs ever made ever...). I also was pleasantly surprised when I sound techno-like sounds peeking up here and there. "Like Blood Like Honey" is Holly Brook's first studio album and displays high skill for a freshman release. For those of you who don't know who the Hell this is, she was the one singing back-up vocals in Fort Minor's "Where'd you go". Although, she herself brings no new genre to the forefront, but she employs enough craft in what she does do to give off a strong sound. Plus. it probably doesn't hurt that she's a pianist and I have a sexual/love attraction to pianos. Oh, and she's hot. Soooooooo, check that out and support the 'unknowns'. Next we've got All-American's newest. Now, I've never listened to their first cd, so I've really got nothing to compare it to (except for their WAY overplayed singles from their previous cd). You know, i liked it more than I thought i would. They mixed a lot of different sounds in various ways through out. However, they still seemed to stay in their comfort zone, and never stretched TOO far out the box. I also must saw their vocalist bothers me after extended listening... but I was fine for one straight run through. Next up on my list is a new band The Airborne Toxic event and their self-titled. They're a pretty fun band (especially when you watch their videos and their riding in things like boats and vans singing). They send off a very slow alternative sound reminiscent of bands such as Snow Patrol. Although they never push the overall feel of their music too much, they do experiment with a lot of different instruments. I also find the band themselves pretty funny: 1 smaller clearly indie singer, one 'individual' looking chick, and Asian guy, and a guy with ballin' facial hair, and another guy... lol. And for the last (but not least) cd on my little list here: "Platypus" by The Flobots. It's their first release before the well known "Fight With Tools". There's not that many tracks (only 7 I believe), but it's the Flobots... C'mon...C'mon.

And know I must bid you all farewell for alas, work is over, and I can truck my ass through slush and snow home. Where I will inevitably try and finish more homework.

It Is Groundhog's Day!

First, let me begin by telling you to go here, and watch the coolest collection of Groundhog Day Trailers EVER!!!

Okay, well, happy Groundhog's day. Now personally, I never saw much of a reason for this holiday. Now I know, it's because... well... there is no reason for this holiday... But it is one of those few holidays we sorta just have for fun (thus more or less causing a 'purpose' for it). But, I see no reason for it because I live in Wisconsin... It's winter here 9 months out of the year... Seriously. So, whatever that little rat wants to do today is up to him, see his shadow, don't see his shadow... it's all the same.

Moving on. K. Got off work last night and went home to eat. I ate and tried to catch the last few minutes of the super bowl. Wow... that game was crazy. I must say, I was "rooting" for the Cardinals. I mean, I really didn't care what team won either way, but I knew the Steelers were going to win, so why not cheer on the little guy? I also got to catch the Hulu commercial being aired. That one was actually pretty good. Once that was over, I ran as fast as I could out of the room before the post-game shit happened. Anywho, I popped in HIMYM season 3, and just putzed around on the computer for a while before finally just saying 'screw it' and going to bed.

This morning I woke up at 6:30, and got dressed, ate, packed my lunch, and went back to bed. I ended up just laying down for about 15 or so minutes. Then I got back up, grabbed my phone ect., and headed out. It took me awhile to get across the street to the bus stop (the traffic was a bitch. I hate traffic!). I just got to the bus stop when the bus came. Beau was at the next stop. We talked for a bit and wondered why we were the only ones on the bus at 7:35. Once we got to the union, we went to the computer lab and did our normal crap... Aubin wasn't anywhere, so I just blew time until 8:45, then left for class. My arch theory class was pretty interesting ("Geometry is a cult. No, not like cult like witches and shit" - My professor), and yet it's still kinda boring. Maddie text my sometime during class, and I laughed at her schedule (she has english at 8 every morning!!!), and then won our argument by bringing up the fact that I'm working, and effectively paying for school myself. Ownd... But yeah, class ended and I headed back to the union. I ate lunch, then pulled out my laptop for a little bit. My battery was almost dead, so I just came over to the lab and are using one of their computers now (It's easier than hunting down an outlet). I watched all of the superbowl commercials form last night on Hulu while writing my English essay. Once I was finished all that I went on over to youtube to find some music while I worte this. I tried looking for "Where'd You Go?" by Fort Minor, however... all of their videos were taken off... But, I did however find out that Linkin Park recorded a song/video with Busta Rhymes (Watch it NOW. Kiwi it's a little over 4 minutes long). I also found a "remix" of "Where'd You Go" where some guy recorded his own lyrics for the song, and it actually sounded really good (Okay, if you ignore all of my other random videos I've linked to, please check this one out! Support the unkown artists! PLZ?). Yep. I've got about another hour before my English class starts, so I'm just gonna sit around for a while and waste time... Damn. I really don't want to go to this class...
