sooooo
we're not having school, tomorrow, right? cause i haven't done any homework. great. it's annoying how the Simpsons weren't on tonight.
sooo friday i went with taylor to Brdwy. Caf. where i saw nick & allegra & jessica and stuff. and then we went to the Tivoli with dave where I saw margaret!
and we proceded to watch In America, which was so freaking good. sheesus! i don't know what else to say. it was just really good and I don't remember the last time I cried that much at a movie. and saturday ryan gave me some gum and let me take his picture in exchange for a sandwich and chips and such.
soooo um. this weekend i found some real pleasure in practicing mes instruments. i'm playing Rachmaninov's Prelude in C# Minor, which if you haven't heard, I recommend it, because it's one of the most powerful pieces i've ever heard and I'm very luck to be able to play it. I think i can actually play the whole thing now, the trick is actually PLAYING it, you know? i dont' think i can describe this without sounding cheesy ("i must put emotion into it!") but you know what i mean. i gotta make it work. make it more than dots & lines. and memorize it. sheeeit. and you have no idea how big the chords are. i swear to god i burn fucking calories playing that piece.
so i guess that music (canadian?) channel Fuse has a new "indie" program called The Dive and i was watching it (speaking of Canadian television, I just love the shit they play on Noggin. it's my biggest guilty pleasure since John Mayer. you know what will never be my guilty pleasure? Diet root beer. cause that stuff is nasty. speaking of Noggin and Fuse, we got those fancy cable channels and HBO for a year for free or something...but i think the year is up? i don't know why we're still getting it. maybe i'll look into it.....yeah I'll look into when sex in the city finishes thanks) ANYWAY there was a video by this band called Motion City Soundtrack, and i saw it twice actually, and the song was only slightly better than generic, but still nothing that great but truly truly TRULY it was upbeat and if you don't know that that's all i care about with music well you do now and i would just hate it if that was the best they've got and the rest of their songs were veritable crap but i mean the lead singer wears glasses and has sideburns and frankly that's all i care about because I am that shallow (shhhh) but the point is that there was one line in their song that i think was worth something and it went...
i’d rather waste our time together
cause we can get down
and i just like that thanks.
CONGRATULATIONS SAMUEL
