mommy's alright, daddy's alright; they just seem a little weird. that song is stuck in my head. actually, it's not that song per se, but the less than jake cover of that song which is at the end of anthem. that album may actually be my favorite, but i dunno. hello rockview is just such a classic, and i don't dislike a single song on it, which is part of my criteria for records. man, i remember those. records. when people actually made albums containing approximately 12-15 songs that were arranged in pleasant orders to form a cohesive whole. those were the good old days.

also, am i really saying this? it's true. that's the worst part.

it does bother me that bands don't really make albums anymore. granted, i understand why that's the case, and i realize that a lot of bands that are worth listening to still do make albums... i just wish that it were the 'main thing' again. it could be, i could be totally wrong and just looking at pop music in general as opposed to music in general, which is probably closer to accurate. yeah. today i worked an opening shift, and it was incredibly dull. tomorrow i work another one, but i'm working with becky, which means it should be entertaining at least. we always find ways to make the best out of a slow day.

after work, i headed to the u.p.s. store to get something [which shall remain nameless] notarized. it wasn't until i actually got to the place and reached down to grab the papers that i noticed they had been destroyed by a drunken matron of honor [who shall remain nameless] on saturday. so i had to rush to kinko's, print it out again, rush back to u.p.s., get it notarized, then rush back to kinko's again to scan it. lesson learned: i really need a printer. the worst part about it is: when i finally got it scanned and e-mailed to someone [who shall remain nameless], it turns out their e-mail service decided it would be a cool idea to return those e-mails. twice.

if i were an ignorant trend-follower, i'd be saying 'fml' at this point.

however, all is not lost. i'm going to call the dude tomorrow, assuming busy executive types actually answer their phones, and hopefully i can get the whole thing taken care of. i don't like relying on outdated technology like faxes, but it looks like that may be the only way. hope not. maybe dude has a gmail i can use. silly e-mail servers. anyway, i got home and fixed some shell pasta with garlic alfredo sauce, which was delicious. helped christin finish her paper for english and finished my final paper for this class. another one down. two more left. i've got the worst case of senioritis right now. goodnight.
