Because you care, deep down.

Update: I ended up saving the sandwich for lunch: best decision of my life.

War Bill Simmons, war Emery, war being really lazy for once this summer.

i like music

Album of the week: One Fell Swoop by the Spill Canvas

Song of the week: Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl by Broken Social Scene

Line of the week:
And here I rest: where disapointment and regret collide,
lying awake at night
Props if you can name the song (most of you should be able to).

FU SPU

So I went down to Seattle today to register for classes and stuff like that. Got me really pumped for September, but I'm kinda bummed that its still two months away. The trip, however, did remind me one of the major benefits to SPU - the 3-2 girls-to-guys ratio. And the talent pool is deep, my friend, the talent pool is VERY deep. So it was definetly sweet to meet people, make friends, and all that social jazz which I'm super pumped for. Definetly super looking forward to some sweet times.

As far as classes go, I'm currently registered for a U-Seminar on contemporary contreversies in ethics which explores moral issues such as gay rights, abortion, death penalty and the like. Gonna be some good times, but I'll prolly make a few enemies as a result of my super passionate, competetive debate style (Sorry again tamlin for scaring you at salt spring island). Anyways, thanks to a decisive game of rock, paper, scissors with the ever so lovely Tarra, I also have General Psych, which I might drop for something else, seeing as its an 8 AM class, and Foundations of Social Services which is a 2000-level class. I'm on the waiting list for both a Chritianity and American Politics class and a Intro to Sociology class, which if I get into I'll prolly drop Psych.

Anyways, to clear it up, my schedule looks like this:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday:
8 - 9:20: General Psych
9:30 - 10:50: USem

Tuesday, Thursday:
10:30 - 12:50: Foundations of Social Services

So it'll be nice having free afternoons and evenings. I was hoping to get into the Christianity and American Politics, which would've given me classes only on Monday, Wednesday, Friday mornings, leaving me with a day and half between any classes. But I'm happy with this schedule too.

Stay classy,
David

P.S. Anyone want to decide my major? Future career? Whether to save my sandwich for lunch tomorrow or eat it later tonight? Please?

Favorite albums mid-2005

Alright, not a lot of crazy stuff happening, just good times with good buddies. Some issues with the people that had sex to make me, but hey, who doesn't have issues with them? Anyways, 2005 is more than half way through, so I'd figure I'd make a best of list for so far this year:
Top Ten Albums:

10. Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn
9. Circa Survive - Juturna
8 Acceptance - Phantoms
7. Iron and Wine - Woman King
6.Copeland - In Motion
5. Sherwood - Sing, But Keep Going
4. The Rocket Summer - Hello, Good Friend
3. Mae - The Everglow
2. Armor For Sleep - What to Do When You Are Dead
1. Stars - Set Yourself on Fire

Honorable Mentions:
Bright Eyes - Wide Awake, It's Mourning
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
The Starting Line - Based on a True Story
Fall Out Boy - From Under Cork Tree

Safe to say it's been a fantastic half year for music, and it's only gonna get better: Death Cab, Coheed and Cambria, Broken Social Scene, possibly Brand New, and Emery all looking to release albums, among others. This is a good thing.

Favorite movies:
They all suck. Hollywood sucks. No more freaking remakes, no more freaking sequels, no more freaking formulaic, cliché, feel good stories. All these things happen, maybe I'll start watching new movies. Until then, I missed a decade of fantastic movies because I was in elementary school, so I'm happy exploring those.

Some movies off the top of my head I really want to see but haven't yet:
Pi
Mangolia
Resevoir Dogs
Lost in Translation
Sideways
The Motorcycle Diaries
Good Will Hunting


Fo'sho'.
