more of a silver lining now...

Oh Czonia, you've really gone and done it this time, haven't you? Now, looking at things, with the light playing off the seaweed and all that, everything looks better. I was finally able to find gas today, so I made it to school and took my test, which ended up being open book and I think I did really well. Hooray! And now you've given me something to give a great deal of thought...which could be bad, since I should of course give school my undivided attention. But if I know myself (and I think I do), I'll be finding ways to distract myself from that regardless. I'd be lying if I tried to blame my lack of focus on you. I'm excited about your song choices. I agree with them. And in the next episode, I shall be adding some selections of my own...tune in next time.

What a stupid planet this is.

in an effort to make the world a better place and make my beloved butters a happier camper (without actually killing any proffessorial or coupled fellow campers), i here forward the following memo that i don't think was meant to land on my desk.

Internal Memorandum

To: the other As-yet Untitled Department (the Department which up until recently said "Nee!")

From: A random Commission concerned with Pathogens from the Forestry Department (the Department that only ineffectually said "Nee!" once at a party and didn't do it properly)

RE: the first twenty-four hours of W.E.E.D.

So presuming (‘cause we’re presumers) that you get two or three songs every ten minutes, and some are longer so let’s say a dozen an hour (144 songs), and that at least one tenth of our time needs to be spent on other business (so 130), less a few hours of special programming, we’ll need around 100 songs for opening day’s operations. We in the Forestry Department propose (‘cause we’re proposers) to pick 50, have your Department pick 50, and then haggle (‘cause we’re hagglers). Because it seems like it will be more fun that way, we further propose that we do this back and forth in five song increments, so each department gets 10 posts. Obviously we won’t be proposing them in any order – although we imagine that things will get kind of sticky near the end. Presuming our proposal will be picked by your people, we hereby proceed.

We suggest Sister Morphine (Stones); Hymn 43 (Tull); Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed (Bowie); Sunday Morning Coming Down (Cash); and Search and Destroy (Stooges).

Signed with devotion to the Great Cause,
Alistair Green,
Flunkie, W.E.E.D Department of Forestry Contagion Commission

i hope this helps. in case it does not, for the love of god kill something. but i want to watch. if it's a couple, i want to help. if it's an edible couple, i want to take you out to dinner after. and if this is still not making things better, i shall now further fail by throwing another bad cartoon at you.

current shitlist

Rather than bitching endlessly, I'm going to make a very concise list of things that are angering and/or aggravating me at the moment. Enjoy.

• Gas, or lack thereof, or the need for it in the first place.
• Couples. Ok ok, there are exceptions, I just hate the whole concept right now.
• School. Especially my intro to business class, which has met a total of two times, even though classes have been in session six weeks. Normally I would consider this a good thing, but he still expects us to know all the material and be able to be tested on it extensively...including a chapter that isn't even in our textbooks. What?
• Did I mention school?
• I'm being eaten alive by bugs I can't see. Just don't ask.
• I need money.

I swear I'll try to stop being so negative. I'm just not very good at being a glass-half-full kind of person. Unless, of course, the glass is empty to begin with and then you put liquid in it. I would have to concede at that point that the glass is half full. I hope it's beer.

... and then the silliness began ...

no really though, i think it does smell like updog in here

So, I finally decided to sit down and try to do this whole "blogging" thing. I apologize in advance to anyone who does happen to come across this, I can't guarantee that I will be worth reading. Generally the only sort of blog posts I make are lyrics to songs I think are worth checking out. I might do some of that here as well, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum. I am kind of a music snob and I might occasionally get on a soap box about all that. I'm also prone to obsessing over Kurt Vonnegut, and books in general really. Who knows, I'm not quite sure what direction I want this blog to take. My attention is waning for now. I'll try again later.
Until next time...

What's Updog?

nietzche talked about the advantages of having a bad memory. he said people with bad memories get to enjoy several times the same good things for the first time. i have a terrible memory, and i do seem to enjoy some pretty repetitious shit. like the sound of my own mental voice. man, if i was told i could sit in front of a computer and just write down all my thoughts for a living i'd be happy as a cat in a mouse factory. do they have mouse factories? they should. anyway, i could do this all the time, is what i'm getting at. and since butters here seems to think she can enjoy willingly reading and writing with me, we have designed to produce this blog. if you have come upon this writing by accident, then you should probably go. i'm not sure, but i'm pretty sure i heard a funky ball of tits from outer space around here a minute ago ...
