so in the continuing story of actresses i have some level of infatuation with putting out musical albums, scarlett johansson is releasing a cd may 20th. it's an 11 song albums, only one of which is an original... the other ten are tom waits covers. thus far i've only heard "falling down" and it sounds pretty damn good. i must now wait in

i think i just bought a motorcycle. a 1970 triumph mild chopper. it's really really black. somebody seriously needs to start buying cars off of me so i can afford this shit.

this motherfucker right here just got accepted to college... again. just got the letter this morning (it technically came yesterday, but i couldn't exactly get to it until after i'd finished working my 14½ hour shift). if i don't end up getting into the trade union i may or may not apply for in june then i'm definitely going to lawrence tech. in ( Read more... )
