Today I have been surviving on coffee

Ahh, you proved my theory correct.

I went to the Passport Office on TUESDAY. At 8:30am. I was done by 1:00pm. So I waited the same amount of time as you (and the people who go there early), but I got more sleep. =D I think it helped that I did my application online. After I got inside, I waited like 5-10 minutes and then they processed my form... and that took like 5 minutes.

[jamiesona]

Damn... I'm not sure if that would have worked yesterday though. The line was around the building and down the block.

When I applied for my passport, I filled out some form doorah I got online. After they handed me a number, it was the next one called up. I got to pass like 80 people in line. That was 2006 though.

Did you score that goal? You know the one.

[jamiesona]

Yeah, I wish I had done mine online. Although the people that were in front of me (#26) did there's online and they only finished maybe 5 minutes faster that I did. I think early in the morning it probably doesn't matter as much.

And yes, I scored that goal. Thanks for bringing it up, Andrew.

[jamiesona]

Oh, and that was a nice hit, by the way.

Sorry re: bringing it up. Just curious.

For the record, Thomas skated into me.

Also, in the first period, I was skating back chasing 92. Anyways, I was right on his tail. I was looking at the guy carrying the puck (who was not no. 92), and 92 stopped on a dime right after crossing the blue line. I wasn't paying attention, and I skated into him at full tilt. That caught me off guard.

Nice. Congrats. I'm working on Sunday. What time's the game at?

Btw, Sum 41 single. Opinions?

[jamiesona]

It starts at 3:45pm.

As for "Underclass Hero", it's alright. It's catchy, and sounds kind of like a cross between something off of All Killer No Filler and something from Does This Look Infected? But at the same time, it seems like a really 'safe' song, in that it's just so poppy that it's a guaranteed radio hit. And in a way it kind of feels like a step backward for them. They really progressed on Chuck, and I feel they took the music in a whole new direction, which made it interesting and current. This song feels like they're trying to relive their old style, rather than continue to progress. I just hope the rest of the album has a little more substance, and that this is that one "radio single" that most bands release initially to jump start album sales.

[rohbit]

Yeah, for once your opinion and mine somewhat coincide. I like the single and all, but it does seem like a step backward. I don't mind the pop-punk sound at all, but it might not bode well for them sales-wise.

My one criticism of chuck was that it didn't sound all that original. Dave Brownsound was most likely the reason they were making such a metal-driven album, and there were the occasional songs that sounded like Metallica ripoffs.
