I'm fucking sick and tired of people not knowing what they are talking about. I am completely surrounded by Bush supporters. Let me go on record as saying this, before I start my rant: I despise Bush, but I have a lot of respect for Bush supporters that can display any sort of knowledge of American politics, economics, or international affairs. Yes ( Read more... )

Holy chem lab hell. My GSI is from Thailand and I can't understand a fucking word he says. And I'm normally great with accents. But he can hardly speak any English. Christ, four hours standing after having class all day and completely clueless as to what the instructor is saying. HORRIBLE.

Today was probably the most boring day ever. I didn't have class, so I just slept in, went to the bank, ordered my hockey tickets, burned some DVDs, and read. Yeah, boring. I didn't really want to go out and walk around too much because that leads to spending money. Fiscal responsibility is the name of the game, folks ( Read more... )

Awesome. I just found out that Saturday Looks Good To Me is playing at the Blind Pig on Friday. They are such a great little band. A great little band nobody really knows about, that is. But hell, I've been getting shitfaced enough lately, I'll go to this even if I end up going alone.

This has been one of the best days of my life. First of all, I got those amazing Wilco tickets. Then I went to class and took a nap...came back to my room and took another nap. Then I went to my first official Michigan Daily assignment...seing THX 1138. It was a decent film, but I can't give it a good recommendation. I have to write a 500-700 word ( Read more... )

Holy shit. I just got back from the Union...where I got FRONT ROW CENTER for Wilco! Best day ever.

Freaking awesome. Tomorrow I'm getting a press pass to THX 1138 and writing a review for the Michigan Daily. I'm so happy to be continuing my journalism endeavors here. It looks as though I may be doing some design work for them as well...because apparently they just switched to InDesign and nobody knows how to use it. I must say that I am quite ( Read more... )

Today I only had one class, a pointless chem discussion where we just reviewed old chem stuff. It might be useful later on, but chemistry is so fresh in my mind that I have no use for reviewing right now. After that I ate some mediocre dorm food (relatively speaking....I have no problem with eating in the cafeterias) and went down to Festifall on ( Read more... )

Excellent. The Court and Spark are playing in Lansing on October 2nd...the day before the Vote For Change concert and two days before Brian Wilson....AND 8 days before Wilco! Seriously.....use the links in my earlier entries to download their stuff! It's amazing, especially Bless You.

Today was a relief. I finally got my parking situation straightened out...which is great because it was getting stressful for my grandparents. By stressful I mean that my grandma might actually have to get off her ass and do something. The old bitch hasn't worked a day in her life and she was irritated about having to come into Ann Arbor from ( Read more... )
