oh Canada

listening to: The Fall of Troy - Macaulay McCulkin
this song has pretty intense lyrics. this is the angry creeper boyfriend breakup revenge song. haha. a lot of the stuff he plays is different from the album version. he make stuff up good. look at his fingers fly while he sings!


so i just got done with a phone call to Canada.
I talked to a semi-hero of mine, Jonathan Mak. This man single handedly created the game Everyday Shooter, a game that really inspired me. We talked for about 20 minutes about games and music. It was really cool. He has an interesting laugh that I didn't understand until I realized he was laughing. It sounded like a fake panic attack, quick breaths. But that's part of what makes him him. I've found that lately my own laugh has changed from what it used to be. I can't really think of mine to describe it right now, but it's not masculine. haha.

Today is October 1. well, techinically october 2 now, but you know. i went to write the date on a paper in class today, and i turned to a neighbor and said "is it the 31st today?" and they said "yeah." so i wrote september 31st on my paper and handed it in. it wasn't until i got home that i realized that there is no 31st of september. i wonder what the teacher will think of me. haha.

i'm very tired and think i will cease to do homework right now. i'll watch this weeks episode of Heroes and then go to bed. tomorrow after class i'll be doing homework until i go to Real Men. then i'll do homework after that until i go to bed. then i'll wake up and do homework until the Burden of a Day concert. then saturday i have to be at work at 7:30 for a mandatory meeting. then i'll come home and either sleep more or do more homework. after work, i'll come home and do homework. because i have entirely too much homework to do right now. so i feel. all this drawing! blah.

i'm doing well. you? my life is pretty great, despite.

the method i chose to fix my amp head isn't working out. i need to look into how much it would cost to buy replacement pots(potentiometers). then i'd need to know how hard it would be to diy the replacing. the clean channel works seemingly just fine. maybe i could just use the amp head as power for the cab and then use pedals for effects changing? sounds possible.

today while in fiction class i wasn't paying much attention as we went over the assigned story for the day. i was reading other stories in our book. mostly the reason for this was i caught some phrases in other languages and i read the footnotes to see what they meant. french and latin.

"de gaiete de coeur" - from happiness of heart
"comme il faut" - as it should be
"il faut que jeunesse se passe" - youth will have its day
"respice finem" - consider your end (death)

first three are french, last is latin. i love phrases from other languages. i want to learn another language, even if it's a dead one. latin and greek fascinate me.

i'm contemplating giving up a couple things that i value and desire. not things like objects so much, but a giving up nonetheless. more another time.

now sleep time! after heroes. :)
