Tragic.
Sigh. My life has reach a new level of pathetic. First, I watched the Grammys and I actually felt bad when JT didn't win for fucking album of the year! What the hell! The Grammys aren't worth getting involved emotionally! Especially when you find out that Black Eyed Peas actually won shit! Disgusting.
Second, I totally downloaded the Spring Awakening soundtrack because I keep seeing their fucking ads on the teevee and the music keeps fucking getting stuck in my fucking head and I sort of liked what I heard in the ads cos it sounded so fucking emo but I'm just mad at myself for being such a sucka and being affected by advertising! True fact though: I probably wouldn't have paid attention to the ads if the costumes hadn't looked so, uh, Amish. Though I found out why they looked Amish, it's cos this is actually set in late 19 c. Germany. LOL.
Last, I kept refreshing my Audioscrobbler page to see my charts and it didn't update until tonight. :(

I Have a Way of Making People Uncomfortable at Times.
Look! It's Håkan Hellström!!
So... Simon Reynolds, who wrote Rip it Up and Start Again, came to speak to our class. He was very nice, very cute and cuddly and knowledgeable, too. Then a fire alarm went off. I was so fucking pissed off! I did not wait for 7 weeks for this dude to show up just so the fucking fire alarm could fucking go off on a fucking rainy day! Tch! Anyway, we only stayed out in the rain a few minutes and we made it back in, and we found out we got locked out of our classroom. Haha. Ohhh god. So I happened to be standing right next to el señor Reynolds, so I go, "Hey, you should do another episode of New York Noise" to which he made this face, in recognition, and replied in his proper British accent, "Oh god, you saw that, did you," and then he sounded sort of apologetic trying to explain that the producers had stuck him in a hair salon and how he didn't know what the fuck he was doing there so he had to improvise. Aw! I didn't mean to bring back bad memories, so I tried to assuage the emotional damage and was like, "Yeah, but I really liked your choice of videos, like I'd never seen Josef K video before," and he seemed to appreciate that okay. And then we parted ways with an awkward goodby, since class was over.
Oh yeah, totally forgot that CBGB's finally closed. What's next? Chinese Democracy finally to be released???

Fea.
I just checked out Stereogum and he put up the video for "The Black Parade", which I obviously watched. I want those five minutes of my life back. WTF, I was TOTALLY RIGHT. It's like an ad for an anime convention. Actually, the lyrics to the song are taken pretty literally in this video and it makes me sad that they didn't go crazy with a concept. I mean, it's a weird song, it's got a weird structure. The video totally makes me dislike this song. Like most of the video was Gerard on the camera and y'all gotta understand, I love Gerard but there was so much more to love when he was a fatty, y'know? Ugh, what a waste of a budget. I was expecting "Wake Me Up When September Ends": a lot of laughin', a lot of cryin', and a lot of cryin' from laughin' too fuckin' hard. The only thing that made me LOL was when Gerard is all like, "I'ma smash this mic stand!!!" I was like, yeah, okay. Shit, even a video of "Snakes on a Plane" quality would have made my day. Sigh!
Great news! My Bowie secret finally showed up!! I made one about Stuart Murdoch too, but they must have taken it off... I understand cos it was a total wank and I really honestly did submit it just to piss off people. Hee...
I watched the premiere of Ugly Betty today and it was really cute! It doesn't take itself very seriously and the cast was hilarious. OMG and the clips with Salma Hayek in them made me laugh even harder. I dunno how long this could go, I really feel like it should be like a real telenovela and just go one or two seasons... Then again, I get a feeling it's gonna get cancelled. :/
I went to the library today and found out there's DVDs of the original Degrassi series.

Class went as badly as I imagined it would. Bummed me out a bit, more so that I had to workshop a poem that even I hated! I feel bad for the rest of my classmates. :( Actually I was lying, it's really depressing me. I got so frustrated during class that this one girl was like, "Well at least you tried." Word.
I may or may not be making friends. And by "friends" I mean people with whom I exchange banter about Lydia Lunch and Love and Rockets and America's Next Top Model and David Cross and Our Band Could Save Your Life. It's shocking the amount of namechecking I've committed in the past day and a half. I hate myself, hahaha.
