 My Knee Hurts!Current Music| Remy Zero - Save Me   Toine has let me borrow his Smallville dvd sets. I went thru the first season in about a week, and i'm already on the last disc of the second season. It's an interesting show. If it were not for the whole 'Superman as a kid' plot, i doubt i'd even sit thru an episode. But because of it, i give it a shot. It's a mixed bag: some stuff is directly stupid like the emotional content that always gets thrown in (it was done great in Full House: it was something else to laugh at), and the 'hip' music thrown in. Oh, awesome, this scene begins with a song from The Calling!!! And oh man that theme song sucks. But there is some cool stuff too. It's nice to notice little things thrown in from the comics, like Lex almost always wearing a purple shirt, and Clark wearing almost exclusively only blue and red. Also, i'm not sure where i stand on the story. Lex and Clark are friends... it's questionable but interesting at the same time. The same with how every student and teacher at Smallville High seems to either get super powers, die, or both. The best part so far was when Christopher Reeve (THE Superman from the movies) guest starred. He did an excellent job (mind you, he was wheelchair and oxygen-tank bound) and music from the movies was used during his scene (the only emotional content i've felt worked so far.) I'm sure i'll borrow seasons 3 and 4 from Toine, and maybe catch up on season 5 - happening now. We'll see... On the vocational front, Dad's lined me up with 2 IT job fairs. The first one for IBM seems like it'll only be a trial-run, considering they're looking for people with 'professional experience,' but the second one is aimed more at recent college grads and involves something called speed-interviews, which is remeniscent of speed-dating. Wish me luck.

 coolCurrent Music| The Click Five - Time Machine Last night i had dinner with Tim and Allison. It's been awhile since i saw either one of them, and even longer since all three of us were together. Allison picked TGIFridays in the new section of Tyson's Mall. I've decided to go a month without fast food, and chicken nuggets/tenders of most kinds are on that list. so instead of getting the normal "stever-usual" of chicken tenders, i got the chicken ceaser salad. it was actually really good, and only had about 4 peices of chicken - surprisingly it was the salad that was the best part! WHO KNEW?!?!?!?!?!? anyways, the three of us had a good time (and me and tim 2 beers) and talked about what is going on with us but as usual alot of our past came up - we did goto high school together. it was fun, and i hope to do it again soon. after dinner we walked around the mall and checked out a bookstore. It had 2 levels, and we spent most of our time on the first floor where the music was. I saw some guy i recognized from JMU but i don't think he recognized me. Allison danced in the cd section to "Jesse's Girl"... We left and i followed Tim over to his parents house in fairfax. i haven't been there in YEARS and it was interesting seeing the place and his parents after so long. They were equally surprised. weird.  i've stumbled upon a pop-rock fivesome that's pretty cool. they're called the Click Five, and they only have one album out so far. Paul Stanley co-wrote one song with them, two songs are written by guys from "Fountains of Wayne," and on a few shows they opened up for the Backstreet Boys. They're pretty cool. All play instruments and they dress alike in suits similar to early-Beatles. But the awesomest part is lead-singer Eric Dill. His voice can reach real high notes full-voiced. We're talking in Robert Plant-range! I recommend the song "Good Day." Let's see what happens with these guys. | |

ouch, my ear hurts! Current Music| Nick Carter - I Got You   I've finished watching all the seasons that are currently on DVD of Smallville. What can I say, i'm both proud and ashamed i made it all the way. The third season was more interesting than #2, while #4 started out even better, but then sunk quickly. Looking back on 4 seasons worth of a 45-minute show, i can honestly say i'll probably never (want to) see these again. Kinda like the time i downloaded the first two NES versions of the Metal Gear games, and then finished them. It was nice at the time, but i ain't never going back. I've found myself in a bit of a creative streak. i'm currently working on more new songs than i have in FOREVER! | ||

 goodCurrent Music| Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone  I decided to visit my old "haunting ground" of Harrisonburg, VA for halloween. It felt weird to be back... actually not a good feeling. But it was real cool to see and hang out with friends i haven't seen in awhile. Nate is Nate, Brittany is Brittany, and Liesel has lost weight and has a nose-ring. Toine and i drove down for the night. We arrived and went to Ruby Tuesdays, because no one was at their respective homes. Nate was working but he wasn't our waiter, although he did stop by and talked to us every now and then. He got some girl to come up and tell me she wants me, and he told toine that our waitress (who toine wanted probably because she met his requirements: female and within 10 feet of him) was pregnant. We met liesel when she got offa work and went back to her place (where she now lives with nater.) She definitely looked different! she dressed up into her costume which was a redskins fan, Toiners dressed up as an escaped convict (he actually BOUGHT an orange costume and handcuffs) and i was a nerd (lots of dressing up and hours of makeup...) We went off in search of festivities! Brittany's sunchase apartment beckoned. She was dressed as "a little kid" and her roommates and friends were: 2 moms, a girl from The Incredibles, and a redneck. Emily Jerome and Eddie Coin showed up and they were "white trash" and "emo" respectively. We all went to a party in Fox Hills, and stayed for maybe 5 minutes, it sucked. We trekked up to another party where we met up with nate (NOT dressed up!) and Stephanie (Brittany's roomie and one of the "moms") had beer poured on her, so we left (thus losing nate and liesel.) Toine, Emily, Eddie and I went to a party Eddie knew of, which wasn't all that great, but there were some funny moments as Toine tried his hardest to hit on Emily (Eddie and I dubbed him "knight in shining armor")!!!! After a long night out, i came back and stayed up watching horrible horror movies with Brittany's friends, and didn't crash until about 7 am on the floor. I was one tired nerd...
