Tired but feeling accomplished:

So yesterday, Minuet, the greatest band in the world, went to Josh, our drummers, house and dug up his basement. Here's the story:
Josh's family is moving and in order to raise the resale value of the house, they decided to pour concrete there. Since the house was built in the 1800's or something, that baby was all dirt. So the 4 of us and his dad dug 6-8 inches out of that basement. All of our feet hurt and hands and heads because whoever built that house had to have been 5 feet tall so everytime we went upstairs, we nailed our domes on the ceiling. There is no worse pain. It knocks smarts out of you. So we had literally tons of dirt and had nowhere to put it, so we went into the front yard and dumped all the dirt into an old well. We filled that sucker up, big time, and that water smelled. We called it the "poop well". It was appropriatly dubbed.


In addition to yesterday and the dig-a-thon:

There was Transmission where I danced...all night. It was hella-fun. Jay, 1 of 2 DJ's, and I danced all night. Some people described it as "vouging". I'll give it to them. There were some cute girls and some gross gals and some bad dancing by both sexes. Who cares though? Everyone had a good time and my feet hurt at the end of the night.


You should have been there. Both of there's.

Minuet is the best thing since the bread slicer!

We played a show this Monday with The Failures' Union, The Reptation, and Rescue. It went off great. So many of our friends out and we really appreciate it. We wrote a new song called Misguided Motives and it got really good feedback from everyone. I really like all the new stuff that we are writing and since we've got some shows out of town, we might be able to sell some stuff and get our name out there. I am psyched to get out of Buffalo. This town is fun and filled with some sweet dudes and chicks, but seriously, the scene is dead. There is no beating around the bush. No one comes out to shows and no one buys anything from any of the bands. Failures' Union had their CD Release show and sold 3 CD's. That's appaling. All of the bands that you see (or don't if you live in Buffalo) work very hard to make the music that you hear. The least that you can do is tell them that you like their music and if you truly do, tell some friends to see us. There are thousands upon thousands of kids that go to college here in the school time and they don't do anything but get beligerantly drunk and stupid. Come to a show and hang out with kids and stop being so friggin' antisocial.

School makes you want to drop out of school...

Yeah, it's true.

I took a test the other day and I thought that I knew it. I had my little sheet of facts that I could bring and was set for the onslaught. So I am taking this test and it's nothing too special, Descriptive Astronomy, my last GenEd class. I get to the end and there are these (rediculous) math problems. I get my calculator out and the batteries are dead. I have had this calculator since I was in 10th grade math and now, in my 5th year of college, they die. I should have seen this coming. So I break out all my long division skills and multiplication skills and I'm counting on my hands and the whole nine yards, right?! So I get the test back on Monday and I get a 25/200. I will go ahead and do the math for you here. It's a 13%. Great. I tried to make it seem like it was no big deal and I just kind of shrugged it off, but it totally is. Grades like this make me want to just give up and get a job and quit school. It's nuts. I hate going in that class now because all thought of me having an understanding of this class are now out the window. I totally hope that someone cheated off of me. Suckers.
