It seems I've stepped over lines // You've drawn again and again

$140 for a textbook eh?! As much as money doesn't matter to me, I could use the balance of that horrible monopolized bookstore markup and send it to UNICEF or tsunami relief or something. I'll never understand it. After not seeing Melissa on the i-net for some time, my worry slowly snowballed into a panic that she got lost at sea or got carjacked by 4+ people or ran into a Pterodactyl (that she may argue doesn't exist in fact) but she returned my calls last night (I think she was playing a devilish trick with me by not calling the day before, ha) and we talked about things again and life returned to some form of normalcy. We were supposed to go to see 'Phantom of the Opera' for my b-day in March, but she said she couldn't afford it. The plan seems to be that since Jen James showed interest in it when I requested that day off at work that I think like 4 days before the show I will say something along the lines of "Hey, I got an extra ticket for the Phantom, my treat?", hopefully giving Melissa enough time to change her mind and see that it's, in fact, a b-day gift to me by having her there to see it with. HAHHhah yes I got the Travis music videos DVD today for $10 at teh Borders, it's so great!! The look Andy gives after he looks at the food and how it cuts to Dougie giving the same look of confusion in the 'Sing' video (with Neil wearing my/my Dad's wedding suit to boot) and the 'Walking in the Sun' video and their funny Scottish commentary throughout, it's hilarious. If you go to a Borders or something of the like, pick up the more-contemporary-than-thou (top 100 albums all time: #8 Definitely Maybe (Oasis), #15 Sgt. Pepper's, so much for all those 'unwarranted' "I liked Oasis the first time I heard them, when they were The Beatles" jokes....) Q music magazine, this mini-interview with Brain Wilson is crazy. Like these people write in and ask him all sorts of weird questions and I don't even know. Like there was a time where if it was a cloudy day, he wouldn't go outside, or when he wouldn't take a shower because he thought snakes would come out instead of water and kill him. Or when he got to the weight of 311 lbs. from eating nothing but birthday cakes. He talks about the song 'Vega-tables' though too which is great, and he says that despite the lyrics he, in fact, does not like carrots at all. It's funny. Well before I say "in fact" anymore I'm gone. In fact In fact In fact
