At the end of the night // there's a road we'll be on

Snatching Victory/enjoyment for the jaws of defeat/boredom

Beck is just great. I somehow let this slip into the grey matter of my brain, but then I get his new one 'Guero' yesterday and it is the man. He's so fearless, he does just whatever he wants; he does rap, he does soul, funk, acoustic and electric and all of them just amazingly and you get them all here. There is a song called 'E-Pro' that is I think made to hear only through the cheap $5 headphones and a song called 'Scarecrow' that sounds like he bumped into the Shins on the street and they also had all their gear and played it and then shook hands and parted. And hahhhaa this song here, I was laughing out loud in Computer Science class when I heard the "Willy Wonka singers" (the newer one I think, I just saw a trailer for it, Johnny Depp's in it, I think it looks good anyway) near the end for the first time.

And it's really a great soundtrack for a Computer Science class. After having to sit inside and finish all the homework I put off till the last minute (there were cotton snowflakes fluttering by!! I felt like I was back in 5th grade watching the second hand actually going backwards) I got done with it an hour early, but alas didn't have a single book to read outdoors before the class started. I don't know what would be the best adjective to use to describe just how long this class feels.... I will choose 'maddeningly'. I downloaded a free version of euchre called 'Hardwood Euchre' in there: a sort of fantasy/Lord of the Rings meets euchre affair, you even get to be a wizard if you want. But there is only one catch: after the 7 day trial expired, you only can play 1 game per day. So this game, falling at exactly 7:00 P.M EST each class period I have decided is the most important euchre game ever played. And it lived up to the hype, myself (hlcis) and my dwarven counterpart slaying the court jester and gnome, erasing a 9-7 deficit by taking 10 straight tricks. I almost did a cartwheel down the aisle, but did not.

Also I think this song on there called 'Girl' will seriously be my Summer anthem I think, like how Casual Dots were last year and SMiLE was this winter and my Indie GH/'A Quiet Place' were for the highs/lows of spring break.

Want to hear something else that is (not) funny? How about going to Subway before all this "excitement", patting you pocket and subconsciously wondering why it feels so empty, getting your 12" and pop and going to your car and seeing your keys sitting dazzlingly on the passengers seat. Wow that was just "capital", walking into the forest nearby to fetch a stick long enough to reach first the keys, in almost the style of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ride in Disneyland I thought, because they of course get almost 2/3's of the way up to the cracked open sunroof and then fall behind the seat and, as kids beginning to point and giggle, I had to resort to trying to get the stick to reach the lock, then breaking the stick in half over my knee and getting another stick and then finally getting the damn thing to open. I'll never do that again. And if you believe that, I'll tell you another.

Walking back to my car from class at night (I parked where I "used" to park last semester for the first time in a while), I listened to U2 'Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own', it was pretty emotional, I'm not sure why but I really am.
