twelve

So I did another thing I'd thought I would never do; watch the Sex and the City movie. I've never seen an episode, but I have to admit that I really liked the movie. It makes me think about how I'm going to meet with the girls in a few hours for lunch, and no matter where life takes us we'll always find a way to stay connected. I've been very distant and out of the loop (for good reason), and I know there are going to be one or two new additions I will have to get to know, but it'll be fun. So the time is now 4:40 AM, and the movie just finished. I completely forgot that I'm going to be driving mom to work in, oh, 4 HOURS! Actually, I think it's in 3 HOURS! Yay!

I managed to clear out one of my shelves; I made it strictly sketchbooks and text books. Now it makes me wonder what I'm going to do with the big pile of other books on the floor. I have two text books that I would like to sell, one being a bio text book. I kind of wrote on the cover to show how I feel about the class, so I know that would go down in value. Maybe I can sell it on Half.com to someone with a sense of humor. I also have an outdated health text book that I don't know if it is being used anymore. Not to mention there are the binders and folders full of world ensemble music. I found the binder from when I first joined, inside was a program of the concert. The group was so small back then; it's hard to believe this new group evolved from a club. I also found staff paper with music that I transcribed during piano. I actually transcribed music! Wow! I remember silently freaking out to myself the day that I figured out the first piano part of "Georgia". By accident, I also figured out a small part of "Go", which reminds me; as soon as I finish clearing out all of this crap in my room, maybe I'll figure out a way to move my keyboard upstairs and start practicing again. I miss playing piano.

Earlier I saw Billy's status update on facebook. He said that he couldn't believe people watched American Idol. I was stuck watching it with my parents. I kind of had a feeling this sudden twist would happen. All the hype being built up around Adam didn't pay off, but then again it could be a Clay Aiken/Ruben Studard situation. I noticed that they gave Adam more of the spotlight tonight, than they did of Kris; Kris only appeared in the group performances, while Adam got to do solos with Kiss, Queen, etc. Before they did the results, I kind of thought that Adam was going to win, but I'm glad it turned out to be a shocker. I think my biggest problems with Adam were is overuse of the falsetto, and his style. Coming from someone with years of experience, you can dress like a punk/goth/emo/whatever your scene may be, and still adapt it to a formal or semi formal setting. He would constantly change from emo, goth, prep; pick one! As for the falsetto; the last person to work it on Idol was Justin Guarini, and I doubt many people remember who he is or his name. Although he seems like a nice guy on tv, I can see Adam becoming the next Pete Wentz. That guy is such a douche. Maybe I'm being too critical on Adam, but glam rock can only take you so far. It was like the huge emo craze that broke out a few years ago. As much I try to explain to Cedric, emo is a dying form of music. I don't think his band will make it any further than the local scene. No offense to them, but all of their songs sound exactly the same. If you want to check them out, they're on Itunes. His band is called Way Too Serious. If you're into the same 4 melodic guitar rifts, and working the autotune on the vocals, and sappy lyrics about how someone's girlfriend dumped them while having a good time, then Way Too Serious is for you.

On a side note, this always cracks me up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReQxVD1mcW0
