Obama Said Knock You Outtt

i know i mentioned joy division last post, but i am absolutely in love with them, particularly ian curtis. Just watch this video, and listen to his voice and look at him. Just by looking you see that he is drugged or drunk and he doesn't look well. And it shows, as not long after this, he hung himself in his kitchen...sooo sad. I now have every jd album, and i have never heard a bad song from them. And to tell you the truth it fascinates me despite my love for interpol, how much they completely ripped off jd. And how other bands like bloc party and the arcade fire got the base for their sound. Amazing. Really.
sorry for not posting for awhile. To tell you the truth i didn't even realize i haven't posted until i got a few emails asking where i was. No, sadly i wasn't on vacation, just very busy with everything. It has been a crazyyy week, in both a good way and a bad way...
okay so first...my sister got engaged! That's exciting..he proposed to her at angel stadium exactly a week ago. Very cute. So that's cool, and then father's day was nice where i practically made the entire meal....i am seriously obsessed with cooking, i made dinner 3 times this week, i love it. I must say, i'm good too!
And then after father's day was my sister's birthday, which was also a sort of celebration for the engagement...which was also marked with a trip to glen ivy and a start of a beautiful summer tan haha. but then fear struck...
so the whole deal with my changing schools was done, as long as i completed a college math course. Now i never did a college math class my first year at cpp because i couldn't get one really, but since i didn't take one, i was supposed to take a placement test to place into a math class which would suck. But my advisor told me if i didn't want to take a remedial class, then all i had to do was take math at a jc, because i wouldn't have to take remedial. So i took his word for it, but when i was trying to register for stats at rcc, i was told i had to take the placement test (which i knew i would bomb bc i haven't taken math in 3 years) So i thought i was screwed. i mean i could try to place into college math but if i couldn't then i would have to take remedial in summer and not take college math till fall, meaning i couldn't transfer.
so as i was depressed all week thinking i wouldn't be going, i figured i would take the test, and i did which i didn't bomb, as i placed into college math (who knew i would remember all of that ish) but not the level of math i need. So i still wouldn't be able to transfer....so then in my despair i was left with one choice, find a school that didn't have the requirement. So after searching, i was left with one choice, my sister's school university of phoenix. I contacted the school and i found out that they are offering a class that i can take that would end at the perfect time. So maybe i do have hope?? They are offering a class that is exact to the one i need. So i called my "future" school today, and unfortunately all counselors were out of the office, but first thing monday i will know if this class is acceptable for transfer, and if it is...YAY!!
so i was going to talk about something else, but i forgot, so i'll just go to the music. i have two yyy songs on the word of them in the studio recording their new album! The first is a cover of "diamond sea" a song by the greatest indie band of all time, sonic youth. (i don't think i've posted this song before, but let me know if i have) and the other is a cover of the fabulous yyy song "maps" but done by the arcade fire. Enjoy, wish me luck, and get a nice tan in this heat.

Love Is Like A Bottle Of Gin...

so i would normally be in class right now, but its finals week! I had a final at 7am this morning, now i'm home, and then i have a final at 6pm tonight! Ahh! sucksss not just that i have to drive back, but i am missing the laker game tonight. And this is a class i for sure have an A in. Its my last history class! awwww i love history...So yeah, and i took one yesterday, then i have two on thursday back to back and i'm goneee. Very exciting. Then i have a week before summer school, so i'll catch up on some movies and build my tan haha.
i have a couple of great movie recommendations...first "control" its the story of ian curtis, the lead singer of the amazing 70's - 80's band joy division who tragically killed himself when the band was at its peak. Seriously, a really reallyyyyy good movie. All in black and white and hearing joy division while enjoying a great movie isn't bad at all either. And the other is the amazing french movie, "the diving bell and the butterfly." 'It chronicles the life of the editor of Elle magazine in France, where at 42 he suffered a stroke, right after he signed a book deal for his autobiography. He was left completely paralyzed and unable to speak, but he still wanted to write his book. So with the help of an assistant, he wrote his entire autobiography by blinking! A truly amazing movie....go find it.
So i wish i was going on vacation now, but i still have a couple months, it kind of sucks that i don't have a summer vacation really, i guess two weeks all together, but its going to be worth it in the end. I wish i was 21 already though! This summer would be a lot more interesting...
so coldplay's new album comes out i believe a week from today? And i already have it. Its pretty good, but then again i've never been that big a fan in the first place. So today i have a fun coldplay cover of the amazingly catchy kylie minogue song, "can't get you out of my head." And the other song is a song i never really liked until i heard the cover. Now i may have not enjoyed goldfrapp at coachella, but i respect her musical ability, and her cover of the amazing klaxons song, "It's Not Over Yet."Goooooood stuff, and for those of you still in school, good luck...

Alone, Oh God, My Heart...

i know this song is like 5 years old...i remember loving it my sophomore year of high school haha but i've fallen in love with it again, and the lyrics are amazingggg
and yet another week passes by...and we finally reach week 10 of the quarter. And my last week before finals and the culmination of my last quarter at cpp. All my final papers have been written, and now it is just time for studying and sending my final transcripts. My intent to enroll has been sent along with my housing request....strange i never thought i would find myself doing this, but here i am.
i am sooo excited for the nba finals...lakers v. celtics is a dreammmm match up.
i ran 35 miles last week...ahh helllll yeahhhh
i can't stop ordering stuff online...i LOVE zappos. they have everythingggg. And i love it because they have free return shipping. I just ordered a crapload of stuff from american apparel online, and i didn't like it so i returned it, but i had to pay like $10 bucks for return shipping. soooo stupid. and i just ordered some stuff from urban..it better fit!
i seriously can't own enough v necks, i won't rest till i have everyyy color and style haha.
i also have an obsession with cooking...i fancy myself a helllll of a cook. i never thought i would say that, but seriously, i am gooooooood. I can't really make desserts though, but i make amazing everything else haha.
Anyways, i'm kind of rambling on, so tonight i have two nice songs for you. The first is a great song by a great new band called neon neon. This song, instantly will catch you and make you dance, its a lottt of fun, a great song and an interesting album mixing hip hop, rock and dance. good stuff. And the other song i heard on the "oxford comma" ep. Its a really fun remix of the great song walcott. Enjoy...and lets get ready for summerrrrr.

Neon Neon - I Lust You
Vampire Weekend - Walcott (Insane Mix #2)
