The end is near, repent!

Okay, so my life is about to end here at Bethany. For the moment. We have a few weeks left of class and then exams are coming up. It's about this time where I become thankful that I never continued with Greek because, let's face it, I would have died. Then again, I'm already screwed academically, so what the hay?

Speaking of dying. So the fire alarm went off last night around 2-2:30am. I didn't hear it at first because of the goodness that is earplugs. So then my RA comes and knocks on my door. Didn't hear it. I eventually woke up, but that after someone came into my room and turned on the lights. Even that didn't work, but I eventually woke up because I started sweating. To be honest, I was more concerned with the notion that someone came into my room. Nevermind the fact that I could have died. SOMEONE WAS IN MY ROOM.

Okay, so before I go, I just want to highlight some sweet music I've been listening to lately. Hopefully, you know of Dallas Green. Well, if you don't, this guy is in a little band called alexisonfire, and he started this side project called City and Colour (witty). So, this past Tuesday, he released a live CD/DVD from one of his performances about this time last year. It has some old-time favorites along with some unreleased material, bad jokes, stage banter, and an alexisonfire cover. Yes. He covers his own band. That's aych-core. But yeah, the songs translate very well live- well, how couldn't it translate well? I mean, it's just him and a guitar for the most part- and he gives the songs a bit of new life by changing them up a bit. But yeah, if you have the time, check it out. It's called Live (surprise surprise).

Oh, and in my defence of the whole fire alarm thing, I was pretty out of it.

Interesting.

So I came across this one article in the Star Pheonix (Saskatoon's paper) about this one guy who plead guilty after making these alleged death threats against the Prime Minister. He also went on to say that he was just being satirical. So, if I wrote something absurd, like, "I hope Harper chokes on poutine", will it mean that I'll get arrested?

I'll keep you posted.

A Proposition...

Okay, so an idea popped into my mind of starting another blog on the side that's basically just a place for me to review music, movies, whatever -- but it'll mostly be music. I just think that reviewers often give high ratings for CDs because what they are known for (tobyMac, dcTalk?), how popular they are at the time, you know. That kind of stuff. So, I propose we skip all the bullshit and get down to what makes it what it is. Thoughts?
