rock on!

i passed by the new pornographers cd in best buy. i still haven't heard it and the reviewers in the spec have all placed it as their favorite cd of the year. that's entirely why i passed it up again. i'll just dl' it when i get back to school. i haven't found anyone who does the spec's music section sharing the same tastes as my own.

wow. two weeks of work... after tax that's about $1000. sweet, in the money again. plenty of money to fuel bad habits when i get back to school, bailey's irish cream, i'm looking at you kid. maybe a new digital camera.

i went climbing for the first time in months on friday, i am way out of shape for climbing. forearms are not what they used to be, they are sore as a mother fucker now. one of the coolest features they've added in our gym is a self-belay-pulley system. they have your rope and clip in attached to a pulley that catches the slack as you go up and releases slowly as you come down. awesome. good thing i have a salary right now, as of now the need list consists of 2nd pair of climbing shoes... looking at a pair of Bufo's or those new 5'10 shoes they put out. also need a decent harness.

...hmmm.. also, mr. zaragoza said i showed promise. i'm not sure in what aspect he was referring to but it was nice to see a compliment in some form from him.

ayn rand's Atlas Shrugged is turning out to be a better book than i thought it was going to be. long as hell though, i think i've read 700 pages of it so far and nowhere near done. interesting look at materialistic fueled economy and social structure.

new cd's to fuel the compulsive buying habit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silent Drive- love is worth it. [awesome cd, singing is reminescent of joey cape and the guy from craig's brother, and he transitions into davy havok type screaming, songs have a good range and... well... i think you'll like it]

My Chemical Romance-Three cheers for sweet revenge [haven't listened to it in its entirety yet, hopefully it's as good as it started off]

Funeral for a friend- Seven ways to scream your name [dl' back at school, just picked up the cd, good shit]

Bad Religion- Empire strikes first {best BR release in a long time, applause.]
