Updates

Here are some updates for your reading pleasure.

I've decided that those anonymous comments about my history class did not come from anyone in the class. Just really random, anonymous tarkers. At least, if it did come from someone in the class they have in no way made themselves known. Case closed in my book.

I got an A- on my trenchwarfare paper. The prof was, we'll say impressed, that I knew so much about the topic since I didn't site a lot of sources. What can I say? There's a lot of useless knowledge up in this head, but there's a lot more useful things, it's just sorting them out that's difficult.

Ben and I watched the Billboard music awards last night, and by watched I mean he played his banjo and I flipped between that and an episode of America's Next Top Model (we don't have cable). And we decided that there are more collaborations in music than there should be. Almost every song had "featuring...some random musician" can no one produce good music on their own anymore? I don't listen to much current, popular music, but if what I heard last night was any indication, I'm not missing much. They had Ashley Simpson singing one of her songs with some Latin rapper featuring some other rapper. What that amounted to was two terrible songs combined into one really horrible attempt at a live performance. I think they took two people who suck and paired them together hoping that something good would come from it. It didn't work. Please do NOT leave me comments about how Ashley Simpson is the best singer and person in the world--I truly don't care. Anyway, there were other live performances like that, but I can't remember them and don't want to waste space on them. Tom Petty got their century award. I've always been a silent fan of his, don't own any albums, but I've always liked what I've heard from him. It's weird to think that he was popular even before I was born, he's been around that long making music. Props to Tom and the Heartbreakers.

Also at the award show I noticed Carrot Top in the crowd. WTF? I really hate that guy. He's not funny, not even if I were really drunk or tired. Why is it that that guy gets to be famous and not me? I think I'm by far funnier than him. Christmas music and Carrot Top, they're both up there on my list of things I don't like.
