Jury duty tomorrow-8 o'clock. Argh. On the plus side I've made a positive decision in my life to drastically cut back on cigarettes. No longer will I be a pack-a-day slave! I've been managing on two a day, but the real test will be whether or not I keep it up in school. I feel like I can do it, and maybe someday quit all together. That would be nice, eh?

Today was good, I got some bitchin' music. A media store in Keene is going out of business so e'rything was half off. I got an Against Me! cd of demos off As The Eternal Cowboy. It's only okay. A lot of the songs sound just like they did on the final cut, but it was only 5 bucks and the songs that are different are well worth it. I got an Islands cd "Arms Way" as well. Much more satisfying than the Against Me! purchase. Very melodic, and they really expanded on what they did with their "Return to the Sea" effort. The vocals and lyrics are probably the most interesting part of the record. Nick Thorburn's voice is haunting. The last and favorite album was Something to Write Home About by The Get Up Kids. I've been a fan of The Get Up Kids for a while but have never actually purchased a cd. I am not disappointed at all. In fact, I'm thrilled. I can tell this is one of those albums that I could just listen to over and over again and never get sick of it. I would have to recommend it to anyone who likes good music.

Along with purchasing music I also watched a really great movie today; it was a Spanish horror move "The Orphanage" (El Orfanato). Really fantastically shot, and completely lacking in the lame cheep scares most horror movies rely on. The atmosphere is what caused the film to have such a creepy vibe to it. The only real complaint I have is that it was at times too visually dark and could make seeing each detail a little difficult.

I'm finally getting around to reading "Pride and Prejudice" and I'm happy with it. The prose is nearly flawless. It pisses me off that people can't write like they used to anymore. *sigh* to live in the glory days...

I need to get ready for everything that is going to happen tomorrow. Stay strong soldiers.
