Driving Lessons

Hey. i just saw a cool movie called Driving Lessons. I thought i probably wouldn't like it (it has rupert grint, from the harry potter movies), but it turned out to have a little of the texture that i like a lot. this texture was in little miss sunshine, everything is illuminated, and a small bit of nacho libre. hey, speaking of Jack Black, can anyone tell me anything about "tenacious d and the pick of doom?" i really want to see that movie. i'm sooo tired from my first two days back at school. i want to go to sleep but i have some more homework i should probably be doing right now. well, i'll get started on that. later.

And just because i'm so ecstatic...

well, as you can see, this is my third post of the day. this time it's not at all related to the new year... well... i guess it sort of is... but not really. it's lyrics! yay!
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

man, i haven't listened to the beatles in a while, at least not this song. i put itunes on shuffle and it played this. i had never thought about this song before, either. it's actually really amazing to listen to a song that you've never thought about before and suddenly listen to it more intensely. it's yet another great feeling i've had within the past 24 hours.

resolutions

whoops, forgot to post resolutions:
(most of these are short-term. i can't ever get long-term stuff to work out.)

I. muster some courage. in general. there are a few specifics, but i don't have the courage at present to publicize them.
II. Ace the Midterms.
III. finish all my homework by the end of the break. (one day left... still time!)
IV. care less about other peoples' opinions of me, and greaten my opinion of myself.
V. be nicer to the people who I haven't been especially great to lately... only three i can think of, but still
VI. there is no six. i probably won't be able to remember 1-5 anyway.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

hey, everyone! i hope this year goes down in history as the second-to-last year of the neo-con regime. even if it doesn't, though, i hope it will at least go into the history books as a year that people started to care about the world we live in, began to show empathy for people around the world. In any case, i had a decent new year's eve. i went to Lucy's house for a party that was meant for adults, but the teens had been invited, too. the guys got locked out of everything the girls were doing, though, and it turns out Lucy had tried to get her parents not to invite us. so that wasn't so great. but it was fun, anyhow. i feel like i can make a difference, for once. i feel like it's a time for new life, almost like it's spring. i'm glad the Roman calendar puts the new year in winter, when everything's bare and the trees aren't as lush as normal. it gives the winter a warmer feeling.

Last post of the year.

i would post this at 12:00 tonight, but i won't be here. i hope you won't be here. i'll be at a party that i halfway want to go to. oh well... so... happy new year. it's sort of an odd new year, isn't it? not odd in the sense that it's strange, but in the sense that the next number isn't really a number you say very often. "hey, i'd like to order 2007 pizzas." "wow! there must be 2007 cubed inches of cake here!" yeah. you just don't. so anyway, happy new year! :)
