i don't know where i am, i don't know where i've been, but i know where i want to go

I'm feeling a new found love of blogging.

I have been pretty absent-minded as of recent, with all sorts of drama going on in my own life. Although it's not as dramatic as a sitcom, it is drama nonetheless.

i.e.: my car transmission. Other things are that our air conditioner is acting all funky. We have to keep sucking a lot of water out of it or else it leaks onto the carpet in the hallway. Very stressful.

Not only that, but I have to unpack all these clothes I put in garbage bags "just in case" that Hurricane Gustav was terrible to our house and whatever. Even though we just got a few downed limbs in the yard.... we still have to re-assemble all the junk in our house we spent so much time putting away.

In other news, I didn't have school today, and that was pretty cool, although that does mean I haven't been to a single Biology class. I don't have them on Friday's, so my first appearance in class will be bright and early Monday morning.

I really love Bright Eyes' albums Cassadaga and I'm Wide Awake it's Morning. Also, I've been listening to the new Emmylou Harris album, All I Intended to Be. I think I'm becoming very folk/early country. Country music is derived from folk music, I believe. From early folk/gypsy music, telling about the life on the land or whatever. I may have to do some research on that.

I don't want to work on this shit in my room. Putting things back where they belong. It's kinda like how my mother said it would be: if we were prepared and got things out of the way of water (if water had gotten in the house) then nothing would happen, and that's kinda how it worked out. But now we just have to put things back the way they used to be.

The surround sound in the living room hasn't been reconnected yet.

I don't know if I mentioned it, but I got a new charger for my computer, so now I don't have to make it all ghetto with duct tape or whatever I had to do before.

Oh, my friend R gave me a really cool ashtray, although I don't smoke. It looks like an Asian pagoda or something. I'm gonna make it all shiny, take a picture and show it off eventually.
