Sunday: Powering Down

I won't say that having no computer is nice... but it lets you slow down a bit.  I read about a hundred and fifty pages into the Stephen King book that came out last November called 11/22/63, primarily because I had nothing to distract me.  So far it's shaping up to be really good.  Stephen King likes to put places, events, and characters into multiple books, which kind of connects everything he's ever written.  This book has some really strong connections to IT, which just so happens to be my favorite book of all time.  I won't say it's nice to read about the town from IT again; that place is decidedly not nice.  But it is weirdly nostalgic to meet a few old favorite characters and see a small yet new part of their storyline.

Other than that I finally got my desk fixed today, and for some reason my room is not longer suffocatingly humid and hot.  I doubt cleaning it up had anything to do with that, but it might have helped the atmosphere in there just a little bit.  The place is definitely a bit more spacious without the stacks of old papers and books lying everywhere...

And oh yeah, only five more days of school left until the long, warm expanse known as Summer.  Summer is shaping up to be pretty damn nice this year, seeing as it's one or two weeks longer than usual.  Although I will be a bit busier than usual, with a possible internship with a state representative and my usual volunteer work for Science in the Summer.  But at least I'll get to write.  A lot.  And maybe I can finally finish a story longer than sixty-eight pages.

SONG OF THE DAY: ALIVE AND WELL

I'm not sure what exactly it is about this song that makes me like it.  It's manic-paced, and the singer (whose name happens to be Tim), sings the entire thing on that delicate borderline between screaming and singing... something that I have grown to like.  It also happens to be the first song of their first album... so that makes it kind of cool.  To have a band's career start out with a song called "Alive and Well," well, it seems cliche but I still like it.

You'll learn I can be a sucker for cliche.  Goodbye for another night.  I should be getting my real computer fixed in... eight days and counting.
