Graduating Tomorrow

Hello everyone. Sorry for the short absence. I'm graduating High School tomorrow. I'm happy to be finished, but I'm a bit nervous since my mother is throwing me a party filled with distant relatives that make me a bit uncomfortable. I'll be fine. I'm not sure when we'll be able to afford my graduation present (laptop for college), but hopefully before I actually start college.

In other news, I was driving with my best friend today, and my car cut out at an intersection when the mileage for "Trip A" was at 66.6. That was interesting. It would certainly explain some things. Anyhow, I'm supposed to do some more house cleaning before tomorrow, so off I go.

And by the way, check out the new poll I have off to the side about how I can improve my blog.

Why I Still Use CD's

Second Wave Compilation, Talking Heads, and SOM all purchased at a used book store Are CD's obsolete? With all of this digital downloading, most people don't even bother with them. Even vinyls (which are technically obsolete) have a vintage charm which CD's currently lack. I have a friend who jokes, "It's 2013. Who listens to CD's anymore?" while knowing full well that I still buy them. It might seem that I have luddite tendencies--I don't use an e reader either. However, I can make some very good arguments for purchasing CD's. Buying your music on compact disks nowadays is really cheap, especially if you know where to look. I tend to shop for them at Goodwill, thrift stores, and used book stores. I found Ministry's Psalm 69 (in very good condition) at my local Goodwill for only $1. Keep in mind, many people pay that much for a digital copy of one song. When I shop for them at my local used book store, the CD's are guaranteed to be i...

DIY Moon Patch

Sometimes, I get the inexplicable desire to paint patches. This time, I had an image of the moon phases in my head. The next thing I knew, I was pinning the patch on to the back of my jean vest. I was very pleased with how it turned out. What do you think? In progress The finished product
