Floyd needs new strings
Mmm, rain. I woke up this morning to the leftovers of a nice big storm, so it was wet and kinda cold outside when I went to breakfast this morning. I like it like that, though, so it's all good. Actually, the rain is why I'm blogging right now: it's raining again as we speak, and I don't feel like going outside. "So why not blog?", I said to myself. I agreed, so here I am.
Not a whole terrible lot has happened since Family Weekend. After my family left on Sunday, I went down to Maybee Theatre in the Administration building to watch a movie. Maybee is actually a theatre in the sense of the performing arts, but there's this big retractable screen in front of the stage that can be used to watch movies. The film club, of which I am a member, meets here weekly to watch various films. This week was a film called Donny Darko. Don't worry, I'd never heard of it before, either. Appearently it was released in 2001, though, so it's a relatvely recent movie. But yeah, this was one strange movie, guys.
Strange in a good way, though. Fun strange. Unique strange. Cool strange. I liked it. It was especially fun watching it in Maybee on the screen thing. Next week's The Nightmare Before Christmas, another one I've never seen before.
Other than the movie, not a whole lot has happened. I do want to thank my parents, though, for bringing up Floyd and Stan for me. Floyd and Stan, you see, are my two guitars; my mom and brother named them early on, and they sorta stuck. I actually stopped playing guitar more than a year ago, but after seeing people busting out guitars all over campus, I decided i'd be fun to take it up again. An you know what? I guess I never really realized how much I missed doing it. Playing the guitar is fun, guys! I can feel the caluses on my fingers returning already.
Oh, I also bought this cool t-shirt from the Student Government Association. SGA needed money, and I liked the shirt, so hey, why not? It has a pic of the Raven mascot on the front, and a speech bubble with the letters "5, 6, 7, 8...". On the back is our school fight song. Okay, everyone say "ooh" and "aah" with me now: OOH, AAH! Yeah, you know you want one.
Yeah, so that's about it. I'm considering checking my snail-mail now, since I haven't for like a week. That darn rain, though, is making me reconsider. Get wet and get mail, or stay dry in my mail-less room? Hmm. I'll have to think long and hard about this.

Talking to yourself now, Paul? Maybe you should see a phychatrist. I like your blog.

: 5:57 PM Floyd and Stan, huh? I haven't named my saxophone yet. I should probably get around to doing that... seeing as how everything in my life has a name. Finnegan my plant sits next to my closet holding sweatshirts Fuzzy and Fluffy. I am currently writing on Daniel, my Dell Laptop, and feeling great pangs of longing for Sven, my car. Have fun with those calouses man, you're crazy. There's a reason I stopped playing guitar after a month. Well, that's one of the reasons... Hope you have fun in the rain. Really wish we could have some of that here. What poured here yesterday actually turned into too-warm weather. Bummer. Btw, this post is way longer than standard posts. Is that acceptable? I should go blog something.
