Currently binging/ rocking to my 50+ Utada songs and am loving it! The infamous sketchbook assignment is nearing completion after three hours work on it plus the hour of acetoning yesterday. All I need now is an appropriate background that wouldn't take away from the set of pecs which is the focus of the piece. Hn.

Today passed by uneventfully. I gave Liz a rose to cheer her up and to thank her for knocking some sense into me. On the way over Danny saw me walking down the hall and came over to snatch the rose from me (ironic, I know). 'Course, he failed to see all the little sharp thorns on the stem so he gouged his hand on it a bit. Liz seemed to like poking herself with those buggers.

Later at lunch, Rica and I walked into the cafeteria perusing the issue of XY I pulled out of the locker earlier that morning. Originally we were going to annoy Danny about such and such (I think I was gonna ask him about what Jpop stuff he liked) but a) it was hot outside, b) there's airconditioning inside, and c) I needed a drink. Danny comes running up to us and looks through the mag as well. Eventually it's me, Rica, Danny, and three more people sitting at the table looking through the mag. Interesting to say the least.

... funny thing is, I came out of school that day feelings strangely... normal. Nothing angsty or euphoric is unusual given the year's early patterns. It's refreshing... but so effing boring at the same time.

Skipping back to Jpop, anyone notice that Garbage's "Androgyny" sounds like Namie Amuro's "Something 'Bout the Kiss" ? Especially with that catchy riff Garbage uses. Perhaps they got some inspiration/ influence while touring Japan? Who knows.

And I adore Michelle Branch. Damn she can sing and play guitar. Like the female version of Holcombe Waller but only a bit more "pop" sounding.

Fuck it. I think I'll come out to everyone this year. Get it all over and done with so I don't have any hesitation to being honest with people... I was tempted to replace 'honest' with 'straight' back there...

Yeah, my life's boring at this point. Sorry for the lack of entertainment value.
