well godammit. i was so excited about my math exam grade, almost certain i got above a 90, which would definitely help my chances of passing this class, and i get online this afternoon finally to find that i got an 82. what an ugly number. though i suppose it is a step towards passing.. i just have to make a 60 or above on the next two tests and then i make a D. if Ds count, i'm not sure.. but she had a range of numbers that would equal a D on the syllabus so i'm guessing they count. college is dumb.

i love dave grohl. is it any wonder the only three good songs on the radio are all involving him? new nirvana, new foo, new queens of the stoneage. rock n roll. he is the king midas of rock. the foo fighters album is good but not as good as i thought i'd think it would be.. maybe it'll grow on me like coldplay has - what is with the best song on albums being the single? that used to not be so. the colour and the shape is still my favorite, and the one after that is probably better than this one a little.. i need to buy that, i have it on tape somewhere. and i'd like to get whatever came before the colour and the shape. that was heavier, i remember it from beavis and butthead. ;)

i'm going to start volunteering tuesday and thursday afternoons at that jazz station. i'm excited. the production manager is a buddhist who loves irish setters. the rest of the gang are a little weird, but it could be a good thing. they all are a little spacy - it's all the jazz.

speaking of spacey, kevin is starring in a new movie with kate winslet about a guy on death row for something he didn't do b/c the man is trying to take him down for being one of the lead opponents of the death penalty. woo. nick cage did some producing i think.. he does that a lot now. he's going to get an oscar for playing charlie kaufman in Adaption, which looks tremendous. i love the song in the preview, it gives that right feeling.

my english prof is so great and let me sit on the side of the classroom while he did my james dean presentation for me, having me answer a few questions the kids and he had, which was so excellent because i knew i couldn't handle the presentation but i also wanted to forcefeed the kiddies some scandalous james dean information for fun, and a few lapped it up like good little puppies - so i got the best of both worlds, it was a lovely experience, if not a little frightening and embarrassing. most often-asked question on questionnaires - why did he do your presentation for you? heh now to make a sexy collage of james pictures to put on handout i have to give them late.

everyone says i love you and annie hall are the best woody allen films. the first is so damn happy it's hilarious. his veil of pessimism was lifted for a time i guess.

song clips for the day:
"under pressure..."
"uh like a sex machine-a..." gotta love james brown
