Christ, where to begin.

I hate cans. more specifically, I hate beverages in cans. I mean, think about it. First problem: you hold a can, fresh out of the fridge, and your hands get frostbite because metal is a better conductor of heat than plastic or glass. This not only means that your hand will turn black and fall off, but at the same time, your drink is getting warm. There's a double-whammy right there.

So what to do? Grab one of those awesome insulated can condoms, that's what. So you crack that can open, and take a couple sips. But then you have to take a piss. This is when you encounter the second problem: cans aren't resealable. So, this either means that you have to put it down and trust your friends to not "spill" tabasco sauce (or something worse) in your drink, or you could bring it into the piss-encrusted, pube-littered public bathroom with you and set it on top of a urinal while you relieve yourself. Yum.

You decide to stash it under the couch, where various bugs crawl into it. But it's okay because they're small and add flavour. You probably don't even notice them as you finish off the drink. But wait. It's the third problem: there's that last bit in the can. You tip it completely upside-down, but you can't get at it. You shake it about a bit, and some splashes on your face, but it won't all come out. In anger, you throw the can down, frustrated with its very existence. And... what's this? No! No!! Noooooo!!! The last bit dribbles out of the can, causing the fourth problem: the sticky floor (which is pretty tightly entwined with problem two). Never mind the stuff that got on the can condom, I'm not even going to go there.

Not to mention that they're smaller than bottles. And they can cut you a lot if you tear them in half (granted, glass can, too, but who uses glass for soda bottles anymore? Oh. Wait. Yeah. No one. Well... excepting root beer companies). So, you know, maybe cans were a good idea, like... 50 years ago, but come on, people! Get with the times! Don't even get me going on the small ones. *grumble*

Well, that was entirely too long, and yet, I can see there are flaws in my argument. Which I could easily fix, except that I don't feel like typing about cans anymore. Hm.

Finals are this week, and then I go back to Utica. I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand, I'll be home with my family (yay), but on the other hand, I won't have much to do, since Craig is leaving for grad school (boo). I'll have a better job, so I can buy things that I want (yay), it will be full-time (boo), and it will pay more than Radio Shack (yay). Also, I'll just have to work, instead of working, going to class and doing homework (yay). But I will have to leave behind air conditioning and comfy beds and sleep in my attic (which is cool in its own right) on a squeaky, saggy, pokey mattress (double-boo). I guess we'll see. if it sucks, I'll complain about it later.

I'll type at you again soon. Till then.

Okay, so I went to the [Sister Machine Gun] show in buffalo last night. All I have to say is that it pretty much solidified them as my most-goddamn-favouritest-band-on-the-face-of-the-planet- or-that-will-exist-ever, ever, evar.

[Manufactura] also put on a killer set, especially for one guy sitting there tweaking a mixer. Da-yum. Good stuff.

I got to meet the lead singer of SMG and got a signed DVD. I stayed up till 4:45, slept for a couple hours, then went to work at 8:00 till 4:00 unable to hear much of anything and falling asleep while standing (I got better as the day went on, and I'm wide awake and fully able to hear now). All in all, an excellent experience!

I had the following conversation with my brother tonight:

Jess: (tab)
Jeff: ?
Jess: Tab is a fun key.
Jess: Say it out loud: tab.
Jeff: Dont do nothin4 me
Jess: Tab tab tab tab tab.
Jeff: Taaaaaab!
Jeff: Taboo!
Jess: Tab tab, tabtabtab tab taab, tabtabtab tab taab, tabtabtabtab, tab tab.
Jess: (It's the Hava Nagida tab remix!!!)
Jeff: .......
Jess: Hava Nagila*
Jeff: Riiight
Jess: [hava_nagila.mid]
Jeff: .......
Jess: C'mon!!!!
Jeff: Wow ur an idiot
Jess: Pfft. Philistine.

So, yeah. I'm weird today. I blame it on the lack of sleep. But, then again, I don't really have any excuse for other days when I'm like this. I guess I'll blame it on lack of sleep then, too.

I got new glasses today. This is a good thing because my previous pair met their untimely demise one night when I fell asleep with them on. Death by elbow.

So [here's] the new ones (pardon me looking like ass). I had to get my pupils dilated, and I figured I'd make the most of it, so [here's] one of the eyes. Funny looking, no?

Okay, I'm up waaaay past my bedtime, so this is going to be a quick update. But there are drunk guys outside my door talking in a very animated fashion, and they're preventing me from sleeping, so I figured I'd do something productive until they went away.

I've actually drawn something new, believe it or not. I implore you to [check it out]. I have recieved reports that it's "cute"... apologies in advance for the somewhat lousy scanning job. It's lousy because I didn't use a scanner; I took a picture of it with my digicam. So... yeah, well, that's all.

The [Domination Tour] is coming up on the 7th, and I am very excited indeed. Craig will be accompanying me, and it promises to be a rockin' night. w00t. (:

I think the drunkards have passed out... They're at least not quite so loud anymore. Time to attempt sleep. Maybe I'll update more tomorrow or something (hahaha!)...
