(in the dark) the shine of small things

The Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana version of the Little Mermaid's Part of Your World? is terrible. TERRIBLE. There is nothing about it that does not exude wrongness. It's so bad I couldn't even bring myself to upload it so you could listen and judge for yourself.

She's a cute little thing and I don't mind what I've seen of her show, but So. Bad.

++ Do people still enjoy Panic!ATD, like when they first dropped? Because I was very into them last semester and now I would really like them to go away. A little.

People I kinda want to see in concert, but can't so much: Timberlake/Pink in March, Fall Out Boy in January, Aimee this week in Richmond. Alas. Sister Hazel was in town this past weekend, which yeah, how did I resist? ;) I got an email notification last week that Thursday's comingt the Norva in late January and I'm back and forth on going. Tickets are only $18 which is of the good. But I only really know/like 6 songs of theirs, and most of those off War All The Time. And then I don't even know about that whole crowd. Okay I'm not really back and forth on going; I'm not gonna go. But I thought about it. Nothing personal, boys.

Is Dallas Green back with Alexisonfire?

++ Zito has made the Mets his collective bitch. Their front office is flying out to Cali to see him today. Classic. "No, I know what New York looks like. You come here and tell me you think I'm pretty."

I mean, I still hope they don't budge too much on the 70mil offer. But Barry William makes me laugh.

++ In case you were wondering, Beyonce's Irreplaceable is just as annoying in Spanish as it is in English.

++ [Bad username or site: johnnybvo / @ livejournal.com]: And the fact that you're falling in love with The Timberlake all over kind of cracks me up. You'll deny it sure, but I just know you're crafting a shrine for dude in the back of your closet...right next to the ones for Jeter and Tom Welling.

>:[ First of all, Tom Welling? When have I...ever? NEVER. That's when. And I just really need to not watch when people I dislike are gonna be on SNL. Because they inevitably win me over a little. (Number of times 'Christmas In A Box' was viewed yesterday? Approximately 157.) Ah well. I can hope for Justin to return to pissing me the fuck off in short order. Derek Jeter certainly did. I have no shrine for the Yankee Asshole Who Leaves Teammates Out To Dry And Then Keeps Denying That's What He's Doing Instead Of Just Shutting Up And Holding His Personal Grudge Quietly. I assure you.

My first day free and clear of school stuff, so I told myself I would finally clean the apartment, because it's been a mess for about a month now. Like, an i'mpullingshoesoutofmybedwhenIgotosleep mess. So. Yes. Of course, that probably just means I will find the time and inspiration to start scanning A's magazines >.>

Someone keeps calling me, and I'm not answering the phone because I'm not in the mood. Still, three times in the past 20 minutes.

And granted, whomever it is can't leave a message because I never set up my voicemail. You know why I never set up my voicemail? Because when I set up voicemail on my room phone in the past, people left me messages, messages they expected me to actually listen to and return, and I have never been good at that outside of an office.

I'd unplug the phone but I'd have to get up. And then I'd forget to plug it back in and my mother would yell at me because she called me at 7 in the morning and I didn't answer.

I don't know how anyone can really be my friend and not know how I feel about the phone. I swear, I should hand out a cheatsheet or something.

Anyway.

The new Brand New album finally leaked. And did the boys decide to try a whole new sound or something? I'm no Brand New expert, not even a hard core fan, I just liked a few songs off the last record, but this new one...doesn't sound very much like them. There's less screaming, for one. And the songs are more polished, production-wise, maybe? I like it, mostly. It's just not what I expected.

I did not like the new Everclear, [Bad username or site: phantom_hpuff / @ livejournal.com] :(

Am I fundamentally flawed if I end up never understanding why the Beatles are so amazing? Is it like when someone says to me "god, why do you like baseball? it's so boring!" and then I want to punch them in the face? :/ Because I don't want to be that person. I mean, the two songs that I like, I like A LOT. I should get points for that. Yes.
