highs and lows

This week has been finals weeks, so I've been busy. Not with finals. With doing the work I haven't done until now. For instance, reading two classic books (Emma, and Slaughterhouse-Five) and writing reader responses for them (where every 25 pages you summarize and comment), and analysis on Emma, and a essay on Brave New World. Gahhrh. So those are my lows.
We've just moved to a new house. Right next to the cop shop, as I affectionetly refer to it. Or, the Police Station. Kitty corner to the library and a block away from the high school. Yeah, everything's that close together here.
Okay why the FUCK does it smell like goddamn meatballs in this house?
I like music, but more importantly I like songs. Usually I find one song I like and listen to it religilously until I get bored or find a better song. Previous Songs of the Week for me have been: Life On Mars? -David Bowie, Space Oddity- Bowie, Human- The Killers, Blue Moon- Dean Martin, Love Me Dead- Ludo, Mustang Sally-The Commitments, You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You-Dean Martin, Spaceman-The Killers, Drunken Lament-Ludo, I'm A Fool To Want You- Frank Sinatra, I've Got You Under My Skin- Frank Sinatra, Stuttering-Ben's Brother, Ghosts Are Everywhere- The Presidents Of The United States Of America, Common People- Pulp, and anyway, this week it's I Don't Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats (and Buddy Holly's Maybe Baby.) Mondays is a good song, it's catchy and House played it on House, MD once. The one with Dave Matthews. And now they use it on the commercial for House. Anyway, song because it was actually based off of this girl, this 16 year old, who went out and shot up a schoolyard of children and when asked why she did it, she said, "I don't like Mondays, this livens up the day." This girl was fucking nuts but honestly, what an answer.
Okay now I've got work to do (read: SparkNotes bitches! WHOOT!) and an essay and analysis to write.
