i would just like to state how absolutely awesome Garbage is. they do not have a single bad song. even the not-great songs kick ass. i mean, they're my favorite band and all so i guess this is just opinion....but they're so listenable. and versatile. i mean, compare Cherry Lips to Stroke of Luck to Medication to Cup of Coffee to Lick the Pavement to everything else they've done....very different sounds. why oh why don't they ever come to Maine??? because i'd throw myself at Shirley??? i know they're international but other international acts have been here....they haven't toured since November, i want them to go back on the road damnit!! oh well....someday i hope.

otherwise, i'd like some input for my comic....possible fish mutations?? or any other creative mutations for animals and plants. i've already got rats, apples, carrots, worms and potatoes, and possibly snails (they look like friggin Cthulhu, i guess i need to do some more work so as not to be accused of stealing, but damn he is so cute!!). so any ideas would be greatly appreciated. these don't have to be realistic, mind you, anything you think would be cool, like things growing to gigantic sizes....i had one idea about the oceans only being inhabited by grossly giant squids because they were one of the only things to survive the fallout, being so far underwater, and they grew too, and will grab their prey from the shore without coming anywhere near the surface....but i could make em look cool too. i'm relying on giantism for the other species a little too much tho. which is why i need the help of you guys to come up with some other ideas.

so today i took my road test....and failed. i guess i did everything perfectly except i cut my left turns (a problem i've had since i learned how to drive) and i rely on my mirrors too much (thus risking blind spottedness). i didn't really mind failing, i wasn't expecting to pass because i know lots of people don't. and now i know exactly what i need to be careful of next time (on the 12th). hopefully i get the same guy, he was really awesome. he said he hoped he got to ride with me too, cuz we found out we had a lot in common. he was an older guy and i think he was wearing a military outfit or something, BUT he hates Republicans!! plus i found out his brother works for Marvel so we talked about comics a lot, we agreed that Ben Affleck sucks but Daredevil was lame to begin with anyway. and his childhood best friend is the brother of a guy i've met before (who's a total nutcase). he also told me he almost cried when George Harrison died (after finding my mom's Harrison cd in the pocket of the passenger side door), which i definitely empathized with. i was generally told that when you take your test the people are really mean and won't talk to you, but i guess that's not always the case. plus when he gave me my eye test he didn't restrict me to my glasses, which Mike, my driver's ed driving instructor guy, told me they would the moment they found out i had glasses.

not much else is up in my little corner of the world. still working on my comics, i wish i did have more time but this summer will definitely be a good time to get some hardcore cartooning done (i hope). i'm thinking of putting Commando Rats into the epic comic, since i drew one in class one day and i really like the little bugger. hey, its MY radioactive mutated world, i'll mutate things how i want!!

work is still lame and the government is still stealing my money. bastards. i don't want to pay for thier fucked up little delusional wars but unless i want to be jobless again i guess i don't have a choice. i'd rather pay to feed starving orphans or something, but Republicans hate the starving.

so...when are finals for seniors? cuz....i don't know if creative writing has one, and i don't know if i should just stop going to class when all the seniors do or hang around till the end of the year. i guess i technically can leave when everyone else does since i'm a senior. but i don't mind going to the one class. plus if i went i could stay late and have Sean work on my hair, which he still hasn't done but i just haven't been able to stay. well, whatever.

nothing else to say, plus i'm getting sleepy. lata.
