So, it’s the weekend again, right?

Pretty amazing how quickly the days are going by. Fourth quarter and we’re already past the interim mark. There are about two weeks of actual school left and then blissful summer. I can’t wait.

Last week SOLs finished, but then who really worries about SOLs? I got my scores back. Perfect on the World history and pass advanced on Chemistry. I just wish we’d get AP scores back.  APs were the real bother and they’ve already been finished for a while now.

It keeps raining. All this humidity is getting on my nerves. >__<””

I understand the flowers need rain, but we’re halfway through June! Can’t we have more than one nice day a week? That is if you can call the warmer days nice. Usually, it’s so humid that the warmth feels muggy and disgusting. Bleh.

So I got Green day’s 21^st century breakdown yesterday. It’s not like American Idiot. The style is a lot softer. Lots of ‘waaaooohhs’. The lyrics are decent, but not relevant in that American Idiot was. That is to say, it’s a lot of pretend teenage rebellion belied by excessive sound treatment. Not to mention ‘chorus’ lines that come up one too many times. The songs sound ‘heavy’, but there’s not much harmony or synchronization. Definitely not Shiina Ringo or Jamie Cullum. I don’t know why I was expecting so much from this album. No wait, I remember! New York Times and Washington Post gave it good reviews. Last time I trust a newspaper movie review. 

On the first listen, I was totally repulsed and disappointed. But as I listen to it more and louder, it’s becoming better.

Oh, and I saw Star Trek last weekend. See, I’m an otaku. I love the original series. And I expected for the Star Trek movie to be along the lines of the series. You know, deep scientific and moral queries paired with awesome sets and a edgy social issues. Not to mention a decent cast.

The movie was not like that. It was a good movie. If you hadn’t seen the series and weren’t expecting any sort of respectable science. It was hokey, in short. Lots of quippy one liners from caricatures of the actual characters. Not to mention the final Spock character death. ;___;

Also saw Terminator. Warning, If you go to see this one without seeing the others you will most likely be very confused. Also, if you were expecting lots of shot of Christian Bale, be prepared to be disappointed. They follow around another, significantly less awesome, character. -___-“

UP! Was good. I went into a theatre with a lot of little kids who were totally confused by it. Kinda reminds me of when I went to see Bolt (during the climatic scene: mommy, why are there two doggies?). Nevertheless, it was good aside from that. Although it’s just a little bit too sad and introspective for a younger crowd, I really liked it. :D

I’m skipping the rant because I am, as usual, sick and trying to desperately make up work. -___-“
