Rapchop. Check it out.

I still don't have much to say, but here's what I've been watching, in case anyone has a burning desire to know what this Tie-dyed Ninja's into these days.

1. Rapchop, definitely. Coolest commercial remix ever.
2. Twilight...Only Better. So lame, I can't watch it without cracking up. Well, lame's not the right word. More like, awesome.
3. Do You Like Waffles? Yeah, I like waffles!
   
4. Geddy Lee bass line to YYZ. Incredible. Geddy's so my idol
5. A Song About Acne is just so cool. Real talented dude.
6. The Purple Man is fantastic. Same guy from the Song About Acne.
7. Ok Go's Here It Goes Again music video. I so wanna do this some day.

And that's about it. I'll try to come up with something better to post.

No. That Just Can't Happen. No no no no no.

Dotted quarter notes make me want to cry. I can't deal with them. I see one dotted quarter note and I break out in a sweat. "I have to play that??? NO way." There is no way around my fear of dotted quarter notes.

I'm playing piano again, and my new teacher assigned me four new songs. And guess what they all have in common? DOTTED QUARTER NOTES. Silent night, Deck the halls, America the beautiful, Here comes the bride. I only have to do one line from each, but the Silent Night one may be the worst. It's the least ammount of notes, but it's horrible. I only have to do the "Si-lent night, Ho-ly night" part. But I can't handle it. It gives me a headache if I try to play the first measure more than twice. The whole 3/4 time measure doesn't help either. It's like, "One, two-and-three, one. . . " and my mind can't do that. My teacher won't let me go, "one-and-two-and-three-and" throughout any of my songs. She says to just say "one two three" till there's an eighth note, so in Silent Night I'd have to say, "One two-and-three, one two three, one two-and-three, one two three".

I. CAN'T. DO. THAT.

Orzo

Orzo is amazing. Nothing is cooler than cheesy orzo. Except maybe cheesy pastini. But I think Orzo might even top that. Orzo ROCKS.

Locker rooms and Obama

So many things happen in the locker rooms at school. Its a place where sixth, seventh, and eighth graders all come together to do the same thing: change into clothes that make you feel like a stupid tent. Everyone's uncomfortable at first, until you become friends with your row-mates. Everyone tries to change as fast as possible, and always hope that The Popular Girl is either too preoccupied talking to her popular friends to say something mildly rude, or is absent that day (even better). And the conversations in there are just weird. Like that one i had with my locker-mate and choir-buddy A* the other day. About who we'd hate to have ruling the world...

Me: Wouldn't it be scary if Gabby (my best friend and total nut job, in a good way!!) ruled the world? We'd be totally doomed!! *laughs*

A: *laughing* Yeah. That would be scary. You know, there are just some people you really DON'T want to be ruling the world.

Me: Like Gabby!! A: Yeah! And my mom!

Me: *laughing* Yeah, haha!! Mine too!!

A: *laughing* And Mrs. Burger*!

Me: TOTALLY!!

Together: *crack up*




Obama's cool. He makes me happy. He seems like more of a real person that you'd be able to relate to. Whenever I see the Obamas I can't help but smile. They're not fake happy. They're just happy. If you look on iTunes, there is an album of songs about Obama. There's also an iMix of songs inspired by Obama. Even the mega-popular song Live Your Life by Rihanna and someone else (I forgot who) that they play on KIIS FM all the time is inspired by Obama-Rama!! There's a song on iTunes called I Have A Crush On Obama and one called There's No One as Irish As Obama!!! And now there's a band called The Obama Mamas!!!! There's only one thing I have left to say. . .

OBAMA-RAMA ROCKS YO' MAMA'S LLAMAS!!!!
