Lazy Days Become Too Lazy

I am not opposed to your initiative in changing the template. It seems much more interesting now.

So, I just watched the finale of MBLAQ Hello Baby... even though I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I enjoyed SHINee Hello Baby, I still cried at the end, because there were too many goodbyes, and since the kids were older they understood what it meant more than Yoogeun did. And you know how it makes the tears flow to see grown men crying because they have to say goodbye to kids for good.

Plus, I mean, I guess G.O. is pretty awesome in general.

So I recently discovered this band LEDApple. I don't know if you have heard their music before. It is a little different. I mean, they are a band like with a drummer and stuff, only they're all futuristic and their instruments are like, a bit odd. I actually have no idea what they are. They're not with a major label and they're not even that popular but all their music videos have this oddly high-budget feel to them. Like this one. It is also a little creepy but I like it. And then there's this one, which is pretty different. I think they keep changing members. Maybe that's it. I heard that one of their lead vocalists left the band because he had tuberculosis, of all things.

This has been a really long weekend. I wish I had more to do because honestly today has been one lazy day too many. I have a lot of stuff I want to do but I can't do any of it until getting home, like working off some of my substantial debt, and I feel a little detached from the finals frenzy that people seem to be in. None of my important finals are happening until Wednesday. Today I went to go sell back some of my books. As you may recall, I spent close to $300 on textbooks at the beginning of the semester, and when I took back the majority of them today, I was only able to get $20 in return for them. It really made me mad because I was kind of counting on at least $70 or so to go towards paying my tax debt.

So there's that. I think when I get home, I am going to go to Louisburg to apply for summer jobs. I expect that priority will be given to high school students, but I have work experience so maybe I can sell my skills more effectively. Only one way to find out, I suppose. I'm sick of feeling like a hungry money-eating machine with no useful output. Being grown up sucks sometimes.

I have been writing to pass the time. Even though these are lazy days I am incapable of being bored, as you know. I think my roommate probably thinks I'm weird because I spent about four hours last night writing one thing in a notebook. I really don't like typing out my stories usually because it feels creatively stifling. Lately I have felt a little creatively stifled just because I don't know. There are no rules to how creative feelings come and go. Anyway so I wrote out the beginning of this story which I am sure is complete rubbish but it was a good exercise.

Now, I will write some more and maybe study things (like I said, my first real final isn't until Wednesday), and I will also listen to Busker Busker because they just give me so much joy, and joy is good to have on days like this.

For some reason, in a lot of their songs the main singer keeps talking to the drummer, who's the white guy. "Hey, Brad, do you know 막걸리?" "오 ~ 막걸리 좋아요!" I am not sure what the purpose of it is, but it makes me laugh.

P.S. Busker Busker has a song called 감기 걸렸어. I felt a strong sense of victory when I knew what it meant right away without having to look up any words. Ah, triumph.
