Congratulations to Me

First off, this is my 50th blog post. Wow. I didn't think I would get there. Let's party!

I guess my gift is another snow storm. Schools in Johnstown got out early today, and I'm holding out for a third snow day so I can finally start typing my LMU essays.

I've been working on a poetry project for AP English. I'm reporting on Eating Poetry which has a theme of feeding attractions. Which reminds me of reading over 150 pages of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on Saturday. I finally finished the book at Alaina's birthday party.


Needless to say, I really liked the Swedish crime thriller. It was cool, sexy, and new. I guess I'll have to read the other two novels in the trilogy in the summer.


A little later tonight, I'm going to crash on my couch with some coffee and blankets to watch the Swedish movie. Thank God for Netflix on the Wii. Just saying.



America is working on its own version of the film. Because it's directed by David Fincher, it should be awesome. We'll find out next Christmas. That is if the Mayans are wrong, and we don't blow up before then.

Anyway, only 12 more days until this Christmas!

In Love Again

My sister Addison turned ten about three weeks ago. Unfortunately, her party was canceled because she had pneumonia. So, we had the party tonight.

My brothers headed to the high school football game, but I stayed behind because I have adult things to do now.

Just kidding.
I actually had to lead musical chairs and finalize some college essays. I boycott football anyway.

I have to get to bed early because I have a cross country invitational tomorrow. So, I don't have time for any in-depth blogging although I need some right now.
On Sunday, I'm going to attmept to write three essays and read Hamlet among other things. (Yeah... right.)

For now, I want to do something I should have done awhile ago: introduce my latest girlfriend.

Meet Florence Welch.

She's from England. She is in a band called Florence + the Machine. I recently bought the album Lungs.

The music is good. She's cool. And best of all, she is real. I want to drive around town with her in strange outfits and drink tea (which I don't even like).

She has officially been added to the"People Chad Wants to See in Concert" List.(along with Coldplay, OK GO, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, and Lady Gaga)

Check out "Heavy in Your Arms". Yes, it's from Eclipse - told you it had good music.

The video actually creeps me out (and it's edited down), but I like the black and white. Watch any of her other videos. They are all Certified White Boy Fresh.
