Yestereday wad Dad's day and oh what an adventure it was! Let us recap...
- Dad got to experience the thrills and excitments of French, English, Ceramics, Math, and history!
- For lunch we went to fogo de chao with mom to find out that margaret got accepted into the Rome programme, and also, has spent all her money!
- We went to the dad's day dance (mom chewed me out for not wearing stockings.... hooray!) which was decked out in mardi gras dec, and no one was on the dance floor!
- We got our characeture done, waited in line for an hour, and the lady sucked!
- We did dance on the dance floor, which was fun actually
- Went home to watch the beginning of conan obrien before i passed out in exaughstion.
today i woke up late! 1030! i was so excited to sleep in you have no idea. i love sleep. we went to go see confessions of a teenage drama queen. i can totally relate. but she had so much fake tanning junk on, it looked odd. i want her hair.
Spring is just around the corner, and although i'm in lvoe with winter, i do enjoy spring quite a bit. i like the sun, and the idea of school getting out. i like the beach, and the wind, and hot summer days in france... so yes i do like spring. only three months until school is out! woo hoo!
i think i'm going to start counting down.
Tonight my parents go to dinner. i hope i can convince chealsea L to come over to watch movies with me. that would be really fun. oh she could sleep over if she really wanted! we'll see. i also hope we can make a taco bell run sometime soon. and i want to go to nordstrom's rack.

church day! all the snow has melted! i'm so sad. tomorrow i'm trudging around the house in my pajamas and no one will stop me. and it'll be so hot.
a new phrase around the training room has started. its like, when ever someone falls on you, or starts spacing off. you go, "stop looking at my janet!" or "leave my janet alone!" or "ow! my janet!" sweet...
i've decided that i can't hate anything in life. like, i love it all. i love every tear and every breath. and i love the wind. and i love snow. and trees. and laughing. and everything. and i love boys! boys especially. they're so cute. i have a crush on eeeevery boy
i want a boyfriend. oh so badly.

its snowing. and its valentines day. and i have no one. anyway, i do have a bowl of ramen noodles.
this week has been very hectic, and next week will be even more so. i'm becoming incredibly exaughsted because i haven't slept in in quite a few weeks. on the weekends i've been waking up at like 730 for spc (cancelled) etc. so i'm very tired. and monday i have school off, but i still have seminary.
anyway, its beautiful outside. i love the snow. i connect. i cannot explain it. anyway, i'd better go. i want to make snow angels. and relive my childhood.

Now that that's over with, we can start getting dirty. First off, the Madonna collaboration. Utterly heinous. A friend of mine characterized "Me Against the Music" as sounding like "something out of a freaking video game," which, to me, sullies the name of video game music writers everywhere. (Then again, he also thought that when Britney whines, "I wanna get in the zoooone," she was actually saying, "I wanna get a P'Zoooone," the excellent Pizza Hut delicacy. So take his opinion for what it's worth.) Its too-slick, genetically-engineered-for-high-school-dances production does little to obscure the horrendous lyrics for which Britney actually earned a songwriter credit. B-Spurrs slings lyrical barbs like, "If you really wanna party/ send my love and get ya/ really to hit, you could die/ in a minute, I'mma take you on, I'mma take you on/ come on, yeah," and, "Take a drop and rock it!"
..........
The hits just keep on coming with "Breathe on Me," another depresingly empty track that sees Britney take her whirlwind technique of aural whoring to a whole new level, and again without even a sniff of actual musical validity. The song starts off with twenty seconds of deep panting, with Spears breaking only to say, "It's so hot in here." (All this talk about the buckets of sweat the girl drips and how darn hot it is wherever she goes really makes you wonder about the kind of conditions under which she records. Does she cut vocal tracks in a freaking rainforest? Do the people at Jive think that inundating the record with sweat makes Britney sexier? None of this makes sense. Britney Spears is so stupid.)
........
Britney's latest trainwreck was proposed as an album by an artist finding herself, getting in touch with her craft, and really showcasing everything that makes her unique and valuable. In the Zone accomplishes those goals completely; the only problem is, truly "finding" Britney Spears means realizing that there's nothing about her that's unique, valuable, or artistic. She's empty, personally bankrupt, and flat-out terrible. But if you needed a new album to tell you all that, then you obviously weren't listening at all in the first place.
