July 22
Pretty much today was the same as yesterday in that we (Thom & I) just went through a bunch of the CD-Rs to try to find some treasures. I found some Bruce Springsteen song that had apparently only been available on the Internet. Also, I found this neat recording from a science teacher who uses popular songs and changes the lyrics to teach about science. For instance, he uses the melody from YMCA to teach about S-K-I-N. It was cute. And, apparently it works, so says his Web site. There's a bunch of post-9/11 patriotic recordings that I listened to also. There's a LOT of crap too. I mean, it's like any loser out there who wants to make a CD does so and then sends it to the Copyright office. Talent not required. I will admit that I heard some okay bands, too, though. I mean, that Bruce Springsteen has some talent.
Anyway, I guess that is going to be our afternoon project from now on (all 15 more days!) but I plan on going back to cataloging Monday morning. I'm not sure about Thom, though. I heard him tell someone that he was going to be doing this for a week and a half. Oy. While doing nothing but listening to music may sound like a fun job, it gets boring fast. I mean, don't forget that most of this music SUCKS.
So, I spent some of the day slacking off with Ali (and without Ali) since it is her last day today. She promised me a tour and maybe a place to stay in Providence if I find myself there this fall (so if anyone's up for a road trip...)!! It's good that she is leaving because I went out to lunch with her a couple times this week and spent a fortune. Money isn't really an issue with her. The food was good, at least. We went to Tortilla Coast and Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar. Because of Ali's leaving I did get an early glimpse of the nonsense that is required when we leave this place. Lots of running around to get signatures. We aren't allowed to keep our stacks pass OR our ID, which bums me out. I mean, they both expire on August 12th so I don't see what the big deal would be if we wanted to keep them as souvenirs.
That's about all. My parents are due in this evening so I'll be hanging out with them all weekend. That saves me from having to come up with things to do just to get away from the apartment where I'm staying, which is basically what I do every weekend: try to spend as little time there as I can.
