Does anyone have the song "Radio Tokyo" by Marvelous 3?  I really want it…

Radio Tokyo
by Marvelous 3
album: ReadySexGo (2000)

Seven hours later
She takes the elevator
To the second floor
To the underground commitee

That's where they'll decide if
You'll be praised or you'll be tied up
On the bathroom floor
As you scream for more

PRE-CHORUS:
All the souls are dying
While the idiots are trying
To convince you that they're cooler
But they still don't know
They're about to lose control
And they'll be saying now

CHORUS:
Calling radio Tokyo
The lines are down, you're good to go
Now can't you feel
This is real
Calling radio Tokyo
The kids are feeling way too low
They're on their knees
Won't somebody please just bring them home

Get out of the black car
On the sidewalk of the big stars
Of the now and then
Kinda feels a little late

Someone had a bad day
So they sold your soul on Ebay
With an 8 x 10
Autographed in pen

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

Seven hours later
They stopped the elevator
To the second floor
And there was no more

CHORUS

Whoa-oa-oa-oa
Yeah!



So much going on…

I'm glad the JetBlue disaster was averted…I love that airline!

With hurricaine Rite coming in, Bush has pledged to be ready this time.  In one fell swoop he not only confirmed how inept he is as a president, how little he did in the wake of Katrina, but also how egotistical he really is…/sarcasm: what a suprise that he would help Texas, I wonder why he would do such a thing /end sarcasm.

I just watched the video on the making on End of Ages…I really liked it, except it didn't talk about URU at all…it's such an important part of the Myst series, I don't see how they could just disregard it (oh wait, they showd the CC box once…).

Well, back to work (and EoA) I go!



"Briefly he looked about him at the room he'd made, pleased by his efforts, then, picking up his pen again, he began to write, setting down the final words. The ending that was not a final ending."
-Deg

I think Deg said it perfectly.  There is still hope for Cyan Worlds, but I don't forsee anything anytime soon.

Ok – for those reading this who aren't Myst fans (a.k.a. – anyone who isn't Tim…hehehe), the company that created Myst (and Riven, URU and End of Ages and worked with Exile and Revelation) has ceased to be.  Getting the E-mail from Ubi saying End of Ages shipped I think solidified it in my mind…it feels so weird.  It should be here in a couple days…I can't wait, and yet I don't want it to be over…

Part of me too is worried that I'll make the wrong choice in the game and won't be able to go back and see all the endings…but I'm sure that won't be the case, I"m sure I can play through again and do it differently if I have the time.

Part of me also thinks that Latus was/is going to be in the D'niverse….just not connected to Atrus, Catherine, Gehn, Anna, Sirrus, Achenar or Yeesha, but hopefully we'll find out.

Other than that, just working on homework and stuff….in case you haven't found out…our normal 4-square time is going to be Sunday nights at 11 outside of Gerry.  Come out and take a break from studying and bring some friends!



Well, I finally got MSN to work last night, crisis averted (At least for now) – Thanks Tim!

My Aztek looks like this, but it is white:

In other news, same stuff as always I suppose.  I really question myself when I talk…becasue I know when I speak my mind, people get offended and hurt.  I see where other people are coming from (in and out of conversation), but you'd have thought I've learned my lesson to just shut up…nah.  So on that note, I'm going to disappear today, possibly tomorrow as well, at least then I won't be around to cause trouble!

Have a great one everybody!



So quick note – MSN Messenger decided to stop working today….sorry about that Tim, hopefully I"ll be able to get it working soon.  I hope you got my messages while I was frantically being signed in and out….it was like MSN was having a seizure

The Luau was yesterday, four ambulances this year…part of me feels bad for the people who went to the hospital, most of me hopes this campus will learn it's lesson (but it probably won't).

Other than that, things have been going I suppose, I had a "meeting" with Jamie, basically I told him I almost quit The Review and he found a way to make it my fault…no suprise there.

Life continues on as it must I suppose, hopefully I'll be able to do something fun tonight.



I really don't know what to say, things have been so crazy.

I'm stuck in the middle of a staff that is fighting, the administrators are only paying attention to me and agreeing to meet with me beause I was on the verge of quitting.

It feels so weird to be here this weekend, it's like I all of my friends who left abandonded me and were trying to get away from me, it's kinda confusing.

I did go out on Saturday (Jolene came with me!) and I got the last of my posters laminated and hung up, got cigars and got shampoo!

Bobbie and Teri are here and I'm meeting them for brunch, I"m so excited!



Figured I'd do an update.

School has started, thank goodness!

Turned 21 – didn't go out.  Didn't drink at all (still haven't).  Granted, my family thinks I'm a drunk and that I got wasted, and like to remind me every change they get that that is what they think of me….pisses me off to no end.

Ad club is starting up again…becasue we have our case study already whoo hoo!!

E-zine is getting going as well…whoo hoo!

Have a great one!



This is the update I posted at uruobsession

Day 2:

My best friend lived in Gerry (Dorm) for the summer. He's an RA (although we call them prefects) in the freshmen dorm (St. Benedict).

So today I help him move, as he has to be out of his room by early tomorrow morning so they can clean, put down new carpet in the hallway and get it ready for the Orientation committee (which mostly live in Gerry).

So we spend the day packing and moving his things to St. Benedict.

St. Benedict is used as the media center for the Steeler's training camp (except for ESPN, they get their own building when they come). If you ever see reports from training camp or press conferences those are happending either inside our (most likely) outside St. Benedict Hall (in fact, some news reporters will say "Live from St. Benedict Hall, this is ______")

It's 12:45 a.m. We have one last trip of things to move in. The biggest things.

The couch
The armchair (free and falling apart but really comfy)
Two floor lamps

We get to the parking lot, take out the couch. I go around to open the side door and I get stopped by some middle aged man who I've never seen before. He asked where I was going, I explained the situation and he gets mad!

He spouts off about how it is so nice and gracious of them to let the RA's move in early (if not, they get less than 24 hours and normally have to pull an all-nighter between the ending of their training and when the freshman arrive) and how we can't move in becasue people are on the 4th floor.

No one is on the fourth floor, hence he could move in early (if there were, he wouldn't be able to).

He tells us we have to come back during normal business hours…8 – 4 (these are not normal business hours, not even here on campus, which has some odd hours).

He starts dropping names, not realizing how influential I really am on this campus…(I meet regularly with the President and Vice-Chancellor, Archabbot, Dean of Students, SGA President and director of Public Relations).

It's just so frustrating….my friend and I have each paid over $100,000 to go to this school and we are treated as second class citizens becasue we aren't the Steelers.

I really do love SVC, it's just been a very stressful couple of days, and this made me feel even worse….cry.gif



Today I hang my marker board and marker.  I head to lunch and then help Brad move his couch and chair up to Benny.  I come back…there is a note on my board, ok, no biggie.

It was a note from the construction workers to themselves saying they need to change my air filter, ok, that's fine.

Except…

The marker is gone.

They untied my marker and took it.  They didn't even leave it tied so it looked like if fell…they untied it and took it!

Ahhhhhh, so frustrating!
