Saturday LVIII: 27 February 2010

I hope that I can still count my resolution of watching a movie every weekend complete.  I can’t watch mine this week because my sister took it to college a whole state away.  I think that’s a good enough reason.  I was supposed to watch The Purple Rose of Cairo, but, alas, I cannot.

I did, however, listen to my album – Jim Croce’s debut album (which I didn’t know when I bought it) – Facets.  It’s good.  It’s a bit more raw-sounding than his later work, but still good nonetheless.  It’s a bit echo-y, but I think it benefits from that.  It’s gives it a more esoteric quality.  Whatever “esoteric” means.  “Special, rare, or unusual interest”  Thank you, Noah Webster.

I’m starting to think that perhaps this deal of listening to a different album every week (not to mention listening to all 6,000+ songs on my Zune before 2010 is over) is starting to have an adverse effect on me.  I’m starting to think that I actually have musical skill.  My basic prerogative is just to write a few stupid songs and have some fun with it.  That’s it.  Maybe though, my stupid little songs are better than what’s out there now.  I don’t know.  Again, I’m just entertaining stupid dreams that I have. 

In other news, I have only one day left of my current classes.  Monday the last day for AP English and German.  Well, except for the two study sessions and AP test.  I can take that though.  I’ve had most of my finals.  I have only physics to do on Monday.  Then I get new classes:

• Psychology 2
• Economics
• Expository Writing
• French II 2
• Physics 2

I had to decide on the way I’m pronouncing economics.  There are two pronunciations, and I’ve used them interchangeably thus far.  However, I’m choosing one over the other now.  I pronounce it so that it sounds like “Eek!  A nomix!”  That’s the whole reasoning for the pronounciation – so that it would also sound like I’m scared of some terrible monster – a nomix.  I tried to illustrate what a nomix would look like on the back of my psychology notes I think back in January, but it didn’t turn out too well.  I’ll have to try again.
