They&#8217;re pretentious as fuck and the music sucks ass. I realize how pretentious and ass-sucking I sound by saying this. But am I missing something?<br \/>\nThese past few days have been eventful! I mentioned all this stuff in the past few blogs but I might as well recap a bit.<br \/>\nI took a break from the usual routine of a bit of web design and gardening now and then by taking a trip to Los Angeles with Hannah and crew. I was only there two nights but it&#8217;s the longest I&#8217;d ever spent there &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t as unpleasant as I thought it&#8217;d be. She and I did a lot of walking and some bussing, and everything worked out well. We ate some great Japanese and Thai, and the concert (we went to LA because of Beau&#8217;s band playing) was intensely enjoyable. I sold some o&#8217; their CDs and had to pretend as if I knew anything about <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.cambodianlivingarts.org\/\">Cambodian Living Arts<\/a>.<br \/>\nThen the next day was Junior Senior with <a HREF=\"http:\/\/pheardapowah.livejournal.com\">Paolo<\/a> in the city. Coincidentally, the venue was just across the street from where my mom owns an apartment (so maybe we could have parked there), but parking wasn&#8217;t a problem. There was much dancing to be had, and we even saw <a HREF=\"http:\/\/avancrane.livejournal.com\">Will<\/a> and Derek and Mari so that was neat too. Junior Senior was great live! Obviously a lot more energetic (and louder). A very good experience &#8211; I hope to get into the music scene once in Seattle and hope every time&#8217;s like that one.<br \/>\nAnd today was Marin Shakespeare&#8217;s Henry IV, pt. 1. Sat with <a HREF=\"http:\/\/soygirl.livejournal.com\">Sophie<\/a>&#8216;s family, who we saw by coincidence. My mom got a Bard&#8217;s Pass (8 tickets for $22 each), so we&#8217;ve been to two plays so far &#8211; the Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) and this one &#8211; and we&#8217;ll probably see Henry IV, pt. 2 next week.<br \/>\nI totally jumped the gun and signed up for a class (Calculus I) at NSCC without realizing that paying the tuition would clean out my bank account. I&#8217;ve got $30 in there right now, uugh. It&#8217;ll be remedied within the next day or so, but let&#8217;s just hope that AT&amp;T doesn&#8217;t charge me or anything&#8230; oh, well, it&#8217;s actually not too big a deal since I think my savings account provides overdraft protection. Yay.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s about it! I should head to bed so I can wake up and welcome Shiranne out of Shabbat-land!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay before I start, why does anyone like the Knife?
