News:
1. I now own another new pair of jeans. They have that cool zippy thingie on the flare part where you unzip it and a colored part shows... in this case, it's crossing-guard orange mesh. I'm gonna wear one leg open and one closed. Because matching is no fun.
2. The Beak appointment is Tuesday, not last Thursday. My mother is losing her marbles. :)
3. My progress report was pretty good.
Algebra: B!!!!!!! Only because the only real grade I had besides homework and worksheets was a test I got an 88 on :)
Physics: D!!!!!! YAY!
English: 80-something. Wow am I fricken upset about this :(
Lunch: Malfoy :)
Spanish: 80-something. Whatever.
Health: 99. Turns out I got one wrong on my last test *shock!* lol.
History: D/F. Bianca and I both were missing a grade, so this is what we got. Now that we've taken the test... I think it's still that way. Well, I think I did pretty well on the other test... so I dunno.

Anyway. I haven't made a diva since last year... time to make one. :)

Freaky freaky freaky

Seriously freaked out...
Remember Richard Cory from English class?
Well, in listening to a Paul album of mine, someone (I'm thinking Denny Laine... or Jimmy McCulloch... wow was he hot... *ahem*) starts to sing this song... with the line... "I wish I could be Richard Cory" and the line "Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."
I'll try to find the lyrics.
Hold on a sec.
Well, apparently it's a Paul Simon song, but I have no idea why it's on a Paul McCartney album or why he'd perform it in concert (the album is the album of a concert of his) but here it is. What do you think?
------------------------------------
( Richard Cory )

And here's the real poem:
( Richard Cory... the sequel )

So now we must wonder:
Did Paul Simon in fact write about this poem? Well, duh.
What secret connections does Paul McCartney have to Paul Simon? Did they meet one day and decide to organize a "Famous Pauls Convention"?
What connection does Paul McCartney/Denny Laine/Jim McCulloch/Joe English/Linda McCartney/Wings have to Richard Cory/Edwin Arlington Robinson?
And... WHY THE HELL CAN'T LITERARY FIGURES LEAVE OFF THEIR MIDDLE NAMES? I mean come on, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Ivy B. Greenflower, W.E.B. Du Bois, etc. have got to be just as great without the extra names. Ralph Emerson, Henry Thoreau, Ivy Greenflower, W. Du Bois... I don't even remember if he was a great literary figure, I just remember he had like 7 initials.

Confirmation:
Art Garfunkel: This is a song that's an adaptation of an Edwin Arlington Robinson poem written some years back called "Richard Cory". thanks goes to http://www.medialab.chalmers.se/guitar/richard.cory.html.

...which doesn't explain why in the name of George Harrison one of Paul's bandmates would perform it.






...Jim McCulloch is still hot anyway. :)
