DISASTER!

So, this morning I go upstairs after chillin' out and playing some Pokémon (more on that later), to shower. Cuz, you know, I'm the kind of person who likes showering on the occasion, especially since I didn't feel like waking up VERY early for the 7:30 freaking a.m. start yesterday to bathe. So I kinda wanted a shower. But lo and behold! Our hot water heater no longer produces warmth for our H2O here at the Dumdei residence. So I was just chillin' again in a green noxious cloud of my own stench when I decided, "My blog-friends need an update!" So here I am, and long time no see.

You may ask, "Hey, what have YOU been up to lately, Mel?" Well, let me tell you. Driver's Ed is a waste of LIFE. 3:30-6:30, almost every day. Listening to a scary guy - who likes to whistle LOUDLY at his innocent pupils at random, unpredictable intervals, I might add - talk to us for 3 hours takes a lot out of ya. I didn't go on the compy for a long time, and I'm finally over the withdrawals.

The music video for NINE IN THE AFTERNOON came out on Sunday. So go HERE to have your life blown to pieces by the amazingness. There just might be a little too much long underwear and mustaches for some of you, but push through the pain!

Zoey and Rich came to my house for awhile yesterday once school was let out at 12:30 and we Wii'ed it up for a bit. That's where the Pokémon comes in. While Zoey was pwning Mario and Rich played Zelda a bit later, I sat for several hours with my face glued to a GameBoy playing Leaf Green. I bet all your Bulbasaur's haven't evolved to a level 20-something Ivysaur...

Oh! My dad just came and informed the water heater is now fixed, so I'm going to go...you know...

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Sleep, Everyone - Powerspace

From End To Beginning

JANUARY 29, 2007!!

The BIG DAY has finally arrived! An official release of music from the mysterious, availing Panic At the Disco has hit the earth at approximately NINE, IN THE AFTERNOON. I suggest you all go listen to this amazing piece of artistry at the cost of the universe collapsing in around you otherwise.

But enough about them. This is MY blog, is it not? And besides, it's not like most of my friends won't post page-long descriptions of every note in the freaking 3:13 minute piece of music on their blogs, anyway. Maybe...

Though I want to post something about myself, I have, despite myself, nothing for my periodical readers... One Act started yesterday (YAY RICH!) and I'll be seeing 1st and 7th period tomorrow in school. It better be good. But at least I have pencils to shove into my ears if it isn't. Hellth continues to inflict physical pain on me. Today we got to do the Heimlich Maneuver on each other, so the physical pain can be translated literally. I'm glad that if someone starts turning a nice shade of cerulean on me, I can save their life by doing chest thrusts. As if that's not dirty...

Things That Exist to Smite Me:

• Algebra
• 5B Study/Lunch
• All My Children
• Walls that jump out and run my face into their cement selves
• Colds. The nose kind.
• Cold. The 'effin chilly kind...like the outdoors.
• Comedy Central (why would you edit out things from Vicious Circle?!@?)
• iTunes that refuses to update

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Addiction and Her Name - There For Tomorrow
P.S. On top of buying 9ITA, you should all make yourselves own Never Take Friendship Personal by Anberlin. It's a heavy-hearted work of staggering genius. *wink*
ACROSS THE UNIVERSE COMES OUT FEBRUARY 5!!!

Area Formerly Known as "Central Park"

Me and Zoey went and saw Cloverfield last night. It's an amazing movie and I'd recommend it to everyone. But don't forget your motion sickness bags... There's a lot of mystery surrounding the film, so if you haven't heard anything about it, go do your research. It's really quite interesting, if you're into that type of thing. At the end of the movie, something is whispered, but Zoey and I left before we could catch it. I looked it up, and supposedly it sounds like "Help Us," but it turns out it's a backmasked. When played backwards...well, just listen to what I've included in this post, if it works for you. It really freaked me out.

Enough with my Cloverfield rant. I haven't posted for awhile, and I probably shouldn't be doing so right now, seeing as I have a speech to work on. I'm also starting a countdown for the release of "Nine In the Afternoon."

Countdown to Nine In the Afternoon! - 8 days

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Prostitution Is The World's Oldest Profession (And I, Dear Madame, Am A Professional) - Cobra Starship
P.S. Do you know of Garfield?
