Time's Up! - The dreaded end to winter break

Currently Playing Savage Garden To the Moon & Back By Savage Garden see related

Really? *Sigh* No more lounging around and playing video games all day, and then watching TV... and the occasional shopping. I did top it off with a day of "work". I had (well not really had) to tutor Auntie Susie's kids yesterday. Didja know that only one kid is in a "-1" class? That's Cheska in 5-1. Kelvin is in 5-2, Ciara in 3-2, and Cheilsea (?! I could never spell her name because it's not spelled "Chelsea") is in 1-2. Anywho... tutoring... oh yeah. Kelvin can't pronounce things. A while back I mentioned "Con-fist-e-cay-shion" for "Confiscation" but yesterday he pronounced Plymouth as "Ply Mouth." I corrected him and later in the day he continued with the "Ply Mouth." Oh well. Something else odd. The children went in a room shift. Cheska now has her own room. Cheska and [other daughter] have Kenneth and Kelvin's room. Kenneth and Kelvin are now downstairs. That Cheska... if I was one of the other four I’d ask why she has her own room.

So I went clearance shopping today! A Coconuts nearby is closing so CDs were 25 Percent off! And they sell used CDs! Sale! Woo-hoo! So I went and bought 5 CDs... All from the 90s. Odd. Well here they are.

Savage Garden: (self Titled) - Chik-a-Cherry Cola! Actually other than "I Want You" and "Truly Madly Deeply" I know the songs "To the Moon & Back" and "Carry on Dancing" because they were used for something I watched before (I can't recall what it was, but it probably involved Sailor Moon). The CD was 7.99 and it was NEW! Ha!

Mariah Carey: Unplugged - Just for "I'll Be There" but of course I like the rest of the songs. I see now where Christina Aguilera got her influences from.

Billie Myers: Growing, Pains - Okay, yes a one hit wonder. And a 5 dollar CD. But the song is cool enough to keep. Remember "Kiss The Rain"? I do.

Alanis Morissette: Jagged Little Pill - Yes I know my sister has this CD, but I a) can't find it and b) it's probably scratched up badly. Alanis in her good times. I wonder when we're gonna say that about Avril. Speaking of my sister, I wonder whatever happened to that Live CD.

The Simpsons: Songs in the key of Springfield - I can't believe the Dela Cruz children don't watch The Simpsons! Everyone in their right minds does! (Prepositional phrases, it would be "Everyone Does" without the preposition right?) Me Fail English? That's Umpossible! Well This CD has the Monorail song, the Baby on Board song and See My Vest! And tons of good songs. Why hasn't Family Guy made a CD?

Yeah! But the clearance didn't finish there! Right next door from Coconuts was a Kay Bee Toys (Still with the old school "Kay Bee" on the outside!) that had 60%-80% off! I bought three items (A Memory Card, A Strategy Guide, and a Rumble Pack for my dreamcast) and it all totaled....... One Dollar! Ahahahaha. AND I got my dad to pay for it! Woo-hoo. Free!

One other thing before I go. My mother has started watching old re-runs of Dawson’s Creek! First Charmed and now this? She says, oh they have pretty boys on this show. I'm like, "Your not gonna like it as much when one of the pretty boys starts making out with some tertiary character... There was a gay one on this show right? I'm not making that up am I? I know it wasn't Pacey. Or Dawson. Or that girl, you know what’s-her-name. Or that other blond chick.

Well I'm pretty much packed up to go. My laptop is still out so I can upload my new songs to iTunes and then to my iPod after I rate the songs. I've finally reached 4 GB! Thank God for the fact that my iPod has 20 GB. I didn't realize how easy it is to fill up an iPod when you have an extensive listening range like I do. Sprinkle a little Ella Fitzgerald with some Biggie and some Chaka Kahn, and then a little bit of Third Eye Blind, some BeeGees and maybe even a little Jessica Simpson and you haven't even shaved off a top layer.

PS. Noooo! Chubby Tina! Noooo! Oh and American Idol? Funny. Amazing Race? Thank God Unnamable and Subservient were eliminated. Wickedly Perfect? Good Show, well not really it needs a “team leader” a la Apprentice (tonight!) Project Runway? One of the COOLEST/well edited reality shows on TV. I will miss you since (gay friendly) New Paltz doesn’t have BRAVO! Noooooo!
