There it is!!

I have been missing my "Live" CD by Our Lady Peace since June. I just found it when I cleaned off the top of my desk. That is SOOOOOO sad. But happy, since I found my CD. Yay for that I suppose. I just got back...I went on PHSA retreat Friday night, then I went to my parents' house for the rest of the weekend. Basically I came back to my apartment from the retreat, realized I had an ungodly amount of work to do, and decided to go home to escape it. Of course, now that I'm back and I know I have a full day tomorrow, a meeting with the Deans that I haven't prepared for on Tuesday morning, and presentations to classes tomorrow and Tuesday, life is looking a little less cheery. I realized why I love going home so much...aside from the obvious fact that my family is a complete trip. Going home is like going back in time. The radio stations in central Alabama play pop music that was popular back when I was in high school, I get home and everyone's there, acting just like they always have, and it's like I never left. (Sometimes I feel like everything's different, but this weekend it felt completely like home.) I wish I could've stayed and shirked my responsibilities a bit longer. Ugh. Well, best hop to it. Laters!

Liar

I'm listening to this song that Raine Maida covered called "Liar." The song is really not that great....but I love it. And that's when I realized....Raine Maida could sing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and I'd listen to it 24-7. I love his voice...it's just beautiful. I'm still mad at him about American Idol, but he does have a beautiful voice. Also, I've been reading a lot about genocide in Sudan through Physicians for Human Rights (www.phrusa.org) and then I read that Raine Maida went there on a trip with War Child Canada! You can read the transcript of an interview on it here, but I would highly recommend getting more indepth facts from PHR's site. Finally, if you want to hear the "Liar" song, go here!

The Love is Gone

The affair has ended. Raine Maida is now some kind of unofficial American Idol CD producer. Therefore, I shun him. I will continue my torrid love affair with Our Lady Peace, because they have yet to lead me astray. As for Mr. Maida, it's over. Getting married, and having a baby, and being exposed to excess levels of Avril Lavigne have really had a negative effect on him. Oh well. I'll miss you Raine.
