Damn BBC

Took my videos down. I need to lead a revolt. They took away Robin Hood, they killed Ianto, and now they denied me The Libertines. REVOLT! REVOLT! Stupid BBC, well I have a message for you! You can't treat us like we don't exist.




(I am actually more annoyed than this post might indicate. But I can't help it when it comes to the Newsies. I'm going to be late to class for posting this, but it'll be worth it to be singing this song for the next week.)

Oh Sweet Youtube

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Number one: You don't have area restrictions on your content due to me not living in the UK. Need I say more?

And now, please let me present to you a little sampling of:
THE LIBERTINES READINGS PERFORMANCE, 2010.

Horrorshow. Can you understand the lyrics? Not really. Does it matter? Not really!


Boys in the Band


What Katie Did

BBC Angst

I have had the Reading and Leeds festival marked on my calender since April. This is the festival that The Libertines are reforming at. And what happens when the date FINALLY comes around? The stupid BBC site won't work. Because I don't live in the UK. Oh, sure, it works for about a dozen OTHER bands, for about three songs, but it won't play the full set of any one band, unless you are watching BBC Three. And BBC won't work. I want to cry. The Libertines are quite possibly one of my very favorite bands. I have both of their cds, imported from the UK, I have about 100 songs that are JUST demos, live performances, bootlegs, and unreleased tracks. Not only that but I have both Babyshambles records bought, along with Pete Doherty's solo album. I also have Carl Barat's compilation mixed cd, and plan to get his solo album. I also bought two shirts. I LOVE this band. I know the secrets and gossip and history of them. AND ALL I WAS ASKING was to see their reformation gig. I don't think this is too much to ask for, ESPECIALLY because it is being broadcast onto television there. It isn't like a little festival that doesn't have enormous cameras and cranes and publicity. Blah. I'm going to go eat a lot of Nutella and probably ignore my homework even more.

Poopy

I am so drained. It is only the third day of school and I want to sleep for a whole week. I thought I was prepared for school again, but I'm not. I want summer back. I don't want homework. I don't want to be on campus for a stupid ten hours tomorrow. I don't want to read 80 pages of geography homework plus whatever will be assigned tomorrow. I don't want to do three entire math assignments every other day. I don't want to paint and be frustrated that I can't get the colors mixed just right. I don't want to be a responsible student!!!

Ocean Breathes Salty

I have sort of been slacking on posting anything for a while. This is the last day of summer. I am welcoming the structure. However I can't help but feel some stress and anxiety. I feel like I wasted a lot of the summer. It sneaked past pretty quickly. These are the times that I feel sort of pathetic. I don't ever accomplish as much as I want during the summer. -sigh- Hopefully I can pull myself together during the school year and accomplish the things I should have this summer.
Ah, well. I decided to go with one of my favorite songs and favorite music videos.

We Are Scientists-centric Post Extravaganza!

Last night I saw We Are Scientists at Kilby Court. It was quite possibly the best shows I have ever been to. The warm up acts were awesome. I was worried that W.A.S would play a lot of their new album, which I don't know as much about, but I was pleasantly surprised that I knew several of the songs they played that were new. They were really funny, and very genuine. I am kind of in love with them all over again. WHICH IS WHY! I am going to make this into a W.A.S fest, complete with HAAAY worthy pictures, music videos, interviews and some pictures and video from last night!

edit: videos from the show will be added shortly.





A classic W.A.S interview.

Lazy Summer

Good Day

Today was really good. To be honest, it was kind of the first good day in a long time. Not that I consistently have bad days. But I felt happy, and I stayed happy. It actually sort of started last night, about 2 am. (Well, okay, I guess that would be this morning) It started raining, and there was some thunder and lightening. But it wasn't very cloudy. I went out and stood on the front porch and saw stars, while it was raining. It was very pleasant. There is a little kitten from across the street that got left out, and was crying, so I tried to get it, to try and calm it down and maybe give it some food and water, but it didn't work. But! I did basically just walk in the road barefoot, at 2 am, and look at the stars, and smell the fresh rain, with my army of cats swarming me. (I quickly left the road. I hate when the cats get close.) I also saw (and was startled by) a great big toad. I haven't seen toads or frogs for so long, it feels like. Anyway, the next day I got to sleep in, then me and my sister decided that we didn't really have a plan, but that we wanted to do something. So we went to 7-11 and I got an iced coffee and cake donut, and my sister got a slurpee and pringles. We then decided to go and get my car washed, since I have a free sticker coupon. While there we thought we would go get frozen yogurt at Frogurt, that we have never been to. That is over by Bed, Bath & Beyond, which my sis wanted to get these plastic ice cubes that you can reuse for her friend Andy. While there I bought her those whisks that have rubbery coating on them. (I forget what they are called). Annoyingly, Frogurt was closed. (Our original plan was to go to Zeppe's, they were also closed. Then we thought we would go to Boone's to get Frazils mixed with softserve, but they were also closed. Grr). It was SO hot, though, so we decided to go to Wal-Mart and get a kiddie-pool, and sit in our backyard and cool off. We did this, and it was awesome. And also, I finally was able to catch the kitten, probably because it was so exhausted from being left out, and yowling, and being so hot. Poor thing. Also, my sister made really yummy pancakes for dinner AND, my cousin dropped by, which was really nice. Then when my cousin and sister and dad left, I decided to work on crossing something off of my To-Do-List. I chose cleaning the barn. So I moved all of the old bikes out, and piled up all of the random wood posts, and all of the random PVC pipes, and then swept up. There kind of isn't much I can do, because there is really large farm equipment, and not very much stuff to organize. Everything is big and icky. But it was nice to at least do SOMETHING. And sweeping made it look nice fairly quickly. Then me and my mom went to Wendy's and got their blended frosties. I got Oreo. I like Oreo and Coffee Toffee the best. When we got back I went on a bike ride with Chelsea, but the mosquitos were having a feast on my legs, so we went back and exercised in her dance studio. It remotivated me to get my act together. We made plans for tomorrow, to go see Inception, which I've heard it really good. And to also exercise again. I also plan on taking those bikes in. It will be nice to get rid of some of the junk we have. Then, when I checked my facebook, this kid, Chad Laws, who works at Hoagie's Corner (I have a job interview with them at 10 tomorrow) mentioned that his boss was concerned about my school schedule. So I decided I better make sure to take my schedule, to see if we could work it out. (Assuming that I get the job.) But in checking my schedule, I dropped the psychology class I was going to take, because it isn't being taught by the professor it originally listed, and instead I am taking a Geography class! People and Places, it is called. It actually works better with my schedule, too. Because before I had an hour between class (which is actually kind of nice, but it might be burdensome for work), and now it is right after my botany class. (I might have to skeedaddle to class, but luckily it is downhill from the Lindlecture Hall to the Psychology Building.) Anyway, that makes me very happy. It also makes me happy that I already have a friend at Hoagies, (again, IF I get it. but, well, c'mon! please?) I am content. It was a goooood day!

Seven Nation Army

Victory!

I know this is now old news, but...SPAIN WON THE WORLD CUP!!!
Let's see some highlights:

De Jong only got a yellow card, but everyone agrees; it should have been red.


This is an aerial shot of Madrid, when the team got back to Spain. That red bus is the Spain team!


=D

Now maybe my blogging will get back to normal, now that I'm not distracted. I missed several music-weekends, whoops!
