slow it down.

I was pretty bored last night, so I decided to clean out my backpack. I haven't even touched it since I finished high school in May, and I'll need to use it for college. There isn't really a lot left in there (my journal from Poetry&Short Stories, a few final exam study guides, my AP Spanish grammar workbook, and stuff from choir), but I did come across some stuff I wrote in Poetry&Short Stories that I absolutely love and refused to put in my writing portfolio.

( Including this one thing related to The Office that I'm particularly proud of. )

The IOC investigated the whole Chinese gymnasts controversy, and after 12 hours, they found nothing wrong. I'm incredibly suspicious. (And why wasn't this fully investigated before the Olympics started? I GUESS WE'LL NEVER KNOW.)

I started my online search for the textbooks I need for Fall, and I had to stop a half-hour into my searching because I got frustrated. I'll have Dad help me later tonight/sometime this weekend, because buying textbooks online is just too overwhelming for one person.

AND YEAH, I HAVE TO STUDY FOR MY FINAL TOO.

Apparently Aaron Sorkin has joined Facebook, only because he wants to make a movie about the creation of Facebook. This looks like it's not going to go over well at all.

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE PSA.

So I was watching music videos through OnDemand, and I saw that there was one for Death Cab For Cutie's song "Cath", which is one of my favorite songs off Narrow Stairs.

I went to play it, and IT WAS NOT THE SONG I KNEW.

I was so confused by this random song with the same name as a previous one that I immediately googled "Cath"'s original lyrics. And surprise surprise, THEY COULD NOT BE FOUND. They were all changed to lyrics of the new version.

The new "Cath" is pretty good, and so is the video, but that's not the point; I JUST NEED CLOSURE ON WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SONG I LOVED! Because it worries me greatly.

ETA: APPARENTLY THE ENTIRE ALBUM THAT I HAVE IS INCORRECT. This just confuses me more. SO TO ANY OF YOU ON MY FLIST WHO HAVE THIS ALBUM (AND DOWNLOADED IT FROM A TORRENT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I DID, AND ALL MY SONGS ARE WRONG) PLEASE CHECK IT AGAINST ITUNES TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE THE SAME. (And if you have the correct version, could you please upload it for me? I really don't want to get it off of iTunes if I don't have to.)

ETA 2: It turns out that the album torrent I downloaded IS a fake - The songs are really by the band Velveteen, but have the names of Death Cab For Cutie songs. If you search for the album torrent now, you'll get the correct one :)
