"Tiptoe down, to the holy places...

...where you going now, don't turn around" A test of your early '90s indie knowledge.

I finally have a day off this week. I've been busy everyday doing something every day, but I had nothing to do today, except a 40 minute school volleyball game. We played one of the rich schools again (not the ones I talked about recently, but a few weeks ago), this time at their gym, and we destroyed them again. We beat theem 25-11 in the first game, they had no cahnce, 25-18 second game, we tested out a few weird things, a lot of us tested our jump serves, which was successful for me, but overall we kinda screwed ourselves by trying all these things, and in the third game we beat them 15-3 while we were testing a different rotation. That might have been our last school game, unless we organize a game with the Christian private school American Martyrs, who's really good. They'll be the only competeition we've had besides our very first game. I have a few friends on the team who are quite good, so if we get it worked out, we'll have a good game. After the burying, we watched our B team play (little sucky guys :P) and cheered them on. They lost the game we watched them, but they won two out of three games, so they won. For some reason, we played to three games every time this season, whether or not they needed it (we only needed it once). I kind of wanna get a tournament video up some time just for the hell of it, show ya how damn good we are. We have some games like this (the close team is the same club I play for, in fact, that's the same court my team usually plays on, the exact same). This is an older team having a mediocre game, so it should about equal us: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xqXW-EfQtdm. Difference i, our passing's usually a bit better than this :P.

On a quick political note. Even after Barack Obama's huge (and I mean HUGE) loss in West Virginia, and what will happen again in Kentucky, fortunately (for Obama supporters), John Edwards endorsed him, which has overshadowed the loss. His poll numbers have gone up to a higher point than ever (+7.2 against Hillary for nomination, and +4.5 against McCain for general election), and in recent polls form each state, out of 16 polls, Obama won 11, and out of the 5 big states (the 5 states with the most electoral votes from those polls), Obama won 3 (California, New York, and Pennsylvania) and McCain won 2 (Florida, huge shock there, and Ohio). Not to sound biased, but if things continue this way, Obama will win everything. Don't even deny it. It could swing in McCain's favor in the future, but Clinton is finished, and if things continue this way, McCian will lose. On top of all that, he's expected to win Oregon, and for the first time, he has more superdelegates than Clinton, and they just keep flocking to him.

Last night I had the ultimate combination of great things. I listened to "In Rainbows" by Radiohead while reading To Kill a Mockingbird for school. It rocked.

Yes, I'm still obsessing over Radiohead. Don't worry Shadow and Elmis, after my birthday, I'll have plenty of money to finish my Radiohead collection, grab a few from familiar bands, and still get tons of new stuff.

I'm kind of out of things to talk about, so I'll list my top ten albums right now. It's pretty much the same as usual, a little different to fit what I'm listenig to right now.

1. "OK Computer" by Radiohead (it broke the tie and jumped out ahead)

2. "Vs." by Pearl Jam

3. "Siamese Dream" by The Smashing Pumpkins

4. "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

5. "Badmotorfinger" by Soundgarden

6. "In Utero" by Nirvana

7. "Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine

8. "Facelift" by Alice in Chains

9. "Slanted and Enchanted" by Pavement

10. "Doolittle" by The Pixies

Yeah, not much different than usual, but oh well. I'm off to play more Ocarina of Time!
