Ah man, what a day. Basically a 2 hour trip to Grand Rapids there and back. But it was for a purpose. Portfolio Day did benefit me a bit, even though getting to the Kendell College was a pain. Jesus Christ, I forgot how brutal the downtown area in cities can be. And what I mean by "brutal" is traffic. Living in a small town, I am not used to that. Luckily, my mom was driving, so I didnt have to worry about my driving skills...........instead, just telling my mom how to drive:P. But yeah, had a couple awkward situations in the parking garage, but they got resolved without conflict, thank god. But enough about the city, the REAL reason for going to Grand Rapids was Portfolio Day. When I first got to the college, my face was like: :?. And it was nervewracking, since I seemed like I was the only high-schooler there, surrounded by so many talented college artists. So, getting to the representitive that was representing a college that offered game art/design (yes, I'm a cliched gamer who also wants a gamer career:P ), I noticed that the few people in front of me had LOTS of art to show off in my portfolio, and I felt like I was the little runt in the crowd with amaturish artwork in my portfolio. Things turned out fine, though. The rep gave me a few pointers and such, and just like that, me and my parents were on our way back home. Oh, and had to stop at Wendy's on the way back to get some much deserved grub, too:P

And, while riding in the car, we listened to my Now Christmas 3 CD I bought last month for the first time:D. The first CD was great, with the old-fashioned classics by the original, classic artists. The other one, on the other hand, basically was sucky. First of all, Beach Boy's "Little Saint Nick" was on it, and IT WAS ALREADY ON A PAST NOW CHRISTMAS CD:evil:!!!! How could you scam us, NOW! company!!!??? Second, most of the songs were boring, new songs that I could easily live without. And last, there were, of course, songs sung by today's artists, such as Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera, that tried to sing classic songs that they should NEVER touch. And Relient K singing 12 Days of Christmas is just SCREAMING out, "Meh:|" So, overall, the whole CD compilation gets a 7/10, in my first ever music review:P.

Of course, how could I end a typical post without a couple movie scores as well:P ? Getting back to normal things, I watched a 70s style movie that was VERY similar to American Graffiti, and a movie with..........uh, bedrooms I guess? They are (and no pics this time, thanks to Glitchspot:evil: ) :

Dazed and Confused--9/10
