rah rah sis boom bah

god nothing else has been on my mind for the last few days. i've been
religiously checking every news information source that i can. i can't
believe the mass devastation, i know everything i say and think sounds so trite now.
so like not important at all.
people are dead, so many people, and they're still dying. why is it taking
so long to, i dunno, remove people who are sleeping on a highway? if the
national guard has time to drive john roberts of 48 hours around so he can
check out the poor black people "looting" food, why can't they just grab
those people up and get them the hell out? faster? i'm disgusted.
i mean no disrespect to those people who really are risking their lives to
save people and trying to keep order but i can't help but think that poor
people are being ignored. again. maybe i'm just way too cynical.
then mike and i are treated to this lovely news story on almost every
station in chicago yesterday: rich couple from northern burbs take their
daughter to college at tulane. hurricane is coming. rich couple hire limo
driver to drive them all the way back to chicago for four thousand
dollars. sweet crap, are you kidding me?
i guess there was "no other way" for them to get out, so it's
understandable. but WHY is this news? i am so sick of the american media
machine right now that it's unbelievable. it really makes me want to puke.
a lot of people and organizations are really pitching in and helping but
people are starving and dying and drowning and shooting each other and
killing themselves.

i wish there was some way i could blame this on bush.

oh yeah and i don't give a fuck about gas prices right now. at all. so
stop telling me about them, fox news.

i have this sick throw up feeling in my throat that won't go away and i
can't cry. sorry about my most depressing blog post ever.

...i'm going to assume that we didn't make it onto this seasons "the
amazing race". i hate that stupid show anyway. good bye, dreams of
becoming a half-millionaire! good bye, thoughts of nonstop restaurant food
and a bunny room and paying off everyone's debts!! good bye, future trust
fund babies! good bye, car i actually own! good bye good bye good bye!

Okay so my new band is named after Cathy Santoni from Full House

so if we wanted to be called the cathy SAN-Tone-ees (pronunciation)
how should we spell it?

I've been spelling it
The Cathy Santonis

but mike think that looks like
the Cathy San-tone-iss

so should wee spell it
the cathy santonis
or
the cathy santonies

thanks for the help

crap, i already failed my own ridiculous and easy to obtain goal.

oh well act like i posted this yesterday:

Happy birthday cory!!

my brother is 19. my widdle babee brother. i remember when he used to
wear my old minnie mouse leotard. don't tell him i told you that. i feel
like i'm getting old.

I have a new goal in life because I am sick of setting goals that i do not
obtain. or better yet, having no goals at all. which is what i have been
doing recently. my new goal in life, my reason for living, etc., is:

.
.
.
updating my blog every day

even if it's the most boringest crap you've ever heard in your life. i'm
doin it. watch out!!

someone just drove by my window with "poison" by bel biv devoe blasting.
no, like really blasting. hey thanks everyone for commenting. I promise to
finish the CD this weekend and then they're going to start arriving at
your homes. i'm going to use the magical free postal service.
xo
raedy

well well well

okay i feel really weird posting when i have nothing to talk about. but i have been a really bad blogger lately.

firstly i'm just wondering who even reads this blog anymore, so let's do a little rollcall in the comments section. all you have to do is say "i read your blog" or just put yr name or whatever. just out of curiosity.

secondly my friend mj is visiting today. we have finished an album and i am mixing it right now. if you want a free promo copy just say so in the comments section. that can be the same thing as your rollcall comment. don't feel too special about the free copy thing, they're free to everyone. i'm thinking of setting up a myspace for us.

thirdly visit this website: magazineproject.org

you didn't hear it from me. but yes it is awesome, i know. please feel free to say so in the comments section though. no mom i'm not going to get arrested. :)

fourthly i'm broke ass. if anyone wants to send me huge amounts of money, please email for my address. or just email me anyways because i probably want to hear from you.

fifthly i feel weird today.

well i think that's it. i have an apartment to clean. blah!

caution: this post contains spoilers to the half blood prince
seriously


turn back now



if you haven't read the book but you want to



or if you're like really really obsessed with it



okay i warned you
here i go



okay so i just finished the book, since my darling sister lent it to me on weds. now, don't get me wrong. i devoured it during every possible moment of free time i had. and even some times that weren't free and seriously this book made me late for shit.

anyway, was it really that surprising to anyone? seriously?

cuz liz posted some link on her blog to a website where everyone was like oh my god jk rowling really messed me up this time i didn't see this coming. wow.

i'm sorry but come on. "a major character is going to die in this book". and the book basically centered a lot around harry and his relationship with dumbledore. and with snape talking to draco's mom all that stuff? i saw it coming a mile away. i'm kind of disappointed.

yeah i know that this is not the last book, and there's another one (and i predict many more after that chaching) and i'm sure that this is gearing up to be all settled in the most awesomest book ever. well maybe not ever. but of the series. and i'm sure it will be surprising, but in my opinion this was the most boring and unsurprising book of the series. but the best written. and the whole thing with the horcruxes and the fake one and oh that's pretty genius. and call me crazy, or nerdy, or evil, but i enjoyed getting to know voldemort better, he's a really great character. and crabbe and goyle as girls whoa! but snape, dumbledore, ginny, draco, ron, hermione, etc, not surprising. also i found all of the insinuation that ginny is a slut for dating (and snogging) a lot of boys to be offensive. and oh at the end it's okay because she was just trying to get over harry or something. whatever jk.

i still liked the book though.

so let's take a vote, who's RAB? (a member of the black family?) is dumbledore dead? (i say no) is snape really a death eater? (i vote no again) do you all hate me for the criticism? or do you love me still because, cmon, you expected it?

The longest survey you'll ever fill out! Answer all the questions
honestly, no lying to avoid stuff.

because i'm lazy

-mike and i moved into an awesome new apartment but nothing is where it is
supposed to go. literally nothing. it took us so long to move everything
yesterday. but we got lots of help from mike's family. but we didn't feel
like putting anything in the right place last night because, let's face
it, it was hot and we were tired and we needed pizza and beer. so that's
what we did.

-today i did a lot of work. it was mindnumbing. literally. my brain is not
working.

-there was a lot of honking going on outside our building this morning.
like at 6 am. please, if you're picking up someone from work at the
buttcrack of dawn, just go up to the building and buzz their apartment.
don't sit outside honking "shave and a haircut" for fifteen minutes.
literally.

-ummm i think i had other stuff but i don't remember. i hope we don't
annoy our new neighbors. cuz we are noisy.

-i'm watching inxs rock star. i can feel myself getting less cool.
