So I bought Simple Plan's new CD a few days ago. I put new in italics, because I think it came out a while ago, but I just got it. I planned on buying 3 CD's: SP, The Knux, and Fall Out Boy, but being that I'm shopping at the PX (Post Exchange) in Korea, we don't have the greatest selection. So all I got was Simple Plan.
Anywho, so I'm sitting on my bed, reading, with the new SP playing. It gets to track 4 and I'm just humming along and all of a sudden, I hear Pierre Bouvier, the lead singer say *expletive alert* "Do you think about me when he fucks you?" I about died. They grew up so fast! I tell you, the band members must have gone through a lot of heartbreak since the last CD because almost every song is about a girl.
Overall, it's a good CD. I'd say it's less "pop" than the last. Definately less of those "get stuck in your head all day" kind of songs. But I liked it.
Also, listen to the song by The Knux called "Bang Bang". I love it!

Notes from Work
Well, I am writing from work, again. I'm in the process of saving up to buy this awesome laptop I saw at the Electronics Market downtown, but I'm only halfway there. It's a giant pain waiting, but it'll be worth it.
So today, I watched an episode of Heroes for the first time in over a year. I've been in training for the Army for that long. And well, I gotta say, I was sort of let down. It just didn't have enough oomph. There was I think I little too much going on, and I don't understand why there has to be a new character every 4 seconds. The newest character is Daphne, and while she's cool and I understand Matt needs a love interest, I don't understand why she's needed. BTW, here in Korea, the AFN (Armed Forces Network) is like 3 or 4 episodes behind the states. So while I know what's going on in real time thanks to the crazies over at televisionwithoutpity.com, I haven't actually seen the latest episodes. Sylar is currently in an area of gray over whether or not he's evil. And frankly I don't like it. Why can't a bad guy just be a bad guy?
Speaking of which, Ian, my bf, did an impression of Sylar the other night and I almost died. It was spot on. We were discussing what powers we'd have and somehow we got onto how he would steal my power, whatever it was. I said I'd have the power to turn Sylar good, and Ian asked how. I said "with the power of love" and apparently I said it dripping with sweetness because Ian, in his Sylar voice, said "More like the power to make people vomit." I'd never heard the Sylar voice before, but I think it's my new favorite. Well, next to the regular Ian voice and the Vin Diesel voice that he refuses to do anymore because I like it too much.
So, I'm currently obsessed with http://www.goodreads.com. I did the "Official Fall Challenge" as part of the "Next Best Book" group and it was tons of fun. I've decided to do the "Official Winter Challenge" as well as challenging myself to read I think, 200 books next year. I didn't even make 100 this year, but that was barely trying. So I think I'll be ok.
About my book. I'm having trouble with it. It's like I just can't make myself sit down and write. I think of every little excuse not to do it. I'm not sure what that's about.

C'est moi.
All right, so I've decided to join the millions of people all over the world with a blog. I'm not sure if I have anything worth sharing but I shall try to amuse you all. Here's a list of things I'll probably blog about....
1. The US Army (seeing as how I'm in it)
2. South Korea (where I'm currently stationed)
3. Books (I looooove to read)
4. My book (I'm trying to write a novel)
5. My family (oh, it's a crazy one)
6. Financial stuff (Learning to invest and trying to learn how to manage my money)
7. Movies (I love a great movie)
8. Music (I'm sort of known for being in love with a band forever and then all of a sudden, they're the "next big thing", and I think I have good taste in music)
9. Crafts (I'm big into crafting and making things out of random stuff)
10. Learning (I'm pretty much determined to learn everything about everything)
Well, I can't think of much else, but I'm sure there'll be more.
