also, would the readers of this blog (all 3 of them), like me to post short stories i've written this semester in fiction class? they're not really good, and i'm probably horrible at writing, but someone might like them (like my mom). most of them are written in a contemporary style and are not all crazy or fantasy or something like that. basically, they're about real life (or almost-real life). it'd at least be a post instead of the nothing that i've been putting here for the past 2 months or however long it's been since i've updated.
maybe i'll just yell a lot and record it, then post it here and call it the newest genre of music. oh wait! it's already been done. oh well, there's always next year.
If I had to pick anyone to win the Mercury Award besides Thom Yorke, it would have the Arctic Monkeys. and guess what! they won!
i really like this review of their album (from that same site): If your life is full of drunken attempts to pull birds who wear fake tan, then Alex Turner and friends provide the perfect soundtrack. Even if you're not forever downloading the latest ringtones and sinking 8 pints of wife-beater on a Friday night you won't be able to avoid smiling at his wry observations on great British life.
