14 Feb 2007 | Say “love” with me
Uhhh, I am feeling out of it. Long story short, I devoured three chocolate chip cookies, one package of Florida’s Natural fruit string, a bagel, and truckloads of graham crackers this morning. The greatly increased sugar intake, of course, caused me to feel hyperactive and strangely happy. The effect began to wear off after school, so I ate another dozen graham crackers to remedy this. Unfortunately, exhaustion set in for good around 5:00 pm in the afternoon, and I ensconced myself on the sofa until I realized that I would be in major doo-doo if I didn’t get a start on my homework.
Then, wonder of wonders, the goddess of fate deigned to smile upon me and blessed all of the beleaguered students in our school district with yet another SNOW DAY.
Ah, there is a truly a terrible but wondrous beauty in snowfall so thick and rapid that it forces responsible parents to fear for their children’s safety and to agree to not to bring them to Taekwondo class, to spend hours backed up on the freeway and to leave irate messages on the answering machine, and to spend two hours relaying the tale of their murderous return journey over the telephone, while their high schooler daughter waits impatiently for an opportunity to access the Web via a dial-up Internet connection, and watches a news special on Mormon polygamy instead.
Well, well, well.
As an extremely relevant aside, F.I.R. is perhaps the best Chinese-speaking band I’ve ever heard. Their pop/rock style is original, the production quality is first-rate, and Faye’s vocals are practically angelic. Real is also a very talented singer… and Ian! I love his sunglasses ^_^.

大聲說 love love love

You also have a snow day? Same here! Now this will be a happy Valentine’s day!
I’m listening to that song on Radioblog right now. They are unique! And so much better than American artists on the radio these days.

I had a snow day yesterday, too! And today as well. :D Heh, I totally waste my snow days, but they still make me very happy anyway. XP
I haven’t heard many songs by F.I.R. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot more S.H.E. music, although for some reason most of the songs aren’t very memorable to me. o_O Hmmm, maybe I’m way too picky for my own good. XP
