I found myself singing the song (is it called "build me up buttercup"?) while doing the laundry today and then got on the computer and realized why it popped into my head, it would seem, without provocation.

I need to do this podcast, but I don't know what to say, and I've already let everyone down so much that they probably don't care if I ever put out another show. But I'll figure out something. I must.

I start my waitressing job Tuesday.

obviously, there was no podcast.

This year has been pretty bad for me. but i'm featured in the yearbook, which comes out monday, which is scary.

I got a brand new computer, a macbook, once my retarded old compaq broke down finally, so I FINALLY have the equiptment to record a podcast before my computer SHUTS DOWN on me. but i'm very stressed out and busy at the moment. Only a few more days of school, and then I look forward to a great summer of podcasting.

i have a choir concert to be at in approximately 8 minutes, but I'll be in touch, i promise.

I'm not going to lie. I'm extremely curious about everything. I feel like I have to theorize about it all, because I don't know how else to sort the world out. I am not smart. I am pretty ridiculous sometimes. And I don't know what else to do about this, really, except absorb everything I possibly can.

Despite the uninformative nature of this post, I hope you didn't mind it.]]> ramblings Sun, 4 Dec 2005 02:00:00 GMT http://www.valleyell.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=38087# valleyell@gmail.com No http://www.valleyell.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=37257#
I knew my instincts about file sharing (that it's morally Right sometimes) were not shameful! Um, if that doesn't quite make sense, I'll explain it on the next episode.

This little article makes me happy. Come on, the record industry needs some reform.

I also wanted to let you know that I'm getting set to do the podcast once per week, and I'll try to get it uploaded by sunday at midnight, just like the word nerds, because they inspire me so. plus it makes just a hell of a lot more sense. for me. and I'm gonna try to play four songs per show.

I have no ipod and no internet card for my laptop, but am allowed to get on this big computer in the living room. apparently, until I can "prove that I can get myself out the door on time" in the morning.

I need to make a better podcast, and a promo. because whether or not I enjoy talking to myself and publishing what i say on the internet, it is all for naught if no one listens. lack of feedback bums me out so much. I know the last one wasn't good, but urgh.

speaking of feedback, I've enjoyed the random congratulations in the hallways, seeing as how my actual friends haven't really asked me or congratulated me because they don't really know what I do in choir. and I suppose that's cool. I just wish they knew what i did on saturday. ha ha. wow. that was a tangent. (the thing is, making district choir is a big deal... but does it matter, really? in the whole scheme of things, I mean? If I drop out of school tomorrow, will that really matter?)

By the way, I will probably be updating this thing like a freakin lj... since the livejournal thing is blocked from the school computers. so... deal.

I know no one's actually reading this. But I'm sorry that my ODEO page is so messed up. I tried to fix the files and make them shorter so I'd have space on my account... but it made like 10 ODEO shows. sorry sorry sorry. if I knew how to fix it, I would.]]> general Tue, 20 Sep 2005 21:57:00 GMT http://www.valleyell.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=22526# valleyell@gmail.com No http://www.valleyell.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=22035#

I want to put a little blog entry out right now because I need to stay off the computer this week. I have district auditions for all-state choir on Saturday, which means I need to start getting consistent, adequate rest... as opposed to the... 5 hours I usually get. I need to be more organized with my time.

I'm in the most overwhelming electronica mood of my life. I've been listening to indiefeed's electronica podcast and there are these fricken laptop battles and I'm in love. go see for yourself or something. Hopefully I will overcome the urge to play with ACID this week while I keep the internet card thing out of my computer... for the most part.

I haven't been updating my livejournal for the past couple of months, but I have a feeling I will be doing so ferociously this week since I am not going to let myself podcast for sure, until Saturday night when I get home from auditions.

In the meantime, I'll just be looking for 5/6ish awesome tracks. And I have a ton of shit to say. Hopefully I said something of consequence last time, even though I was all hyped up on coffee. ERRRGH I have to go do homework.

THE POINT IS, please tell me what you hate and like and what you ate for supper. Leave me a comment here or on the audio comment line thing.

But like I said, super tired. I've been really stupid the past couple of days and completed practically none of my homework while staying up late doing nothing online.
So I wouldn't have stayed at the football game, but I was trying to acquaint Kris the exchange student from Thailand with the game of football. Fabian and Simon from Germany were pimping it up (seriously, approximately 3 women a minute) like crazy so they had no trouble acquainting themselves.
Um, about this photo.. I can't describe it. Odd, there we go. (Oh, we lost the game by the way, really badly.) Oh yeah, later it popped up again with not one, but TWO phone numbers... aw damn I forgot to write them down.
OK zoning out.. time to go to sleep. Tomorrow morning I will wake up, drink coffee, and go biking to China and then maybe run a few miles. I think that will get me pumped up for the podcast I have been waiting to do for so long.
Oh, guess why I only have 39 megs left? because I've been putting my podcast out on this ridiculously high sound quality level and now I feel kind of pressed for space, since I've taken up around 50 megs per thingy , and guessed that's just how they rounded out. Stupid. OH WELL, no. You know what this is good for? Discouraging future listeners from downloading the really old podcasts. Taking up too much memory.
