Football

Just wondering, are we playing football on the 8th (Monday, we have it off)? If we are, let's plan it soon so more people will be able to make plans to come.

Dropkick Murphys

Dropkick Murphys--the victor by a narrow 2 vote margin over Avenged Sevenfold

You guys know the drill by now. Request bands.

By the way, this is the 499th post. Impressive, guys.

Change of Pace, Change of Place

This is really more of an update, to try and keep you guys informed. As you may or may not know, I'm moving...tomorrow. All this really means is that I'll be without internet access, for the most part, until next Monday. While I should be able to update everything at somepoint over the weekend, I'm just giving you guys a heads up, in case an update doesn't arrive.

If you need me, though, you can call.

Modest Mouse?

Modest Mouse has been voted band of the week.
I'm very pleased that 23 people voted. Except I somewhat doubt it. Please do not vote more than once--then it just comes down who's more obsessed.

Though I'm glad it's not the Spice Girls.

Anyway, make suggestions for new bands of the week. This week, let's keep them current, kay?

Come on now..

How come I'm the only one who voted for Modest Mouse?

More importantly, I found this on YouTube, and it reminded me of Stephen Iero, who was dancing to it today at golf practice.




Make sure you watch the very last five or six seconds.

Thought you guys would enjoy these videos.

Motion City Soundtrack

Motion City Soundtrack is the new band of the week, by a 9-3 (Coheed)-2 (Underoath)-1 (Alkaline) vote. Overwhelming majority.

For this week's poll, you have until I go to bed tonight to submit your suggestions for candidates for band of the week. I dunno what time that'll be...notice: those bands that lost can be put up again, but not in two consecutive weeks. Also, MCS can also be put up as a candidate again...just as soon as we go through every other band in the world.

Machines and Modern Art

I dunno how many of you guys saw the new Mythbusters on Wednesday night, but they were testing Tesla's supposed invention of the Earthquake Machine. It was interesting.

In other news, over the course of three days, six earthquakes hit Indonesia. Hmmm...

Also, I have some very important news. The famed artist Martin Creed (I'd never heard of him either) has opened up a new exhibit, appropriately titled Work No. 227: The Lights Going On and Off. That's right. Don't you love modern art. Basically, the exhibit consists of a plain room--white walls, just a room of any size the gallery happens to have--in which he has programmed the lights (well, controlled by a laptop) to turn off and on at intervals of five seconds. Yes. This masterpiece--which won a notable prize--(note the sarcasm) brought to you by the same artist who brought you Work No. 88: A sheet of A4 paper crumpled into a ball. Mmhmm. Right. And people praise him for his genius. My favortie quote from the article (http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2007/09/13/on_and_off/?page=1) must be "'This guy got 20,000 pounds for demonstrating the same artistic talent as a defective circuit breaker,'" said by Dave Barry.

Mmhmm.

Stats Homework

Note: I did not know this to be the case, but Mrs. O's blackboard states that she wants the article assignment tomorrow. Just to keep you all up to date.

New Band of the Week

By request, the band of this week is The Used.
However, after this week, I will put up as the poll 4 bands (or artists), so that everyone can have a say on which band is the band of the week. They won't all be from the same genre, but I'll try and have a good spread. Suggestions welcome.

Remember, no need to check blackboard for homework! All the homework I post on the sidebar for our convenience!

That feeling

Anybody ever have that feeling like you just dont want to move? it could be 35 degrees outside and you're in a slightly wet and grassy field and you just feel like lying there. Right now im listening to the second MCR cd and i feel like everything isnt alright, when really it is. Sketchy...

Colin:

Isn't it annoying for you to update all this stuff (like the homework section) everday?

Renovation and Rejuvination

First, to restate, basically, what Kevin said: football tomorrow, 11, at Loriella. Show up, if you can make it.

Now, to the reason I actually posted. I've made some changes to the blog, in hopes to improve it and spark some involvement. Let's see how it works.

Firstly, there's a new poll, for now asking which class you are most looking forward to--feel free to vote! This can be changed easily, so feel free to make suggestions--you can leave a comment or e-mail me.
Next, there's the band of the week. Really, it's just a slot for any video clips--I just happened to look up Rise Against. We can leave it as band of the week, and vote on it each week (a poll subject) or it can be changed. Up to you guys!
Thirdly, there is a list of links. These are the ones I thought to include while doing it. Many more can be added--so feel free to make suggestions!

Those are the primary changes for now, but I plan on adding a list feature later on tonight, and writing the assignments that will be due in CGS over the course of the week, to keep us all easily informed. Of course, these are all easily edited, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to offer them!

If you have trouble posting, feel free to e-mail me for another invitation!

Football

Just wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow at 11 there will be the CGS football game, at the same place as usual, Chancellor vs. Riverbend. Riverbend will need some good players, so if you're a RB'er, show up please.
