Upon first listen, I have to say the new These Arms Are Snakes record is a bit of a disappointment. It's not horrible...but it's not great, and after their debut E.P. ripped me a new one, I expected a little more. It has its moments, but mostly seems a little deflated. But the good news is (depending on how you look at it), my first listens are like losing your virginity: you have to do it more than just the first time to actually enjoy it. I'll stop there...for everyone's sake. Today was amazing, as amazing as a Monday could possibly be. The weather...I don't know where to start it was so good. Clear skies, and you could finally feel a fall breeze. This summer was so oppressive, so I think it's the contrast that I'm appreciating. I also like the mental clarity that comes with fall; it's a new (school) year, things are cycling again, energy is high, there are new goals, and I can pretend last year was a test run, because I basically wasted it. I got home to find two packages in the mail. One containing TAAS and the new Converge, and another from my mom containing bills I have to pay and a twenty dollar bill I get to spend. Probably tomorrow at Malady. I waste no time. xmopissax: ok man now i see this whole situation in a new light AlexTheNinjabot: oh really foo AlexTheNinjabot: what light is that? xmopissax: i don't know, the "i didn't have all the facts before but now i do" light?

AlexTheNinjabot: I don't know AlexTheNinjabot: I'd say I'm drunk, but I can't lie anymore
