This whole Alsherok being down thing has really sucked, not in the least because I've lost both the blog and email, and I'm kind of wondering where the hell my MAT scores are. The application process for grad school is kinda freaking me out. It's hard, and it's bloody expensive - I just spent $205 on a couple Praxis tests, and there's like 3 more I have to take before it's over. And if I fuck this up, well, I'm not sure what happens then. It's scary.
Beyond that, this is the first time since I was in Europe that I've been typing up entries beforehand and posting them later. I still have a big text file with all my stuff from England to Italy. It's a lot. So whatever that's worth.
So I've been listening to this song...for about 3 days straight as of this writing, and counting. Jane Says, by Jane's Addiction. It's really, really catchy, but I'm not sure that explains all of it - I haven't listened to a song this much since...The Noose back in '03 maybe. Maybe not even then. Not sure what this is about. Maybe I'm trying to get away to Spain in my own little way. All I know is that when this sort of thing happens, the best thing to do is to park yourself somewhere, clamp the earphones on, and sing along until you're hoarse and the thing burns itself out.
I ain't hoarse yet, and the song still rocks, so.

Jane says
I'm done with Surgio
he treats me like a ragdoll
she hides the television
says I don't owe him nothing
but if he comes back again
tell him to wait right here for me
or try again tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it
she knows they all want her to go
but that's ok man she don't like them anyway
Jane says I'm going away to Spain
when I get my money saved
gonna start tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
She gets mad and she starts to cry
she takes a swing but she can't hit!
she don't mean no harm she just don't know
what else to do about it
Jane goes
to the store at eight
she walks up on St. Andrews
she waits and gets her dinner there
she pulls her dinner from her pocket
Jane says I ain't never been in love
I don't know what it is
she only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me
She gets mad and she starts to cry
she takes a swing but she can't hit!
she don't mean no harm she just don't know
what else to do about it
