Hey Boo Boo

There's a lot of controversy about Amy Winehouse, but watching this video... I don't understand how anyone could NOT be moved by her performance. I miss this Amy. I miss the Amy that wasn't completely drugged out. Sure, she smoked pot and cigarettes and drank, but she always seemed more... present? Her mind didn't seem completely gone. She wasn't completely emaciated (she was, but not as much as she is now). And now, the drugs have all but destroyed her. It's such a damn shame. One of the most talented singers of this generation, and she's probably not going to make it much longer. It's such a tragedy. I (along with many, many other people) am just waiting for her to die. It's sad and morbid, but what else can one do? If she makes it to 26 (yes, she's only 25 years old), it will be a shock. If I believed prayer would do anything, I would pray for her every night. I'll miss her voice in a world of musical mediocrity.

Enough sadness about Amy Winehouse!

I've been on kind of a creative streak lately. I've been doodling/drawing a lot (mostly during class) as well as writing (not a lot, but more than I normally ever do). I think it might have something to do with my Adderall (I have ADD, in case you didn't know =D). It's weird, because I feel almost more creative when I'm taking it than when I'm not taking it or something... I guess it's just that I'm able to sort through all the crap in my brain and get it onto paper, instead of my mind going 1,000 miles a minute. There is a HUGE difference when I take my Adderall versus when I don't. I used to think there wasn't, but college has made me see otherwise. I'm a bit less talkative (but not really, only during class, which it important) when I'm taking my meds, and I'm also less interruptive & rude.

I'm working on a drawing of a skeleton holding a balloon, and I must say that drawing vertebrae is annoying. I can't get them right!

I also did yoga today, which made me very proud. I really need to get back in shape. I like how stretchy yoga is; it's relaxing.

Oh, and I played pool with Megan Reinhold & her roommates for an hour or so. I stink at pool, but it's still fun.

I think I'm going to continue drawing vertebrae? And listening to Amy Winehouse. G'night!

breakfast: Nothing. I slept through it because I didn't have German today. =]
lunch: a bag of popcorn
dinner: half a turkey wrap & a caramel apple latte (They exist, Ian!)


On second thought, I think I shall watch Metropolis, a German silent film from 1927. I got it from the library last week, and haven't watched it yet even though it's now overdue. I wanted to see it because of the anime Metoroporisu, which is based off of it. If you haven't seen Metoroporisu, you NEED TO (it's also called Metropolis in English); it's amazing.
