halo triad

i just played a little Halo with Drew, and Q. Q claimed to have improved since when we last played, and he proved himself right. what really baffles me is the fact that Drew was actually playing a lot better himself. it doesn't make sense because not three days ago he was doing horribly. craziness. drew took a few pics, i'm sure those will surface relatively soon.

today i was sucked in by the awful world of MTV programming. i watched an episode of Made and two episodes of the latest Real World: Miami. the Real World is ridiculous. they don't even try to cover up the fact that they cast people with clashing personalities into the same home every time. is there still a fratboy who cheats on his girlfriend? yes. is there still that one girl who's even bitchier than the others? yes. is there a token black fellow. of course. do they go on a trip which makes them all really irritable so they blow up at each other? uh huh. all this in just two episodes.

for those who've heard/seen it. do you think that new Modest Mouse single, "Float On," sounds like it could be a Clash song? it does to me. also, the video for Franz Ferdinand's single is similar in style to the video for "Float On."

billy, what's the word on Franz Ferdinand. it seems their single is a pretty straightforward rocker. what's the rest of the CD like (do you know)?
