Episode 31: Back Again? (or: So Soon?)

So, I apologize for the horrible size/resolution issues with the previous post. You can't even click on most of the pictures to see the full sized versions. I don't know what happened. And I'd repost them, but I did those comics at work and then deleted them out of fear of being yelled at (whoops?), so. Maybe someday I'll do another one or something, I don't know.

Since the weekend starts, for me, on Thursdays after Acct. 1, I feel it's ok to talk about my weekend plans;

Go to this really awesome VAST concert in Lincoln, NE:
VAST is this band which is pretty much just this guy, Jon Crosby. He's got a Bono-like voice and a good ear for musicality. I fell in love with his music almost immediately after graduating from high school and then, before the end of my very first semester here at Drake I caught up on all his released music to date.

Most bands that I like are not mainstream. A lot of people say that, but those people really mean "not mainstr-emo," because they like these emo "bands" that they think no one else listens to, but in the end, every other emo "kid" with "unique tastes" listens to the same "music." Wow, lot of sarcasm-related-quotes there, huh?

Anyhow, my point is, I never see any of the bands that I like live, really, because they are either on a coast or in some other country (i.e. my favorite band, Hooverphonic, who never leaves the Belgium area...), but VAST is doing a show in Lincoln and, well, I'm really excited. I'm taking a camera and will probably get some pictures. But that concert is tonight at 9:30pm, less than 12 hours away. I'm really, really excited.

Dad's Birthday/World of Warcraft
Of course, the day after VAST is the 13th, my father's birthday. Since I am carpooling to the VAST show, and seeing as how I don't think they would really wanna help celebrate my dad's birthday, I will be driving back to Drake after the concert and then - weather permitting - drive home the next day. This sound stupid? It is.

I never remember my dad's birthday. Actually, I only remember my mom's because it, like my own birthday, is on the 5th of a month, and my older brother's birthday because it's five days before mine. Otherwise, I never remember my younger brother or father's birthday, and I never could remember my sister's, either.

So, of course, I got the ticket for the VAST concert months ago, without knowing any better. I is dum.

But! If I go or if I stay here, we are planning on playing World of Warcraft (we: Me, my brothers, and my father in our group of characters named after books of the Bible) Friday night. Nerd, right? Well, I haven't touched the game in over a month because of other things getting in the way. The first few hours of gameplay will involve everyone re-learning their respective characters and, quite frankly, it sounds awesome.

NOTHING ELSE
The rest of the weekend I plan on relaxing until next week, when we'll probably see the end of my life because we're on the downward spiral into finals week. And, quite frankly, I'm not too excited about that.
