What a busy week it has been. No good outfits. As a matter of fact, hardly any time to even get dressed... I've been running uncharacteristically late to most things this week. But thank goodness it's the weekend, and hopefully that will bring something more exciting to talk about.
I was a little disappointed that we merely brushed over Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, etc, in History of Rock. Now, I understand none of them really made any significant contribution stylistically to the way anything was really done, but I sure as hell think they embody the Rock n Roll lifestyle. We did, however, get to spend almost an entire hour and a half listen to and watching videos of some of the worst "Death" and "Thrash" Metal I've ever heard in my life. Not that I really like any kind of metal... and even though Crue/GnR are considered "Glam Metal", they're far from what metal really is.
I kid you not... at one point we talked about a band called Mayhem, who was from either Norway or Sweden or one of those places up there, who burnt down these old beautiful churches to try to rid their country of religion. Crazy, right? Well, tack on the fact that one band member killed himself in the apartment of another, who then supposedly made soup out of his brain and necklaces out of his skull and took pictures of the dead body that they later used on an album cover. But don't worry, because another band member ended up murdering that guy anyways. I mean seriously... who wants to listen to THAT when you could be hearing all the wild Crue stories? Because believe me, go pick up a copy of The Dirt, TommyLand, or The Heroin Diaries, and you will realize there are plenty.
Basically left that class wishing I could have back that hour of my life. Oh well. I guess at least it wasn't completely boring... at least our professor is hilarious. Lots of one liners, but my favorite from this class was, as we are listening to Van Halen's "RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL", "They were radio friendly... nothing satanic about these guys!" Yeah, I mean, not counting the running with the devil part. Though I guess Eddie Van Halen and his parachute pants really aren't that threatening at all, so we get where he's coming from.
In fashion news, I just ordered this adorable bronze and purple "Get Keyed" necklace from Chewlry's Etsy Shop. I'm so excited! I've been wanting to buy it for practically a month since she listed it, and my darling mommy bought it for me for a Valentine's present! I'll obviously have lots of pictures up of that when it comes. Wish I had some now but I forgot to save them before I bought it and hence the post was removed. I'm sure a monster has been let loose now that I have an Etsy account, but at least I don't really HAVE any money to spend, so I guess it may not be much of an issue.
Hope everyone has been having a good week and has a great weekend... it's strangely 45 degrees here, but we're also expecting some other big winter storm in a few days? So I don't really know what's going on with Bloomington.
