New Purchases And Stuff
May 29, 2005 11:59 pm Book Related, General, Movie Related, Music Related, Renown MagazineToday actually ended up being a fairly active day for the most part. It turned out that I didn’t have to help set up at the fundraising garage sale because they had a lot of help already. Honestly, I would have still gotten up early and went to help out if they needed me, but I have to admit I’m kind of glad I didn’t have to since I was up until 12:30 or 1 AM the night before. I know, I know, it’s selfish. I’m a loser. But again, had they not called me the night before saying I wasn’t needed, I would have still gotten up early and went to help out. So it’s not that I didn’t want to.
Instead I actually slept in (oops) and woke up in time to have a shower, get ready, and head to church. After that we went through the Wendy’s drive-thru (hooray for Homestyle Chicken Strips) and brought it home where my sister wanted to watch the movie A Cinderella Story. I haven’t seen it before, but it was actually not too bad I guess.
After the movie, it was off to the city where we only went to a few different locations (sadly not in the area of the music store though). I ended up picking up the new Lifehouse album for four or five bucks cheaper than I’ve seen it everywhere else, and the book “Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas” for over ten bucks cheaper than other places. Not bad at all.
I’m actually just finishing the Lifehouse CD now. It’s pretty good, I like it. It’s mellower (seems to be the thing to do these days), but it’s got stuff that fans of their older rock material will dig.
The book I picked up is essentially like one big long interview with Bono of U2, only each chapter is a different session that the author sat down and spoke with him. So I guess it’s like a bunch of interviews together making one big long one. Bono speaks about a number of things; some he hasn’t spoken about before. He talks about the band, the music, his faith, politics, and tons more. It sounds somewhat boring, but it honestly isn’t from what I’ve read so far by skimming the book. It should be a good, educational read. Now I just need to find the time…
When we came back from the city I had some supper and then my sister decided to want to watch Raise Your Voice (I guess she was on a Hilary Duff kick or something). She hadn’t seen it before this time around either, so it was a new experience for both of us. It was alright too I guess… There was a guy with a cool accent in it.
Tomorrow is update on Renown Magazine time. Man, I’ve got so much stuff to do for that site in general… But we will have four new reviews and an interview sometime tomorrow for, as I said in the previous entry. More content will come once I’m able to get my feet firmly planted on the floor again…
Now another week begins and I’m back at it. What new surprises will be in store for me this time? Who knows… I smell something big is possibly brewing though…
Well, that’s it for me tonight gang. Remember to check out Renown Magazine tomorrow and read the new content, then tell me what you think.
Godspeed.
