Coca-Cola is a teeth eroder

On Tuesday I went to see the Sword at the Magic Stick in Detroit. IT WAS LOUD. Loudest thing I've ever heard. My ears were ringing two days after the concert. I was actually a little scared for the health of my ears after day one. Every other concert I've ever been to has left me with ringing, but it only lasts one day maximum. This concert, however, left me partially deaf for a day and with ringing in day two. Even though it was loud, I really loved it.

My one gripe would be the poor sound quality. After listening to the two opening bands (both sucked) I figured out that every high note would take three years of hearing from me. The speakers also could not handle any high notes so it sounded horrible. That is the fault of the venue, not the bands. So I try not to complain too much.

It was awesome to see a band that is famous (in my eyes) so close for so cheap (only $12). If you're unfamiliar with the Sword but familiar with Guitar Hero II, they play "Freya." One of the guitar players even mingled with the crowd during the openers. It was pretty cool.

I helped a guy from Circuit City move yesterday. That was fun. I hadn't seen him for a couple of weeks and it was definitely nice to help him out. We got most of the heavy lifting done. He's moving in with another former Circuit City co-worker who is female, so I felt really helpful lifting the mattresses. If anyone who reads this is moving this summer, let me know. I would love to help.

I'm reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. It is a book I was supposed to finish for one of my classes last semester. I started and now I have to finish. It's torture. It seems like it will never end. So, on Thursday I decided I would start another book. I had borrowed Choke by Chuck Palahniuk from the library a few weeks ago, so that was the book I started around 11:30 a.m. I finished it around 2:30 a.m. Friday morning. I had never read a book in less than 24 hours before (unless it was a children's book). I felt quite accomplished after that. I'm now finishing up Matilda by Roald Dahl. I'm a reading machine.

Aside from that, life has been moving along. I definitely would not call it boring, but there hasn't been a whole lot of noteworthy going on. When I do something REALLY exciting, you'll all know.
