Happy Halloween!

Hope you've got your college applications done. ;)

Back Inside: Finding where the wild things were

Spike Jonze has created one of the most polarizing films of the year and I really liked it. 'Nuff said.

Ah, the benefits of having an older sibling

"Hamlet was a ham, and Piglet was his father. Now his uncle was evil, so he went and killed Piglet. Then Hamlet's mother, Sowlet, married Hamlet's uncle." --My sister, ~10 years ago when I asked her what Hamlet was about

This was her followup explanation, now that I'm going to be reading Hamlet next for AP Lit:
"Piglet had to die, as a preemptive strike against swine flu."

Song of the Goehring Unit--10/12/09

Never in a Million Years by Cara Dillon--This song just about sums up my relationship with a certain guy for a while.



Lyrics:
If you want me I'll be at your door
And if you need me I'll be by your side
'Cause every day is a long winding road
And I want you right here don't you know

I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why
I always try, I wonder why, I wonder why

Chorus:
Every time I look at you I feel the blues
Can't hide the pain inside
No one ever told me that my heart could break a hundred-thousand times
Never in a million years I thought that tears could break a heart of stone
If you need me let me know

Well, if you've got no one to give your heart to
And if you've searched and you can't find the truth
When they tell you this time to let go
Well, I'll always be here - don't you know

I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why

Chorus

Oh, nobody told me 'bout the wind and the trees
And the summer breeze and
You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
And the light is slipping through
And I've seen the sun catching your eye
Like the moon in the sky

Every time I look at you I feel the blues
Can't hide the pain inside
No one ever told me that my heart could break a hundred-thousand times
And though you've never asked me to believe it's true

I've loved you from the start
Oh I've got to find a way to mend today
These wings that need to fly
No one ever told me that my heart could break a hundred-thousand times
Never in a million years I thought that tears could break a heart of stone
If you need me let me know

By the way, if you enjoyed this song, I would definitely recommend checking out some of Cara Dillon's other songs as well. Her sweet, lovely voice and the bittersweet songs make for an excellent combination. I particularly suggest Craigie Hill, There Were Roses, and Bonny Bonny.

A note about Journalism

I would like to point out that any opinions Mr. Eric Wan has expressed on Silver Chips do not necessarily reflect the opinion of all those involved with this shiznits. For instance, "I like people?" C'mon Mr. Wan. You're breaking my balls here.

Here's a question for all you smart and sassy types...

Would you rather be a ninja or a robot?

Hmm...

Looking at the results of the poll so far, it appears that whoever said "lief is just fien, thank u vry much" also said "Ah! College apps!" Contradictory, much?

College Essays, Eh?

I'm sorry, we're fresh out of creativity, would you like to put some on back order?

Order form coming soon.
