i will die of homework

babysat today for the worst family ever. seriously, the worst. the nine-year-old was miley cyrus obsessed. and a brat. so, as punishment for her brattiness, her parents took away her ipod (which, hello, why do nine-year-olds get ipods? i had to wait til eighth grade!). however, she has all of the stupid hannah montana/miley cyrus cds, which she played all day long on her cd player (in summary: her parents have the worst punishments ever, why bother taking the ipod and leaving the cd player). and when i made her turn it off so the four- and six-year-olds could nap, she threw a fit. -.- and the two little ones burst into tears in the middle of whatever stupid disney dance movie was playing on abc family (it had like demi lovato or selena gomez or whoever the not-miley one is) because they played that sarah mclachlan commercial with the dying puppies. (and wow, was that a fail on abc family's part, because why would you play a commercial guaranteed to make kids cry during a kid movie?)

been doing homework for the last forever. still in the process. my soundtrack today has mostly been the live in phoenix cd from fall out boy (i don't know why, but i love live recordings by musicians so much more than the studio versions), comfortably numb by dar feat. ani difranco and eva cassidy's cover of fields of gold:

yeah, the depression factor of that song? it's totally reflected in my mood today. nothing crushes the soul like calculus/lit/physics. man, i can't wait until college. that said, i really love this cover because her voice is so pretty and i have trouble taking most of sting/the police's songs seriously because the synth is so distracting.
