Can someone clarify why there's no structured narriative

No neat storyline to explain
Wish on everything
Pray that she remains proud and strange
And so hopelessly hopeful

Funny, cause i was just going to write a postcard, and it is raining here again. I suppose you have to be a Weakerthans fan to understand that reference, but oh well. If you're not, I've got a boatload of reasons why you should join the Church of John K. At the very top of that list is the fact that 'Reunion Tour', the much-awaited new album by said glorious band, has leaked on the internet, and this little traveler has gotten her hands on it. Listening to it the first time was like a religious experience. I cannot praise this band enough; everything from the bass lines to the lyrics... oh crikey those lyrics... hands down, my favorite band. Not gonna lie, I'm a little bummed that I'm going to miss them when they come to Philly in September, but I will be seeing Ben Lee and Spearhead around that same time, so... I guess that kindof makes up for it.

Not too much new, aside from the aforementioned musical brilliance. I have become addicted to HOUSE. Ohhh Dr. House, your angry, witty remarks, your addiction to pain killers, your limp, your ingenious solutions to one-in-a-million problems... I love it. Rach, Janis and I watched eight episodes of it last night on dvd. Oops? I can't help it, when I start to watch a show, I get really, really, ridiculously into it. Hey, it was cheaper than going out and spending mad dollas on booze. Healthier, too. I think tonite we're watching Minority Report or something like that, and tomorrow is arts and crafts and cake day. Pumped about it! We're working on not spending a whole lot of money this weekend. Ya know, save up for the big trip, which is about a month away!! Ahh, I cannot wait.

Err, what else. My family sent me a package! A pirate t-shirt from the Bahamas. Glad to know they've accepted who I am... a 21 year old girl with a borderline-unhealthy affinity for pirating. YARG.

I've got the urge sing, shower, shop for relatively unnecessary but fun things, and drink Bailey's and coffee. I think I'm going to go take care of one and two, then head off for three in order to accomplish four. Looks like the sky cleared up, too. Bonus points.

So, until next time...
