I made an amazing discovery today! Well, it's not a DISCOVERY discovery cuz, well, it was out on the Internet for anyone to see. But still, it's a discovery to me. I found the lyrics to Shop Assistants songs! Unfortunately neither Spotify nor, like, any online songs-lyrics website have the  lyrics to these songs. But fortunately I found a PDF file which contains the CD cover stuff, which contains, the lrycis to the songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a cold day in Portugal. A teenage boy sits in his classroom - the last class of the day. All of a sudden, he hears a song coming from the next classroom... They Might be Giants' Meet the Elements. Little does anyone here know, They Might be Giants is one of his favourite bands... But unfortunately to him, he is an extraordinarily nervous person, so he doesn't just go up and ask...
This was the beginning of the biggest mystery of my life. Who was the science teacher playing TMBG? Every day since then I've been finding ways to signal that I am a TMBG fan in an effort to find the mysterious fan. I added TMBG pins to my pencil case so maybe any of my teachers would maybe see them? But that didn't work. I've got tabs on my computer about TMBG. I make sure to very visibly show that I'm listening to TMBG on Spotify... But none of those worked. My next plan is to wear my TMBG shirt next time there's a free dress day... One day I'll find out. Surely!

Although it's slightly less practical, it's way cooler to use winamp and download songs, the """"""old-school"""""" way. I'd much rather be listening to music on CDs but, unfortunately, my computer somehow doesn't have a CD drive... Alas. I have Spotify, but I'd rather use Winamp. It's gonna be tough having to manually download my 2000+ songs on Soulseek... I'll shorten it down to just a few albums, maybe.
I think it's way more fun to do this than Spotify. But this one is just a me thing. I have memories of being younger and looking through Windows Media Player on my dad's computer and looking at all the songs, and I remember he'd put all his songs onto a little flashdrive and put it in the car, so I'll always feel a bit bitter when I see him replace that with Spotify. But it's fine.
Now I can do it myself. Maybe 10 years from now I'll have kids and I'll torture them with "old" technology from my time. And they'll wonder why I never use Bluetooth. Well, I guess Bluetooth will already be 'retro' by then. They'll probably invent a new way. Like, I don't know, you'll transfer the songs from your brain to the car. We'll see.
I got sidetracked there... Now onto the other thing I was going to talk about. I had a very fun day today! Not exactly productive, but... fun. Lots of stuff I did. I woke up at, like, 9:30 and then went to the gym. After that, we (me, my mom, and my dad) went to a cool little.. restaurant? I guess? Cafe? I'm not sure. But it was, like, a 5 minute walk from the gym. I had a burger. It was really good. Then we walked home. Now after this, we're going to have to go to my mom's friend's house, which I'm less hyped about. But it's always nice to have a chat and some food, I guess. It just sucks that I'll probably go to bed really late. I'm supposed to sleep at 10.
