Detention - Saturday 3/4

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

Lorelai is a lot of things, but a technological whiz is not one of them, so when students enter the Danger Shop on Saturday, it looks like... the Danger Shop. There were entirely too many buttons for her to figure out how to change it.

The list of names is on the board:

Piper Halliwell
Lilly Kane
Draco Malfoy
Paige Matthews
Peter Parker

"Okay, gang, I don't know what you did to earn detention today, but I'm supposed to keep you busy all day. I planned, what I hope, are some fun activities that will also make you think about whatever it is that landed you here. You may talk quietly with each other while you complete these activites, as long as you are, indeed, working. If you're all behaved and you get everything done, you'll be dismissed at 5 pm EST FHT. If you're not behaved, well, from what I understand, I can keep you here all night."


[ocd up! I'll be on and off throughout the day. I moved last week and still have all some unpacking to do. I also have plans to go out to dinner with my roommate and a couple friends. I also have in game stuff to do with my other characters, so forgive any slow replies. Ping me on AIM (veronicamarsFH) if you need me!]

Re: Activity #2

Peter wasn't actually very big on music what with being from an action-oriented series in a silent medium, although he had recently started listening to some punk for no specific reason, really. Therefore, he didn't really have anything to say in this essay. Fortunately, he also tended not to have much to say in his newspaper articles and journalism essays, but had an ability to stretch any thought out up to three times longer than was fully necessary thank Bendis.

In general, music from the 80s is much more earnest than the music of today, even if that earnestness is covered up by synthesizers. Back then, music had a meaning that was often thinly veiled. The Police were all about stalking. The Vapors really liked their alone time. Billy Joel liked playing the piano, man. Okay, two out of three isn't bad.

Today's music - with a few notable exceptions, such as Rob Thomas's crappy but endearingly earnest "Ever the Same" - often just is what it is. The surface level is all there is to the song. Just look at Britney Spears. Her songs generally have no point. That's not atypical at this point.

Peter counted his words. 115. On something he didn't have an opinion of. He was pleased with this result.
