Just got back from the Metro in Chicago, went to see Dark Tranquility. Quite the badass show. The first band Scar Symmetry opened early, they were okay. The second band was Into Eternity, a pretty badass Canadian band. Dark Tranquility was who I went to see though, and they rocked my nuts so hard I don't think I'll even have to bother getting a ( Read more... )

I just think this is a funny clip. It's made all the better by the fact that Mary laughs at anything when she's tipsy. Gotta love college! ;)

A few weeks ago we were used to slow days in the benefits center were we had tens of minutes, often times over an hour in between calls while we sat around and talked and basically did nothing. Now all ( Read more... )

It's that time again! Dark Horse has released Volume 5 in the cosmically awesome Vampire Hunter D series, The Stuff of Dreams. I'm only a few pages into it at this point, because work is time consuming, as is hanging out in Chicago until 3am apparantly. But it will get read further this week ( Read more... )
