...is rocking my world...it's honestly just such a great modern progressive rock album. Danny Carey's drumming is at once frenetic, technical, and groovy. Adam Jones' surrealist, sludgy tone is altogether sublime (yeah, fuck you, it just came out in that alliteration). Maynard's voice...a bit muddled in the mix...it's good, but kinda lost amidst ( Read more... )

...and I can make it even MORE awkward. ;)

Last night, I went to Nick's house for a dinner party of sorts. While I intended to arrive at about 5-5:30, my mother was not ready to leave until 6, and we arrived an hour later than what I expected.
