The above song I want in the soundtrack of my life (it is from the opening credits of "Boondock Saints" and can be found at the bottom of this page). And no, I do not want to become a religious vigilante. The song is a marvelous work of Irish music, the melody is inspirational, proud, defiant...but there is an underlying hint of tragedy, a hint ( Read more... )

I made it through my first week of classes this semester. It's going to be busy, despite not having nearly as many credits as I thought I would. It's great to be back in the 'burg and see the P-Wave Shadow Zone and others again. Reves is a most excellent hall; it's only a hop, skip, and a jump from cw...I go walk down DoG street almost every ( Read more... )

Although it's more like Mom's basement... When my mom and I were out perusing the stores the other day for back-to-school clothing we noticed that the Bohemian look is "in" right now.

Cr...Chromium
You scored 18 Mass, 28 Electronegativity, 80 Metal, and 0 Radioactivity! Oooohaaaaah.... shiny! You probably have an incredibly stable and well-maintained group of friends... that probably also don't get out much either. You're not one to get bogged down by a problem. Of course, I'm basing this upon Chromium's ultra-low water- ( Read more... )

Harry Potter is like crack; it is extremely addictive. I didn't think that I could stand to wait until Thursday (at the earliest) to start reading the book, especially when all around me have begun reading it and some, like shadydave, have already finished the book. I had to get my HP fix. So... I broke down and bought the American edition, er, actually I ( Read more... )
