I love how they put, "This is not a real charge card" on the fake credit cards they send you in the mail. As if anyone who would actually believe a card with all zeros and John Smith as the cardholder name could be used to buy things would at all be phased by the statement in tiny letters at the bottom ( Read more... )

Because I am entirely unwilling to post on any Audioscrobbler board (I refuse to call it Last.fm), I'm posting this little meme here. Actually, I'm putting off doing something else, but this is more fun. You even get a free mp3 in here if you read it all the way through. (Or skim it for the link, if you're lazy and only in it for the music. Traitor ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Tuatha De Danann absolutely made my day. Then I finally took up The Once and Future King, intending to read as much as possible to finish the damn thing, when the Tuatha De Danann was mentioned. I love it when things like that happen. I would have skipped over the phrase and ignored it if I hadn't listened to the band that day ( Read more... )

It's kind of funny that I message someone, and I think, 'Why aren't they responding right away?' Then I remember that people have lives outside the internet. I thought that multiple times today.

Buncha freaks, in my opinion.

I tend to listen to certain bands and wind up expecting a Therion riff to begin. It's kind of a shame that I already know of the band that fits my taste in music like a jigsaw puzzle, because everything else pales in comparison. I do see bands for who they are, and don't compare them to Therion all the time, recognizing their unique sound and ( Read more... )

Picturing 2008, 2009, and 2010 in print creeps me out a little bit. I'm used to seeing 300 BC, 1138 AD, and years like that. 2010 makes me feel like I'll soon be shoved on a spaceship without my permission and hurtled over to the next galaxy. Everything will be made of chrome.

I've been compiling a list in my brain of all the reasons why I can't ( Read more... )

Prick is really hitting the spot after listening to so much Amorphis, Agathodaimon and other rather heavy bands.

I'm beginning the most recent Nine Inch Nails album. Pray for my soul, everyone.

I keep trying to do other things, but all I really care about right now is Henry VIII in the novel I'm reading. I want to gobble up 16th century history and learn French so I know what some of the characters are saying (I need a French dictionary before I can really get going with it, though) and. Gah. I need to be a history major. I read a book ( Read more... )

Even though my headphones are slowly deteriorating to the point where I want to throw them against the wall to finish them off (put the poor dears out of their misery), I'm obsessing over Apocalyptica radio on Pandora. My favorite instrument (cello) meshed with rock. Fantastisch. The similar artists that they've played have been spectacular. Now ( Read more... )
