Iran runs windows!


Things to watch out for when I set up our web server :-) I don't think we'll be slashdotted ;-)

Wow -- objectivity out the window

I'd almost call this kid a cry for help, but it's just too funny to do that. I was hunting around to get the track listing for a certain album which I might not buy myself, but for the purposes of a broad collection and the joining of two playlists, hey, what won't I do? :-D But here we go, the review of "Savage Garden:"

I once got into Savage Garden when I was a poor, deluded, and lovestruck teenager. I got into them when I heard the song of "Truly, Madly, Deeply" on the radio. At first, I stood my ground and refused to buy anything that had to do with love, but all of a suden, I became so deluded, so lovestruck, and so poor, that I was suckered into buying the album from where the song came from. It was that I found out where the song came from. It is from this stupid album by a stupid group known as Savage Garden.

It is also from this album, that I heard just how weak humanity has become, and it's all because of some pathetic emotion they call "Love." That's what Soft Rock music talks about, and it never varies. If you buy this, then you are poor deluded, weak, and so lovestruck, that you will have no clue of what real life is, and all that will rule your life is your deluded fantasies which will never come true. I realized that when I grew up from my teenage years.

The only music that is good is that of Nox Arcana, and Midnight Syndicate, music from the Omen films, and that of Castlevania music. I'm glad Savage Garden is gone for good. Who in their right mind still listens to these fools today? If you buy this album, then you are a person with a bad taste in music.

Now, here's the funny part -- and let's not overlook it -- "and that of Castlevania music." Man, we're gonna have to turn this kid onto www.ocremix.org -- he can branch out into all sorts of other game music. But seriously -- is he like the press agent for Nox Arcana? Read some of those other reviews and get this kid a gift card to Hot Topic or something...

Ya see, I think that between all the Latin and all that German I took in college, I could probably start up my own ponderously naval-gazing goth band -- I might need some help with the mascara, but I'm sure that could be arranged ;-)

Gas Prices

I'm glad that I got the 4 cylinder Subaru -- I've heard innumerable discussions today about the high price of gas, and just now, and I kept my mouth shut -- there is a price to be paid for "luxury" -- and I don't ascribe to a new shell on top of the same old chassis as "luxury" -- Audi A4 owners take notice! ;-) Let's just hope that my next car runs on something other than petrol --

Speaking of which -- Billy Bragg -- very British!

"You can call me Randi"

That was the opening line to our new class the other night -- and I was thinking on the way in -- what a funny name! I think it has really reached it's apex with everyone's most unfavorite pitcher Randy Johnson, but there's plenty of room for second place there, at least while remaining on this side of the proper line :-) I'll leave it for you to come up with stuff...

Weight Watchers Cards, Circa 1974

I can't even believe it -- ugh :-)
