cat haiku

Not sure the webmaster of this website wrote this or not, but good poem about his cat :)

new favorite song

New favorite song is called "fucking electric" or something off Pantera's 2000 album. The next song, "Yesterday don't mean shit" is awesome too.

One hand on the bottle, the other a shaking
Fist, rejuvinated, isolated, no pressure
From the outside, my sight’s goddamn electric
And these eyes have seen a world
Goddamn electric system...

:)

Cause yesterday don't mean shit
What's over is over and nothing between
Yesterday don't mean shit
Because tomorrow's the day you have to face
There's no rewinding time
Yesterday don't mean shit
Yesterday don't mean shit

great lyrics

If there was a day I could live
If there was a single breath I could take
I'd trade all the others away
I'd trade all the others away

yay

Sortof did some digging last night trying to figure out how the heck to get my old rave directory to scrobble right, as I had no idea what to put in the "artist" tag, and only had a vague clue on some of the filenames (along with a cryptic letter-number combination on most of the tracks). Well, after trying a bunch of stuff, eventually decided to try the old webpage, and to my surprise, it was alive again! Sortof makes me happy, was sad when I tried to listen one day and both that radio stream and Sick Onion had dropped off the internet. Anyways, after clicking on some of those links, discovered that practically all the songs off that station are from a couple of guys who call themselves "DJ Sharpnel". (Am very glad I set off to learn Japanese a few years ago, it makes me happy to not be in the "I wonder what the heck all this gibberish means" stage anymore :) ) Anyways, not the sort of music for everyone, I loaned a cd with some of their tracks on it to a friend I know who loves techno, and he gave it back with a "what the *bleap* kind of crap did you give me to listen to" sort of feedback. Ah, very jarring, very driving, lots of samples and melodies from anime and videogames and such...but some awesome and some really really pretty spots. But when I get into the mood for this type of music I usually listen to it all night long...really gets my adrenaline and happy neurotransmiters kicking in!! :)

Also, discovered another duo named Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo after my discovery, and have really been getting into them tonight. They have a couple of songs that are a little out there, but some awesomely pretty songs as well. Think they popped up on speedcore tag radio station, which is mostly very similar music. Another couple tag stations I've been listening to at obvious times are sleep and sleeping, both have very pretty, very mellow and soft songs. (Right now none of the radio streams are working for me at all, hopefully they will again soon).

Am in a pretty good mood. I get my first day off tomarrow after closing several days at my new job, which is going pretty darn good. Met some cool people, kinda a blast in the past..the type of job and what I'm doing. Is a lot more busy than my last job! I forgot how fast time blows by when you get a new job, I guess cause I have a lot to learn and am concentrating to figure out the right way to do stuff.

Also I'm pretty broke right now, so finally laying off the whiskey and cheap 3 point beer :) It feels really weird, but I know I think a lot faster when I've been sober for a few days, things just seem to go a lot smoother.

I’ve Eaten Like Shit All My Life but I Run a Lot Every Day

Most everything on this page is edible! Some of the cakes are awesome looking. Too pretty to eat, but some are very colorful and look very good. The Han Solo hershey's bar... sweet :)

Miracle diet pill with teeny-tiny side effect

These pills are awesome :)

firefight preparation

I don't have a gun, but I thought this article on being prepared for a gunfight confrontation was interesting.

radio

Added a radio station to the sidebar. I had been kindof skeptical about it until I tried it a few times, is very uncanny how it plays some of my favorite songs, at least with a pretty good ratio of stuff I've liked. Been thinking about resetting my stats though, as sortof annoying how my ipod will lie to my computer and say I listened to a song ah 20 times in the last 2 days. Not completely impossible, especially considering how much I had had to drink on some of those days, and some of the crazy nuts play counts were on songs I did like, but the thing is, somehow Garbage jumped to like my #2 band or something, as did Slayer and Maroon 5. Now I enjoy their new album a lot, but that's sortof crazy. I'd been thinking to just go with the flow and let my ipod have it's fun, but it's sortof annoying that the songs I really do play only once or 2-3 times, well they sortof overshadowed by whatever on ipod. Also...ipod really glitchy, is sortof fun except when it picks inconvienient times to just fizz out and deleting everything with a few fsck.vfat -a's in the mix too, plug in, unplug, plug in, unplug. Ah, trying to find the relevant portions in Amarok's source code to maybe get it a little less glitchy on the play counts, for some bands it works perfect, some it just nuts inflates. One thing I may not be able to do anything about is that I fear my ipod counts a play, even if's only 1 second to jump to next random track. It'd be regrettable if that was the case, considering it's interface is just skip skip skip till you find what you want :) Anyways, will see.

fixed blog

Finally got around to fixing my blog webpage and stuff. Hadn't really thought about it for a long time!

TuneGlue

This is a sortof neat toy. Type in the name of a band you like and then click on the little dot, click on "expand". Then do it again and again heh. Tries to tie related bands together, but can get a little hairy pretty fast!

time to panic!!

I guess Andromeda is heading straight for us at 60 miles a second!!! I guess when it eventually runs into us they are saying we will get hurtled out of our galaxy into deep space :(

awwww

Here's a flicker set with a lot of pictures of "Tiny Animals On Fingers". The little monkeys are so cute :) Caught a little praying mantis like the one in the first picture one day, it had been crawling up my neck and being especially sensitive to the idea of spiders, I swatted it but it ended up on my hand, had hurt one of its little legs I guess. Was so cool looking though.

aliiive

Finally got around to updating my username so I could log on to my blog. Been getting really nice outside over the last few days!

picturesque

It really is awesomely beautiful out there. For some reason the enormous snowflakes didn't like concrete or packed roads. But they liked everything else :) So what we get is white covering everything!!!!!! Except for sidewalks, streets, alley. And the snow, it is just so fluffy I just wanted to make a snowball and hurl it at my car. Well the snow's intact, is much prettier before anything but small mammels scurry through it. Is so much fun, making friends with a squirrel. It takes freaking months, and probably won't work out, in any case, lol. Chirp Chirp!!!!!

Ya I guess it's sortof embaressing but I made a squirrel friend today. Not really a close friend as I realize he may get hit by a car tomarrow, but he's been living in that tree for a long time so he's probably not so dumb to run out in the street for no reason. I've caught it several times before. Well, the neighbors have a wood fence, and dude will run down the fence and just sit there and try to look cool, or it will just launch itself down the fence. The first time I saw it do that, it failed miserabally and just launched itself down and landed horribly. But it took off way past it's tree, past the house and my field of vision, came back and ran a little ways out, ran straight on at the house and when it got there it went UP. All the way to the raftors and then on the ceiling to the little hole...into my attic. Uh, may be worth an expidition sometime, to find what squirrel-dude is hiding in the raftors :)
Anyways he eventually comes out and runs back.

Dang sorry about the long paragraph. Today I came out and stepped up to balcony, and there was Mr. Squirrel, right down there, have no idea what he was doing, besides obviously obsorbed in what it was doing. So I lean out and it doesn't move so I'm like "chirp chirp" and ya it looks at me but doesn't right away run off, just sortof looks at me like "give me a break." So I go, "chirp chirp" and it looks at me and runs off...to the tree. I'm like, haha ya you still hear me, "chirp chirp". I look up to where'd you'd run if you were a squirrel and you were running for your life, and no squirrel. So I'm like, "chirp chirp". And I lean out, and look around the edge and there is squrrel chan. I'm like, "chirp chirp" and it responds, jumping out then squirreling over to the other side of the tree, where it found something in the ground worth digging up. I was like, sweet. I said, "chirp chirp" and it ran off and back up the tree, so I was like, "chirp chirp". It realized the absurdity of the situation, and ran back down the tree and back out to where it had just been before.

Chirp chirp@!!!!!!

gorgeous

Last night it had been windy and turning crappy for awhile, then there was this ruckus outside, figured it had just got really windy again or maybe was raining. Kinda a switch from an idealistic spring afternoon just a few short hours earlier, with the drop in temperature. But when I went outside, there were little hail stones, well they were either them or REALLY BIG SNOWFLAKES. And they were just pouring down, not too fast, just sortof dignifiantly propelling them into the ground, as fast as their not so palpable tangible bodies would allow given the conditions. I figured I may grab the broom and do a little preemptive sweeping but I'm glad I didn't. Sometime soon later the snow changed to really fine, yet really sprawled out...really fluffy, and just completely covered EVERYTHING. The lifeless trees, the cars driving by,
the evergreens over the way, are all just so utterly gorgeous right now, heh. Guess if you have to endure 3 months of winter a year may as well enjoy some of it. Besides, when spring hits, it really hits.

The squirrels are sure having fun this morning. Hopefully today is nice with lots of sunshine to melt this abomination away!!!!
