Am listening to the new NIN disc (Year Zero) for the 2nd non-interrupted time...and fuck the neighbors, they'll just have to deal with the cranked sub at 10:47pm. What have they done for me? (lately).
I still stand by my original gut feeling which was that this sounds very laptop-ish. But when played on a system that I can hear all the intricacies (sp?), I must say this is quite a layered album. Impressive. I don't really give a fuck about all the "genius marketing" or the whole theme...cos I stopped caring about what artists think a long time ago. But I am enjoying this album yessir. Thumbs up and seal of approval here.
In other news, our apartment smells extremely fruity these days. That's cos Drew and I (unwittingly) purchased scented oil shit that is egregiously femme. That doesn't seem to keep deter women from stopping over (although Megan did point out that the combination of the fragrance and the matching patio furniture is a little east of hetero). Speaking of matching patio furniture...I think I can safely say we scored the coolest bargain in 'ol 180 Jeff for that shit. 60 bucks for two fly ass chairs and a tempered glass (that means it doesn't shatter kids) table. This shit even LOOKS like two homosexuals picked it out. That means i'm on the right track right? My mom will be here next weekend so we'll see if it passes the "you don't look like you live in a dumpster" test.
I bailed on the swim meet this weekend because I wussed out on some critical training. It's not that I'm gonna be slow, but well, I'm not gonna be as fast as I wanna be for a statewide debut either.
Scott Buerhle pitched a no hitter against Texas last night? Oh what's that? You're a Cubs fan? Yeah, um...you beat Cincinatti this weekend. ROCKWITCHOBADSELF...derrrr
Life is also officially fucked. Chris Randall, who up until now has been a study in 'cool' says he watches American Idol. Well not only does he watch it, but he looks forward to it. WTFBBQ is this world coming to? That's like Henry Rollins saying he looks forward to watching America's Next Top Model. I mean, sure there's some hot chicks, but c'mon dude, you're Henry Rollins! Guys like me need to know that at any given point in our lives we can ask "How would Chris Randall handle this situation" and know there's not an iota of a chance the answer is "He'd say "fuck it" and watch a TIVO'd American Idol"....black becomes white, dogs and cats start living together....MASS HYSTERIA!!!
Henry please don't watch ANTM. It's one thing if Natalia obsesses over that shit, but she didn't sing for Black Flag.
