I’m not really feeling it, but there’s a huge party brewing here tonight. A few of the Americans cooked up the idea a week or two back, and word spread, and now we have quite a guestlist going on. The basement is being converted into a party room, with Christmas lights hanging, huge rasterized images … Continue reading

I love bonus tracks. Seriously, they’re great. And the freaking Japanese get them all. But living in Europe, it means I have access to at least some bonus track-equipped CDs, although they’re rarely the same as what Japan sees. (If that doesn’t encourage online file-sharing, I don’t know what does.) Check out this gem I … Continue reading

I love the architecture all over this place. Whenever I talk about it, the Germans are completely lost. They can’t understand how I can think that lots of glass and hard angles is stereotypically German building styling. Then they say, “Ohhh, you mean within the past couple decades!” Yeah, asshole, that’s what I mean, because … Continue reading

Before sleep, sometimes I toss on a coat, grab my MP3 player, and sit out on the balcony for a while. I stare at the silhouettes of trees and watch the lights click off in the campus building next to mine, as engineering students shake the last drops of coffee from their cups. The branches … Continue reading

I don’t hate Christmas. I don’t hate Christians. (Well, not just for being Christian, anyway.) What I hate is asshat politicians pandering to inbred social retard Biblethumpers. (OK, I hate Christians.) Check out this bill: H. Res. 847: Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith RESOLUTION Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the … Continue reading

This is pretty freaking incredible news. Vocalist MATT BARLOW Rejoins ICED EARTH I giggled with joy when I read this. Barlow is a metal legend, who left Iced Earth after 9/11, because he felt that at such a crucial time in American history, he should be doing some greater good than singing in a metal … Continue reading

Bought new glasses. The old ones were junk, as I’ve adequately explained, but my good father had budgeted for new glasses for me via his insurance plan. He informed me that it was only good for glasses purchased in 2007, so I had to step on it if he was going to make a claim. … Continue reading

Working on my project tonight, I found out what a wonderful idea it is to read code while listening to death metal. I’ve heard that a lot of programmers listen to techno while coding, but that could just be a lie with which the Wachowski Brothers inculcated me. I’ve certainly noticed, however, that a lot … Continue reading

What can I say, sleep’s on my mind at the moment. You know, there are some really beautiful songs I know that are about sleep. This first one isn’t specifically about sleep, but the imagery is dream-like, and still gives me pause whenever I hear it. Agalloch – In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion … Continue reading

Have a lab due for my operating systems class tomorrow, have to have it 100% finished tonight. Basically, the plan of action is so: // Getting_shit_done.odt : base of operations #include <hot_tea> #include <chips> #include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std; string homework (“What’s all this bullshit right here”) // OK to substitute actual work … Continue reading
