Hounds of Love

I found out my favorite song from a certain band was a cover. Specifically, it's Hounds of Love by The Futureheads. It's kind of a shame, their album has become so much less than I thought. Not to say the rest of the album is bad, but Hounds of Love was always a huge standout for me. It's really the lyrics that make the song, so to find out they're not original is such a detractor.

The original is by Kate Bush, a fairly popular English singer/songwriter. I've had one of her songs that I liked for a while but this revelation prompted me to get the album. It's damn good. As for the original Hounds of Love, it's leagues above The Futureheads.

xkcd

xkcd is a webcomic I've been reading for years now. It appeals to the nerd inside with references to bits of a academia with a focus on programming. Lately they've been trending way down and today's comic is a prime example. http://xkcd.com/731/ Oh yeah there's lots of stuff under the water we can't see, that's real funny. Wednesday's comic suffered a different sort of death of comedy. http://xkcd.com/730/ oh a circuit, hilarious. This is undeniable pandering to the nerd crowd. There's too many jokes in this comic and none of them are funny.

So today and yesterday I've had food poisoning.

Yesterday was composed of vomiting, feeling nauseous, and visiting the bathroom every 5 minutes or so.

Today was just the latter. Trying to have violent diarrhea in a house full of 8 people without someone hearing your bowels empty has proved to be a difficult task. Whether it's Drew at his computer or Mike and Angela trying to take a shower. I'd use the girls bathroom but there's no soap in there... wtf eh? Eventually the task is given up. I'm taking a thunderous shit, deal with it.
