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.

Graphic Content Ahead

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.

Magic

I had a dream about magic:tg last, I must be thinking about it too much. Recently I've been considering trading in my money cards for either better cards or just the cash. The cards I want to trade in are probably about to drop in value and the cards I want to get will probably only go up.

But the money is tempting too. We're talking 6 pieces of cardboard valued at $60 a piece(4 Baneslayer Angel, 2 Jace, the Mind Sculpter), Holy Shit! The card I really want is $80 a pop(Tarmogoyf), that's some pricey cardboard. But every deck at a certain level uses it.

I want to do a legacy tournament on Saturday but no one is willing to do it with me. Damn

Gaga

I just watched the telephone Lady Gaga video. Wtf is this shit, I'm just really annoyed. The amount of Lady Gaga in my life is like a 7 and I want it to be a 2.

This videos already gotten over a million views. It's scary to see racial tension explode like that. You never realize how many closeted racists there are in the world until you read the comments on a video like this.

" So you are one of those indoctrinated morons who believe that Niggers are simply White people with black skin?

Negroes are not even on the same evolutionary branch as Whites and Asians are. They are a completely separate species."

Wow.
Almost as bad are the people posting about how funny they think the video is. Yeah, real fucking hilarious.

The Office

I just finished watching all of the English version of the office. I think what really makes it better then the American version is the fact that it ended. Had the American office ended just a few seasons ago it would have been much better but it keeps going. But my point here isn't that shows should end when they should end, that's a tired enough argument, it's the uncertainty that I like. English Pam is with English Jim, but they're not married. English Micheal Scott had a successful date, but it's just one date. I assume the writers want to leave with a good taste in your mouth and hunch that everything will work out in the end, but they don't force it.

The American office's story is over. Jim and Pam are married and pregnant. What's left? Should I keep watching because I want to make sure the Dunder-Mifflin is not going under? It's too obvious now.

That's too bad, the jokes are better in the American Version.
