Yeah I know I'm totally behind in posting this, but I might as well do it before January is over, at least. I didn't end up reading as much last year as in 2008, but I did end up doing a lot more than just sitting around my apartment geeking out (not that that wasn't amazing,alexiscartwheel !).
( The List )
- End of Time!

Holy crap! Look at me, actually posting on LJ! I've been such a bad daywaster these last few months! The whole moving thing threw me out of my normal daywasting routine, so I've had to find a new one. And now, after obsessively watching the first season of Bones in a week, I think I can take some time out of my "busy" schedule to post.
( So let's talk about The End of Time! )
- Best TV freakout ever.

Wow I haven't posted in forever. Maybe I should do that. For now, though, I have to share one of the funniest mental breakdowns ever witnessed on television.
A little setup: In the Bionic Woman episode Deadly Ringer, Jaime is confronted with an old nemesis that has had plastic surgery to look exactly like her (plastic surgery miracle, apparently). She is then mistaken for the other woman and ends up in jail. Since she insists that she is Jaime Sommers, they lock her in a padded mental ward cell. And then this happens:
Yeah. Scary.
- I did a really OCD thing...

It's almost the end of June, and music sites all over the internet are crammed with lists of their favorite albums so far this year. It's been a great year for music so far. I've discovered some great new and old bands over the past six months (obsessively, you could say).
( And the winners are... )
- Un Lun Dun by China Miéville

- June 23rd, 2009
I have quickly become a fan of the strange and fantastic worlds and cities of China Miéville. When I heard about Un Lun Dun, though, I wondered how his liberally-descriptive narrative style would translate to a young adult novel.
( There should have been no question to begin with. )
- Look! An Update!

Yay, I'm updating my LJ! I never do memes, but I thought one thatalexiscartwheel posted might be interesting.
Comment to this entry and I'll pick three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:
01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?alexiscartwheel picked Babylon 5, Veronica Mars and Slayers for me. So here we go!
( Cut for length and maybe tiny spoilers )
- Um, wow.

My messed up extended family has finally made it into the big times. 10TV news in Columbus, Ohio, baby! Seriously, when you hear a news story and are like "WTF why would you do that?" The possibility that my family has been involved in something similar is quite high.
Seriously. My cousin, shot by her crazy son?
Yep, just another one for the Farley family saga.
- Spoiler-less Star Trek Squee!

- May 9th, 2009
Star Trek was awesome! I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it was amazing. I do want to know, though, what is J.J. Abrams' obsession with giant, floating, reflective 3-D lettering? Also, I may have become a Kirk/Spock shipper.
- Margot!

What a lovely surprise when I got home to find the Animal! vinyl on my doorstep! I haven't put it on the turntable yet, but the album art is just fantastic.
Also, I listened to This Is the One today, Utada Hikaru's second album here in the U.S. I've got some things to say about that, but I'll save it till later. For now, I'm off to go fall into a blissful Margot-induced coma!
- $5 Album downloads <3
-
- d4ni
- May 5th, 2009
Seriously, amazon is the best place to buy music downloads. They almost always have a lower price than iTunes. Also, if you go here you can get a list of album downloads that are only $5 this month.
I'm a little peeved because I've already bought some of these, like Neko Case and Metric. But hey, what a great opportunity if you haven't got them yet! ::nudge nudge::
- Me? Posting? Perish the thought!

Yes, I know I already posted today, but this is too awesome not to share.
Shara Worden (of My Brightest Diamond) singing Tainted Love
Just scroll down and you can stream it or download it (because it's awesome!)
- I don't know what my obsession with dead presidents is

And now, for an addition thatmadmuppet2k reminded me of:
- I wish I was at the South by Southwest music festival

- March 18th, 2009
If you're gonna be up late tonight, NPR is streaming some live concerts from the South by Southwest music festival. The Heartless Bastards are on right now, which is a band that I've just recently come to love (thank you Kansas City Public Library for having one of their cds!). At 1 a.m. Eastern time, The Decemberists will be playing their entire new album live. Unfortunately, I will not be staying up that late. But maybe someone else can benefit!
- Bad signs

- March 16th, 2009
Every so often my dad will send Matt, Phil and I an e-mail with a pic he's taken with his iPhone of a sign with bad spelling and/or grammar. I just have to share today's because not only is the bad spelling amusing, I find the content quite funny as well.
Also I have to share that my favorite song of the moment is The Rake's Song by The Decemberists. You can get it and some other cool stuff for free off iTunes through NPR, which has a blog covering the South by Southwest music festival. Can't wait till this album comes out!
What song can't you stop listening to lately?
- OMG I'm still alive!

I haven't posted in forever! But I was so inspired by this post I found just a few minutes ago that I have to link to it. I'm not even sure I can properly describe this, but it's two scanned pages from an awful fantasy/romance novel that someone shared because they are hilariously horrible. Also, check the bottom of the post for amazing fanart and even an mp3 of someone dramatically reading this.
- OMG.

Killswitch Engage's Holy Diver video is the funniest thing ever.
[EDIT]: Um, wow, the video I posted was removed a couple hours after I linked to it? Geez. I guess if you're interested you can go here. Apparently it's only licensed for last.fm.
I had almost forgotten how much I love Howard Jones' voice. And really, can you beat heavy metal musicians in medieval garb?
