Word association thingy.

December 4, 2008

Let’s have a little fun with this post. The idea came to me randomly through the evening, and by now it’s been stewing in my brain for just long enough to have it start to make sense. I could also be going a tad insane from school, but I have no way of proving that as of yet.

So here’s the idea: I’m going to pick a word at random, and then continue writing down all the words and first thoughts I have based on that word and everything that follows. Things may not actually follow in a fluid pattern. I’m sure this will be a clear window into the dark regions of my mind. To stop outside influences, I am performing this without any music, Television or other stimulus.

You’ve been warned.

P.S. I invite any and everyone to participate in the comments!

A Classical Admittance

September 29, 2008

I’ve got something to admit to. A secret that I’ve had for a long time. Something that very few people know about me, and I’ve kept this quiet for a very long time. I’ve had somewhat of a re-awakening to something that I though I had left behind me.

I like classical music. Beyond that I’m a fan of opera, all forms of choir music, and even musicals. I even have a keen spot in my heart for well-arranged soundtrack of both T.V. and Movie.

That’s right people, I’m basically a monocle-wearing classical enthusiast.

Evil Dead The Musical

August 18, 2008

I happened to get some tickets to Evil Dead The Musical for last Saturday…that is, the Saturday that just passed. We were off to the side, and just outside the “splatter zone”. With a surprisingly small amount of props (though the ax, the 12 gauge, the chainsaw and the Necronomicon all make their appearances) and almost childishly simplistic sets, Evil Dead The Musical blew me out of the water with wit, energy, and so much homage that it almost hurts.

I’m almost at a loss for words to describe this stage performance. Fantastic, B, Sparse, Electrifying, Camp, Entertaining, Rude, and I’m sure I could think of more were I willing to dedicate more time towards the effort. Suffice it to say, it’s a great night out and it’s probably the best 40 dollars (for two tickets) that I’ve ever spent.

My new MacBook is so… white

July 31, 2008

Seriously, it’s so white that it actually seems to give off light itself. It stands out so harshly against the rest of my room because it looks so clean and minimal. It’s like a work of art sitting on top of a rubble pile in Chernobyl. It’s so clean and pristine that I feel like I’m sullying it every time I lay my grubby fingers on it.

Some of you may be wondering why I’d now be a Mac owner. Those of you who know me know that I’ve never been a fan of Macs generally speaking. I find them overly simple, their mouse scares and distrubes me, they have some extra keys, and Mac users tend to be just so damned snooty. Have I sold out?

Some new wallpapers

March 10, 2008

I did these a couple weeks ago with the idea of doing a whole series of them. I still might, actually. In any case, I give you 2.0 Wallpapers. They’re all in 1280 x 1024 format, but You can shrink ‘em down if you’re really feeling it.

And with that I am going to lay down, because my head feels like it’s about to explode.

Yes I’m aware that this is a bit of a cop-out post, but I made a bonus one on Friday so that’s my excuse.

G’night.

Across the Universe (2007)

October 8, 2007

I recently watched “Across the Universe,” a musical that takes place in the 1960s involving Jude (Jim Sturgess) as a dock worker who sets off from Liverpool to find his father. Upon the sad and simple meeting of his estranged father, Jude befriends Max (Joe Anderson) wherein he meets Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood).

The three migrate to New York to see where life takes them. Jude and Lucy hook up and are painfully in love. A lot of the movie is based entirely around their evolving love; through their dizzying highs (literally in some cases) and depressing lows.

Finally got the wallpapers up

September 26, 2007

I finally dragged my ass out of lazy town long enough to get my old wallpapers up. I don’t know how many people still use 1024×768 resolution anymore, but there they are.
