In order to understand my book collection, you have to understand how I purchase books; rarely do I buy anything I haven’t already read. This may seem strange to some, because why get it once you’ve already read it? With me, I buy books generally because I read it and loved it so much I [...]

After a solid day of listening to the new Type O Negative album, I have to say that I am enjoying the music a lot. I like both of their sounds, the faster stuff (Carnivore-esque) and the more “cuddly,” slower stuff, so I’m generally happy with whatever they put out. I am not happy, however, [...]

guitar playing About a week and a half ago, I got a message through Flickr mail from a man who works at New York Magazine, inquiring whether I would give them permission to use one of my photos for a piece they were preparing about Chinatown. I figured I really didn’t have anything to lose, [...]

nothing Recently, Daniel and I rented the movie “An Inconvenient Truth,” (the one by Al Gore that’s about global warming) and I have to say that I think everyone should see this movie. I do not understand why we make global warming as small an issue as it is. Because it is not a small [...]

nothing Check it out: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Squee! Thanks to Yajaira for the tip-off.

Storm – “Nagellstev” I want a Wii. I am only sort of ashamed to admit that pretty much 98% of why I want a Wii is because of the game Rayman’s Raving Rabbids. Please do me a huge favor and watch some of the videos about the game (with sound ON! Much funnier). I’d recommend [...]

nothing Just got back from watching “Little Miss Sunshine” in the theater, and I can’t recommend it enough. Steve Carell is the perfect blend of sarcastic and funny, the self-imposed mute brother is great, and the little girl Olive is so charming and awkward. There was a point where Daniel and I almost thought it [...]

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes – “Jolene” The show last night was a lot of fun. The venue was quite a bit smaller than I had expected, but it made it kind of cozy and not at all like crazy metal shows where people windmill around in a pit and punch everyone in the [...]

Katatonia – “Deliberation” I’m off to see Moonspell, Katatonia, and Daylight Dies. This is probably the first concert/show/whatever I’ve been to in a year… Well, maybe not a year, but a really, really long time at least. Definitely not since I’ve been 21. Daniel’s gone to a couple, but it’s been stuff I haven’t really [...]

Harry and the Potters – “Save Ginny Weasley” Okay, so I’m probably behind the times and you all know about these guys already, but I have just discovered the glory and wonder that is the band Harry and the Potters. All their songs deal with topics in the books and they are pure genius. My [...]

Rolling Stones – “Sympathy for the Devil” A few things of interest: I wrote a little page on Animal Crossing Tips if anyone is interested. Animal Crossing is my favorite game, so I put up a few tips for gameplay. It’s just for the Gamecube version, not AC: Wild World. The property management company for [...]

Nothingface – “Can’t Wait For Violence” I’m slowly but surely catching up on my homework. I’m still a bit behind, but I feel like I can get it done. I am SO GLAD I will have this Monday off so I can work on stuff. I’m currently trying to design my portfolio site. :o It’s… [...]

Daniel and Josh playing Guitar Hero Today after going bowling for Amanda’s birthday, Daniel, Josh and I walked home from the MAX station. We randomly saw a guy they used to work with named Craig, whom I’ve never met. I’ve just heard lots of things about him. We were introduced, and he said, “Oh, yeah! [...]

Nine Inch Nails – “The Perfect Drug (Meat Beat Manifesto)” IF A MOVIE WAS MADE OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? So, here’s how it works: Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc). Put it on shuffle. Press play. For every question type the song that’s playing. When you go to a [...]

nothing Tonight was movie night with Paul (Callie was out of town visiting her parents) and we watched the first Harry Potter movie. Except it wasn’t really the first HP movie – it was, but it had this running commentary over the video the entire way through, much like Mystery Science Theater 3000, but by [...]
