I am unbelievably busy. I don’t think I’ve ever been this busy. I’m so busy, in fact, that I’m not even enjoying the fact that this is my last March madness end-of-the-year rush ever. It’s unreal — I’ve been perpetually stressed out for the past week. This weekend, I’m really hoping to finish off the big things (English essay and graphics assignment), and to that end, I’ve taken Saturday night off. One ancillary benefit to have Saturday night off is that I won’t be crazy tired on Sunday morning. Therefore, I’m going to the flea market.
Anyway, I’ve got a new favourite web comic, Minimum Security. Last week, they had a fantastic comic about Bill Napoli, the anti-abortion nutbag in the states. The writing is pretty witty and I really like the drawing style.
I’ve also got a new favourite song, “London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines” by Panic! at the Disco. It’s got some really wicked lines and a pretty good hook. I’ve actually become pretty fond of them, even though I dismissed them as sounding too much like Fallout Boy at first (the song I’d heard was “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage”, which definitely has a FOB vibe to it).
New question: what’s up with bands giving their songs really long names? Panic! at the Disco does it, My Chemical Romance does it, Artic Monkeys does it. It’s the new trendy thing, and I have no idea why. Suggestions?

I like song titles to have a bit of inuendo. Also I wrote down Artic Monkeys in my phone to look into the other day and wow thanks for the reminder.

And wow http://www.youtube.com/watc... This is great.

Arctic Monkeys are pretty decent. Also, checkout My Pillowfoot, which is a wacky Japanese rock band that’s pretty catchy. Their album cover has a dinosaur skeleton wearing sneakers, and it’s fantastic.

Someone was telling me that there was a picture/cartoon out last week with Bush, Harper and the Mexican president on top of a Mayan pyramid in Mexico. Apparently, Harper looks like a fisherman, and Bush and the Mexican President had comparably peculiar dress as well. I’d like to see the picture/cartoon, if anyone sees it.

Hrm, I didn’t know it was his birthday.
My computer frigged itself up today and stopped having any sort of connectivity (USB or wireless or wired networking). I ended up fixing it via my install of OSX86 — isn’t that ironic?
Why do my computers always mess up at the end of term?
Steve
Its like Jones uesd to say man computers know when you need them and wait for it to stop working.

Mark I introduced Janet to Panic! At the Disco and Im guessing she showed you didnt she?
Mark
Nope. They were on the "Promo Only Modern Rock - March 2006" album that I got about a month ago. (Promo Only is the best way to find new music).
(Oddly enough, though, three or four people all told me to check them out within a few days of each other. And I didn’t really pay all that much attention to them until that happened.)
