Be that as it may, seeing as I don’t think I’ll fail any of my exams, I decided to take a quick trip downtown, to visit my favourite purveyors of fine leisure activities.
The first of these was Avalon, also known as Gotham. I was primarily looking for John Scalzi’s Ghost Brigades, but it as turned [...]
Posts filed in Radiohead
My favourite band of all times. Thom Yorke, Johnny Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, Colin Greenwood and Phil Selway have created an unique musical expression, while at the same time evolving as musicians, shifting from guitar rock to electronica from album to album. Awesome.
Wastin’ money
Done the Impossible
Stumbled across this on Vuze the other day, and thought I’d better take a look at it, seeing as I reckon myself to be a Joss Whedon fan of sorts.
And it was good. Sure, if you don’t fancy watching geeks rant on about some stupid TV show for one and an half hour, you probably [...]

I’m not afraid of computers taking over the world. They’re just sitting there. I can hit them with a two by four.

Love In Rainbows
It’s been over four years. There have been times when I’ve almost given up hope. But on Monday, all my prayers (well, at least some of them) were answered.
Too bad I won’t get my hands on the physical record before some time late in December, but at least the digital version’ll be avaliable in five [...]
Romeo + Juliet
For long periods of my life, I’ve nurtured a completely irrational dislike for the actor Leonardo di Caprio, a dislike probably rooted in my background as a male kid in the late 90s, when “Leo” was the dream boy of every girl, and the envy of every boy. And, as is so very often the [...]
2007-07-26 — Quote of the Day
“The sad thing is, if an issue is laughed at and patronised by mainstream media, then it’s up against it big-time. I read some journalist recently lecturing the anti-globalisation lobby, saying, ‘This is the way capitalism works, all capitalism is exploitation and to make it try and do something else, it’s never gonna happen.’ And [...]
Awesome music videos
Radiohead - Paranoid Android — I don’t love the video as much as I used to, but man, this is still a fucking mind-blowing song. Undeniably my favourite of all time.
Queen - I’m Going Slightly Mad — not only is the song weird in a good way, but the video is, in addtion to being [...]
The Sounds of February — An Attempted Subjective Buffy Theme
Okay, as the theme for this month’s CD, I’ve chosen “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. I wll, in other words, try to make a CD on which all of the songs remind me of this awesomest of all awesome shows. Be it that they remind me of the show in general, a specific episode or scene [...]
Karaoke at the Caritas…
Last Thursday, my sister and I watched one of the first Angel season 2 episodes where Lorne* and his abilities are used. And my sister asks me a question, which I’m frankly disappointed in myself for not having asked myself before: “If you were to sing for Lorne,” she asks, “what would you sing? Give [...]
Couple o’ updates more
1. I just wrote a new page, entitled “Buffysodes”, on which I’ve put links to all my quasi reviews of Buffysodes. In time, it might be renamed to just “’sodes” or something, and have links to more reviews, but for now this is all there is. It’s primarily written as a service to my sister, [...]
This is what I call Science Fiction!
Just came back from watching “Children of Men” in the movies, and it was bloody awesome.
The filmatographic elements were all perfect. The camerawork, done with an unsteady handheld, gave the film a more realistic atmosphere (during one scene, “blood” sprays across the lense, kinda like in “Saving Private Ryan”, except that I don’t think it [...]
The sounds of December
Here’s the content of the “homemade” CD I’m listening to in December:
1. The Doors - The Soft Parade
If I’m ever gonna try any drugs, this is the song I’ll be listening to while high. It’s surreal, and it’s great.
2. Bob Dylan - All Along The Watchtower
My personal Dylan favourite. Ambigious lyrics, wistful atmosphere.
3. The Buzzcocks [...]
I have to learn to read paper assignments more closely…
I am annoyed with myself. Today, after procrastinating for a few hours, getting various menial work out of the way before staring on my history paper, I thought I’d check what, exactly, I’m supposed to write about, and write this down on a piece of paper to have in front of me while reading. To [...]
