I discovered today that the work day really flies by when you have good music to listen to. The "rock" station in Baltimore fucking blows, nothing like how good it was in Boston; I mention songs I used to hear on the radio in Boston and Dominic starts throwing things at me, they're all songs they never play here (some of it is pretty basic rock music, like a lot of old Metallica). All we ever hear all day is god awful emo chick rock, the kind of worthless garbage I listen to metal stations to avoid. They play My Chemical Romance and fucking Chris Daughtry or however you spell it I don't care (and if I wanted to be subjected to American Idol rejects I'd watch the fucking show) at least once an hour, with the occasional good song thrown in (and usually never the best the band has to offer, they play Metallica's Ecstasy of Gold like it was the only song they ever made; I want to hear Master of Puppets, you stupid bastards). I don't know who they have running things here but they need to be fired. Or at least create another station for those of us who are not fourteen year old girls (or have the musical taste of one).
Today we walked in with some of my CD collection, and spent the day listening to good Metallica, Disturbed, In Flames, Cradle of Filth and Rammstein. The day just flew by. :-)
My weekend was fairly quiet, I hung out at JP's again, and spent the rest of my time watching Anime. Not something I ever got into, but Dominic seems determined to nerd me out and he got something he thought I would like. So I watched Hellsing. And I did like it, it was flashy and violent and they said fuck a lot. Alucard was entertaining as the sort of anti hero, and it offered some interesting villains. I could've done without the disgustingly innocent little pixie girl (who seemed to get more screen time than Alucard, how the fuck does that work?), but what are you going to do? I wish they had tried to wrap up the story a lot better than they did, but I enjoyed myself while it was on.
I did do my Kriophoria ritual. It was a very short holiday celebration, I got the sense that Hermes was not particularly happy with me right now, with how I've been neglecting him in favor of dwelling in stress and depression. My message seemed to be that I did just make vows to him and I have to learn to maintain them even through the worst life has to offer (especially for me, considering that I don't really have good times). So, trying to get back on the ball. I probably owe him something too, a little I'm sorry. Don't know what that will be yet, but I'll figure it out.
