Internet ads that use sound should be considered spam and blocked. Even the ones with a mute option start off with sound on, and if you've got multiple tabs open you have to sort through them all to figure out which one has the obnoxious ad... And more and more I'm seeing ads with no mute button, no volume control, and the sound turned up WAY TOO LOUD. Hello, I am constantly listening to music while on the Net - if my own music isn't too loud for me (and I'm not a head-banger type), YOURS totally shouldn't be either.
Also: Music ads on Youtube with obnoxiously loud sound/no mute option, I will not buy your music. I don't care if it's freaking Avril Lavigne. Won't buy it. Srsly, screaming in my ear doesn't give me a great idea of how awrsum your music is anyway.
I don't buy any products that are associated with Internet ads with sound either. BOYCOTT FTW.
In other news, I think I might really like Radiohead >3 And I refound The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony," which I adore. And I bought Nightwish's "Sleeping Sun" (Oceanborn version) on iTunes with a gift card. I have "Sleeping Sun" on a Best Of album, but it's a more mellow version that I don't like as much.
NEway reason I gave Radiohead a listen: I noticed a while back that the bonus track on Mika's "Life in Cartoon Motion" album (midway through "Happy Ending") has some lyrics that closely resemble a certain song from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The song is "Close Every Door." Today I finally Googled it to see if that was intentional (well, of course it was) and why he did it. Some guy described his singing style in that bit as "deconstructed Radiohead"... so to Youtube I went.
Also I want more Vienna Teng and Katie Melua pleaseandthankyou.
Shockingly, I have no homework tonight, due to tomorrow's Poetry class being canceled. I get to sleep till 10:30!!! omg. Unbelievable. Really need it though. I didn't sleep between 11 am Saturday and 12 am Monday, except for a two-hour nap in late afternoon Saturday when I didn't actually manage to sleep. I was traveling back to campus. And I'm a notoriously poor sleeper. TロT Then there was lots of homework and crap so. Need to catch up on sleep.
Buuuut I also want to write and draw and read and watch House and Firefly and finish Mack's b-day card................ dagnabbit.
Today I totally BSed a thesis in Japanese Diet. I worked right up to the wire finishing the draft and then was like, This totally has no excuse for existing, and panicked a little. But when I explained my "thesis," there was silence afterward. As in, no comments like "Well, wtf did you just say?" or "Maybe you should think about something else." So, either my thesis was actually okay somehow... or more likely, no one had a clue what I said and all just decided it was safest to smile and nod...
I'm scared of this paper/presentation. D: So, the conference my whole class was going to go to... well, way back I thought to myself, "I bet we won't all go - at least all the dancers will end up backing out, since it's the weekend of the performance." So, today, everyone except myself and Dina backed out, even a couple non-dancers -.-" I'm cool with that, because BOOYAH! WHO CALLED IT? OH! OH! IIIIIII DID!
but. So now it's just me and Dina. Eeeeeeeee nerve-wracking. Lol and my paper is on 食育 as a community-centered program (LAWLZ at IME for having no clue what 食育 is) and currently my resources suck.
Applied for summer things. Hope to hear back soon.
Wanna watch the Sherlock Holmes movie again so bad... one more week to go... I should really preorder it already. できればいいよね。
