So, what's up? Not much here. My ipod is sitting on my lap and running through the shuffle, delivering constant music for my listening pleasure. Right now it's playing "Exit Does Not Exist" by Modest Mouse. It's a really good song about the stifling nature of travelling and just wanting to move. Distance. That's a constant theme in Mouse songs. Travelling. The album this song is on is called "This is a Long Drive For Someone With Nothing to Think About", if that gives you any indication. But my ipod won't be playing this song for very long. In fact it's almost over. My brother is watching the television over to my right. Cartoon Network. It's not a very good show, whatever it is. BoBoBo or something like that. It doesn't make any sense. Back when I was a kid cartoons actually meant something. Stuff like Batman the Animated Series and Animaniacs. It didn't talk down to kids, and even comedy like Animaniacs was actually funny, not just inane drivel. Now kids just want to be distracted with bright colors and flashing lights. Pssh. My brother though, he's very amusing. Right now he's filling one of our dog's chew toys with neosporin. I have no idea why, though. My dog is just lying on the floor watching him. I don't think she knows why either.
"Shut Me Up" - Mindless Self Indulgence
What? I told you it wouldn't be playing that song forever. I love me my synthesizers. I have a gallon-sized jug of grape juice to my left. I've been slowly drinking the entire thing over the course of the day, on account of my sickness and all. I absolutely love grape juice. Ever since I was a kid, whenever I was sick, my mommy would go to the store and buy me grape juice to drink, because it made me feel better. What? Got something wrong with me saying "mommy"? Hell, if your mother drove to the store to buy you grape juice whenever you were sick, you'd call her mommy too.
"Content was always my favorite color" - The Most Serene Republic
That song was really short. This Most Serene Republic band is kind of strange. But in a good way. I like strange music, anyway. I think I am drawn to strange things. I just don't like life to be boring, is all. It's very cold in my basement. I'm in my basement, by the way. My brother just ran upstairs all of a sudden. I bet my mommy called him or something. I wouldn't know. My music is on way to loud to hear anything. I'll probably be deaf by the time I'm thirty. I listen to music waaay to-HOLY SHIT MY BROTHER HAS A CINNAMON ROLL! I'll be right back, hold on. Okay, back. My mommy made cinnamon rolls! This is really really good, but I can't swallow it too well. Oh well, I'll live. I'll just wash it down with this gallon of grape juice. That my mommy bought me at the store. My computer just asked me if I'd like to stay online. Apparently I've been on for close to forever. My sister is probably trying to call, or something. She is in Detroit right now, working. She's a culinary student, and she got picked to work on some party thing going on in Detroit right now, or something. She'll be home soon, though. She won't be very happy if she was trying to call, but she's never really very happy, come to think of it.
"Space Travel is Boring" - Modest Mouse
Oh look, another Mouse song. Can't say it surprises me, though. I have a lot of Mouse on my ipod. But look, there's that theme again. Travelling, I mean. This song is really short, though. It's almost over, in fact. It ends with this weird spacey guitar riff-thing, that reminds me of this part in Final Fantasy VII. It's the part at Cosmo Canyon where Red XIII's grandfather is showing Cloud his giant telescope-thing, but instead of catching light from space it catches noise. The noises make this kind of song. I guess if you have never played the game, you wouldn't know what I'm talking about, though. Oh look, the song is already over.
"Idioteque" - Radiohead
This is some good music. It's all dance-beat techno-esque. Kid-A was like that though. It's a really strange album. But I'm drawn to strange things, so whatever. "Who's in the bunker? Women and children first in the bunker..." I love that. I wonder if it's still snowing outside. We were supposed to get 5-8 inches of snow, but it mostly just rained today. None of the snow stuck. That's fine by me, I don't much like the snow. Brian told me today that the rain told him it fell so it could be more "down to earth". That made me laugh. I think we're friends because we can be stupid around each other and find it funny. I haven't seen him in forever, though. Well, actually I think he came over to my house a couple weeks back to play some Smash. I'm not really sure. We're gonna do something this week, though. Maybe head over to the Deuce for some good times or something. I need to lend him my copy of Catcher in the Rye. That's my favorite book ever, actually. It more or less changed my life when I read it a couple months ago.
"Like Days" - theSTART
This is a good song. theSTART are like...godly, or something. Their singer is named Aimee Echo, and she makes me <3. Whatever that means. I'm almost out of grape juice. I would guess there's only about three or four chugs left. Well, two or three now. Actually, I'm pretty sure my initial estimate was way off and there's probably only two left. I'm not really thirsty anymore, though. I think I've drunk too much. Oh look, Nick Mitchell just signed on. I don't know why that caught my eye, but it did. I wonder if I should say something to Nick. I don't think I will. He probably thinks I'm weird or something. I have no idea where he got that idea, though.
"3" - Porcupine Tree
This band is kind of strange. I don't know what I think about them, but I know I like them. The problem is this album, In Absentia, is corrupt on my ipod. Apparently it didn't import right, or something. Dammit. I need to borrow it from Brian again so I can get it right this time. It's alright though, I don't think this song is too bad. What was I doing? Oh yeah, my mother made cinnamon rolls, but I only had one, and I finished it a long time ago. It was good, but now I'm kind of full. Oh, and it's very cold in my basement. My brother is still holding the chew toy that he filled with neosporin. It's a little plastic soccer ball. Ow. I just told him to throw it to me and he threw it at my head. Good thing it was just a chew toy and didn't really hurt, I guess. I can't really catch though, so it might have been my fault. It was full of neosporin though. Weird. My brother is strange. I'm going to check my email or something, I'll be right back. Well, that was a bust. I had no mail. Frown. If someone ever wants to email me, they could do so at TheKeldae@gmail.com. I don't know why you would want to, but it'd make me feel cool. Or something.
"Train" - Mission of Burma
Hey, I just noticed David is online. I'm going to ask him how I did on my brit lit test, since he graded mine while I was out sick yesterday. Be right back. Awesome. Apparently I did really well on the Beowulf test. I don't know why that makes me feel so good, but it does. I guess I just like doing well in school, after my long bout of senioritis last semester. Being apathetic was hard work.
"Ripcord" - Radiohead
So much for Mission of Burma, huh? I have so much Radiohead on this thing, it's not even funny. This is one of their really old songs, though. Back when they were still all three-guitar-attack and not we're-going-to-techno-the-fuck-out-of-your-brain. Oh well. I think my brother should be going to bed soon, but I don't really give a shit if he stays up. As long as my sister is gone we get to do whatever the hell we want. Sometimes I really wish my sister would just move out already. Oh shit, she's probably going to read that. Just kidding, Becky! Fuck. This grape juice is really starting to give me heartburn. I drank way too much of it. How can you not drink a gallon of grape juice, though? It's too tempting.
"Like Suicide" - Soundgarden
Is there any question Soundgarden kicked Nirvana's ass? Not by me. Holy shit, I almost forgot. The Boondocks is on, and I'm missing it. My brother left it on just before he ran upstairs, but I don't think I want to stop listening to music just yet. Maybe later. I really wasn't kidding about that grape juice though, it's really starting to get painful. You know, last night I was watching North By Northwest on PBS at like...one AM. I don't know too many people who will watch an old Hitchcock film on public television after midnight, but trust me, don't knock it till you've tried it. That movie was about as good as I thought it was going to be. It was full of classic suspense and intrigue, and Cary Grant is a pretty damn good actor (er...was), even though it definitely wasn't his best. I don't know. I'm a sucker for classics. Hold on, the kid in the Boondocks is holding a gun, I gotta see what's up. Be right back. Haha. He was attempting to shoot the landlord with a dart gun. I really love this show. The episode they had on MLK day where it pretends Martin Luther King had never died was a classic, seriously. When King was like "Oh fuck it, I'm moving to Canada" I nearly died laughing.
"Pacific Theme" - Broken Social Scene
I think BSS is in my top three favorite bands at the moment, though I have no idea how long they're going to hold that distinction. I fell in love with You Forgot it in People the moment I first heard it on Brian's ipod. It's just a blistering array of talent. It's eclectic. Perfect for my tastes. Oh shit. I was just like...comatose for a while. Seriously. I just stared at the screen while the music played. Haha, I almost said "stared at the scream" isn't that hilarious?
"Rent" - Rent
Yes, I have the entire Rent soundtrack on my ipod. Want to fight about it? Just kidding. I'm a pacifist. Not really, but that's a stupid thing to fight about. I'm going to go and see if it's still raining or snowing or whatever, be right back. Hey, it's actually snowing! That's amazing. No, it's not. Shut up already. My brother left a long long time ago to go to bed, but I'm not really tired. I'm actually just waiting for the day to end, ya know? It was a really weird day. Good, but weird. Weird like a half-empty bottle of baby oil. I think this week is going to be even more weird. I just got that feeling.
"All These Things That I've Done" - The Killers
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I like this song and I don't care who knows it! I like singing to it. Good thing you're spared from that. What you're not spared from, however, is my stream-of-conciousness ramblings. You'll live, though. Trust me. "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" Come on. Tell me you can't hear that and not go "cool". I know I do. And I don't care who knows it. But you already know that. I can't wait till I get a guitar. I mean...I know I'll suck, but I'd like the chance to get better. And besides. Chicks love guys with guitars, right? Of course they do. I mean, after that I'll just need a car and an actual paying job and I'm set. I wonder where my dog is. I haven't seen her since my brother filled her chew toy with neosporin. Uh-oh...
"Wandering Star" - Portishead
Eww, gross. I don't know where my dog is, but my brother is running around in his boxers. Yeah, ick. My sister's home, now. She's yelling at me to get out of her basement. That's it, I think I'm gonna watch Samurai Champloo or play Starcraft or something equally unproductive. Pace out, yo.
Happy February 4th.
