Ha! Last night the Bacon Brothers (yes, one of the brothers is the Kevin Bacon) finished with "Footloose." Nice.
Tonight: Planet Smashers (Phil was a punkster and loves them), Hole (I listen to "Pretty on the Inside" and "Live Through This" regularity. Sadly, when they were touring for those albums I was a *little* too young to go to a Hole concert) and Louis C.K (YES!).
I miss playing TF2. I was reading about the engineer update and it looks hella fun (thanks again to Tim who keeps me in the loop). Why don't I just play it? Too much to do.
What annoys me about some writers (i.e. People who self-identify as a writer)? Noticing that they are using the same word over and over and over and over again for almost a year. If I actually can remember your use of an uncommon word (not a complicated word...just one that isn't used often) you need to switch it up. My writing has a shit ton wrong with it* and maybe I am not to talk but I feel it is like drawing the same thing over and over and over again...it doesn't make you a good artist. It makes you good at drawing that one thing in that specific style.
Also - to those of you who make strings of beautiful words: Keep it up! You guys make me smile! :D
*I make a lot of punctuation mistakes (I have to re-read "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" again. /grabs it off her bookshelf/), I make grammar mistakes and I reuse the same sentence structure. Don't even get me started on spelling. When I test in the 15th percentile for spelling but I am in the 99.98th percentile in math, ya know it is a lost cause. Then again, I write things like this, this or this. Pretty dry stuff. It doesn't help that I am an overly critical person of everyone, including myself. I am very good at picking on myself so don't you worry, I "take it" too. :P
