I just watched Arctic Blast, which is a movie about a sudden ice age sort of scenario which hits parts of the world. A cold front with -90F (-68C) temperatures hit parts of Australia killing a lot of people. Understandable. After a couple of hours the temperatures were a bit better: only -50F (-45C), but the people were still acting like it was too ( Read more... )

Uni started once more. I somehow managed to stay awake through my first lectures, after which I went home because I wasn't feeling so well. I've had a small fewer since Monday, but it's getting better. For some reason lately when I've had a flu my body temperature doesn't go up, but down. On Monday it was 35,1C. It's weird. It can't really be ( Read more... )

Wow, Sturm und Drang has grown up, and nicely at that. They were such a cute teenage band. Now they're all grown up and have a new sound. I didn't recognice them when I heard this song on the radio. But I liked the song so I looked it up online. Too bad that they've lost their personality with the new sound. Now they sound just like some generic ( Read more... )

CKY is one of those mystery bands who does music that I either love or hate. Some of their songs are awful, really awful, while others have been among my most looped songs over the years. I'm going to spare you the bad apples and just list some of my fave CKY songs. Wikipedia claims that CKY is "alternative metal", whatever that means ( Read more... )

Last night I sang when I was by myself in the sauna. I've picked the habit of singing in the sauna from our choir camps where we do that. All though, come to think of it we used to sing quite a lot in the sauna at the cottage when we were kids, but I fell out of the habit after I grew up. I like the acoustics of the sauna better than the shower ( Read more... )

This song, or more precicely five seconds of this song, looped in my head all day at work today. >< subi played Exile's album to me when I was at her place on Saturday.

Loving the current music. It's inspiring me to write but I don't know about what. Facebook is a poor substitute for reading my flist on LJ like it was in the good old days. FB is too superficial for me. I always go there full of hope and it's always the same old one sentence updates about people's lives, that tell you nothing at all, at least ( Read more... )

Good music is inspiring me to write even when I have no idea what to write about. So I'll just talk about this awesome band that I found yesterday: Ministry of Magic. I mentioned it already in yesterday's entry. It's a Harry Potter inspired electronic rockband. Awesome music in and on itself, the fact that the lyrics are about Harry Potter is just ( Read more... )

I watched We are wizards, a documentray mostly about the musical fandom that has arisen from Harry Potter, today. I was reading a HP fanfic of the next generation and there was a reference to Wizard rock song. I couldn't find the song itself, but I found this blog post about Harry Potter references in Nerdcore hip hop songs. Nerdcore being a ( Read more... )

I'm going parse with one aspect of Windows: copy-paste'ing text. I keep doing what I always do in Linux, that is to hightlight the text, which puts it to... well lets say that it's then copied to an invisible clipboard, and then I just click on the middle button of the mouse to paste the text where I want it. So if you're following me, that's two ( Read more... )
