Update time!

3 weeks into the Spring Semester and for once I love my classes, but as per usual at LSU I have great professors. I'm slowly getting accustomed to the routine of waking up at 6 am three out of seven days of the week, and a 4 hour block of classes on MWF certainly keeps me out of the Union. Those sleep inducing comfy couches are much too inviting, and I am too weak .. I would succumb to the Sleep Daemons and miss every class for the rest of my life whilst spiraling into the mad void of narcosis comatopia.

So I just saw Lost in Translation with Ben and Erin. What can I say, I loved the movie. I can see WHY some people wouldn't like it, but I liked it. Now I just need to see Mystic River!

Here are some of my favorites quotes from an interview conducted by Kurt Loder with Maynard. Not sure when the actual interview took place though.

Maynard James Keenan Interview



Loder: The album title, Thirteenth Step, seems to be a reference to the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step rehab program.

Keenan: I don't think the album is specifically for people who are going through recovery, although that metaphor is absolutely present. Many of the songs are sung from the perspectives of recovery: from the perspective of a person who is in denial about a loved one, and from the drug perspective itself - the perspective of a person who is starting to realize that there is an issue, and of a person who is ready to deal with it.

This was a very difficult task for me, because I don't know what [drug addiction] is like. I drew on the experiences of friends who have gone through recovery, and friends who will never go through recovery. Layne Staley, for example, who was an old friend.

Loder: You're a writer - have you ever thought about writing a book?

Keenan: No, not really. I was going to write a book once, and I did that thing where you open up your Microsoft Word and ...

Loder: And you just sit there staring at a blank screen.

Keenan: Yeah, totally. So I started searching for Internet porn instead.

The word of the day is Tump

To overturn. Often used with over: You're about to tump that thing over.
