One good thing about falling asleep while watching television: I actually managed to get the most sleep I've had in a long time. 7 hours certainly beats my usual 3 to 4 ( Read more... )

i actually haven't even listened to "Shankill Butchers" yet. i'm too scurred D: but knowing what that ones about, it makes me wonder what "O Valencia!" is about. it reminds me of something my sister told me about that happened in Ireland in the 70s or 80s. a girl was shot in the head and killed by her brother after she came home from a date with a guy who was either Catholic or Potestant, depending on what her family was.

and Arrested Development is pretty much the best thing ever. i started watching it last year in the summer and alksjdf. it's amazing. i'm so sad it was cancelled.

"Shankill Butchers" is a song with a perfectly creepy 'Halloween'ish atmosphere. Unfortunately, I'd momentarily forgotten the meaning behind the song, and yeah, it's a little too gruesome/controversial/real for me. I really hope that's not the case for "O Valencia!", though. I just thought it might be fun to dress up as a love interest who meets a tragic demise. D: But anyway, that's why there are multiple options.

I'm going to be devastated when I finish the final season. :( The best shows are always cancelled too soon.

i think "O Valencia!" would be a cool costume. sad, but interesting. i still want to have a Decemerbists themed costume party. i forget what i wanted to be, though. i wish i had written all the ideas down.

i actually didn't watch the final season all the way through when it was on tv. i just saw one at the beginning and the last night it was on. it was too sad :(

My cousin suggested dressing up as the tree on the cover of Picaresque, which would be interesting, but not very portable. I wouldn't fit on the bus. :\ Still, it would certainly be appropriate for a costume party.

a;lfd';jkg I haven't finished the first season yet, and I'm already sad. :(

OMG. Gob is possibly my favourite non-House TV character.

What is up with things being released differently in Canada? It's so unfair.

OMG Doctor Who starts on Sci-Fi here on Friday!

Gob is brilliant in every possible way. Now I desperately want a segway because lol.

I know, ugh. There's probably some logical marketing reason for the separate release dates, but that won't stop me from sulking about it.

And okay lksfj'g what. :( The CBC got the Nine series before you guys, plus "The Christmas Invasion" right after Christmas. Nothing makes any sense anymore.

The only marketing reason I can think of is, "How can we make sure that our albums are illegally downloaded? I know! Let's release them late!"

Yeah, it's ridiculous. What they're doing is, they're showing TCI and New Earth back-to-back all night. It's really quite stupid.

That's pretty much what seems to be happening. :( However, I will be buying the album when it's released here, mostly because it comes with a DVD.

Ugh. Some people at the BBC/Sci-Fi/CBC need to have their heads examined, obviously.

I know, omg. I kept hoping that I'd walk into a store and there would be a giant version of this picture hanging up in the shop window. My fantasies should be reality. :'(

GOB IS MADE OF EXCELLENCE. I'm nearly finished with season one, which makes me feel both sad and happy at the same time.

The whole world should love Weird Al. ;_;

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEASON TWO. Aaand I think the last episode I saw was "Justice Is Blind" or the one after that. I can't quite remember.

Yeah, Jesus guys are just everywhere here for some reason. I feel sorry for the burnt out hippie guys they inevitably tackle and keep stuck in a corner for at least half an hour while they explain the "good news."

People who are Very Serious about religion always worry me a little bit. I mean, I think I have some religious beliefs, but there's no need for me to attack random people on the street with psalms and prayers. Still, I'm sure he meant well.

Told you it's not out till next week, that's why you should have uploaded it at the link I gave you

spaced_oddity September 27 2006, 22:58:57 UTC
Oh, I downloaded the album from the link! I just have this weird urge to wait until I get the actual CD before I listen to it, but I'll probably go ahead and listen to it anyway. I'm not very good at waiting. XD

Oh. Next time please comment at the post that you took it. Thanks!
