So, I now have a job at the local vet clinic. Granted, it'll be a lot of poo-scooping and kennel help and answering phone calls at the front desk, but I'm totally down with that. I like science! I like animals! I like solving problems! This is all good. (And it's infinitely preferable to my former life of selling flat-screen TVs, which I really ( Read more... )

The Real Problem With Midichlorians

I really couldn't resist linking to this article -- combine LOST and Star Wars, and I'm sold.

And actually I completely agree with what this has to say. Don't let us down, Darlton.

...At first I thought it was just a general sense of contentment and goodwill-towards-all-mankind left over from the concert last weekend, but I've come to realize that in the past week, life has actually started to feel normal here. I never realized how important that could be.

Anyway, this weekend was pretty interesting. Took a college tour of ( Read more... )

Apparently my Web Design teacher, who's a basketball coach, father of three little boys and otherwise your standard-issue Manly Man (tm), has an irrational love for boy bands. He insists upon inflicting said love on the rest of us every Friday, so we usually all wind up sitting at our various computers and half-grudgingly, half-gleefully singing ( Read more... )

I like music. I like Benjamin Linus. It was kind of inevitable that I would attempt to combine the two somewhere down the line. Behold the fruits of my compulsively geeky labors -- a fanmix for one of the coolest characters to ever grace a TV screen.

Notes and such: Tracklist, lyric-snippets and download links under the cut. Contents include...well ( Read more... )

The above title is much better when sung to the tune of Camptown Races. Trufax.

Some things:

+ Star Wars peeps on my flist (especially you Dookugirls) -- if you haven't read albumsontheside's fantastic Four Things That Were Sadly Inevitable In Qui-Gon Jinn's Apprenticeship yet, do it now. It is the most hilarious, brilliant young!Qui&Dooku thing I've read in months ( Read more... )

So I'm working on, of all things, a couple of fanmixes, so you all will get to bask in some free!musical!funtiems in the near future, if you so choose. However, have a few random songs in the meantime, because I owe people things.

Magnificent (Dave Aude Club Edit) -- U2. The best seven minutes of remix you'll ever hear. (See, J, I promised I'd get ( Read more... )

AHAHAHA YOU GUYS, I JUST FOUND SOMETHING THAT WON THE INTERNET.

MY BELOVED STAR TREK FANS, YOU NEED TO BEHOLD THIS GLORIOUSNESS. I ASSUME YOU'VE HEARD OF THE HILARIOUSLY HORRIBLE SONG 'I'M ON A BOAT' BY THE LONELY ISLAND? ALLOW ME TO PRESENT THE MOTHER OF ALL PARODIES: I'M ON A SHIP.

IT WARRANTED SHARING, CAPSLOCK, AND MANY LULZ. GO FORTH AND BEHOLD ( Read more... )

Do not click on the link below if creepy insects freak you out. I'm just giving you fair warning.

It should be too cold for bugs now, damnit. But today I came home and found one of these on the floor near the piano and almost flipped out. It's a house centipede, a.k.a. a brown fuzzy, a.k.a. a creature from the bowels of hell itself. I loathe ( Read more... )

So, in spite of my better judgement, I decided to go ahead and do the 'put your iTunes on shuffle and write drabbles about the first ten songs you hear' meme. Granted, I cheated a ton -- I allowed myself at least three revolutions of each song to finish these, and a couple of songs were skipped because I've already written about them (U2, I'm ( Read more... )
