My right eye is swollen. I don't know why, or how. It was kind of tender yesterday, and when I woke up today, boom, swollen. It got sort of worse over the day, too. It's my lower eyelid mostly. My bottom eyelashes are sort of at a weird angle now, having been pushed downward by the swelling above and behind them. You never notice how often you ( Read more... )

I had made pretty much a resolution not spend as absolute little money as possible of what I earn so that I would have enough for university and the electric guitar. On the weekend I went on a famed Used CD Shopping Trip with my mom, and I couldn't resist picking up some stuff. I felt like sharing some lyrics that I liked/found meaningful or ( Read more... )

Well, here it comes, that annual tradition of ranking things from the past year. I present to you, after tons of head-scratching and coin-flipping (I mean, deliberation...), my top 15 metal CDs from 2005. I'd planned to make a top-10 list at first, but my intial "shortlist" was 18 CDs long, so I figured I might as well give the nod to 15 instead ( Read more... )

Today it struck me that I wanted some sort of facial piercing. For a while I've been admiring other people's, but today it just hit me that maybe I should consider it myself. To preface this: today I did something I told myself I wasn't going to do... spend more money on music, haha. Well, first was a new release today: Slipknot - 9.0: Live. I've ( Read more... )

... not the Back Yard.

*evil laugh* Although I am POSITIVE that NONE of the people who read this (all 3 of you) will get that reference off the bat, I'll quickly explain it. It's from the cover of a new album I bought today: Rumpelstiltskin Grinder - "Buried In The Front Yard...". The cover features that lovable goblin-thing of fairy tale land, ( Read more... )

It's that time again - more metal straight from the warped minds of me, myself and I (we've gotten over the bout of schizophrenia, we swear!).

Let's start with a look at a few pieces of news in the metal world. I have to start off with amazing news involving my absolute favourite technical death metallers, GORGUTS!. There are two sweet little ( Read more... )

It's time for some more metal musings! Gather round children.

For all your metal news needs, check out Blabbermouth. It's updated constantly with a steady flow of information, and I check it every time I get onto the computer. They often link when bands post up music or videos too, and I've picked up a few gems recently in this manner ( Read more... )

I feel like going through all my metal links right now, and I'm going to right down all the stuff that pops into my head as I do so. I may put this behind a cut, we'll see how long it gets, hahahah.
