foxtrot, tango, whisky, etc.

Nov 27, 2008 19:23

I pulled a tragic, toe-scufflingly remorseful resignation at work this week. NAMELY BECAUSE I'M LEAVING IN 15 DAYS, 11 HOURS, YESSSSSSSSSSS. But on one level, I guess I could say it's kind of sad: I'm kind of getting used to spending 15 hours/week scanning archival documents from Halifax's House of Assembly in the 1810s, and listening to much of ( Read more... )

Ahaha, I would add you on lastfm, but I am HORRIBLY EMBARRASSED by the music I have scrobbed there. I am officially unhip. But in my defense, my scrobs mainly come from my ipod which I use to get my ass moving as I work out, which requires hideous up-beat 90s pop. OH YEAH. I CAN FEEL YOU JUDGING ME, PAIGE. I SHOULD BE JUDGED.

SIGH.

I AM VERY GOOD AT JUDGING PEOPLE. I require 80% CanCon, at least 30% bands I've never heard of, mandatory Final Fantasy inclusion and you're disqualified if you have an overabundance of male singer-songwriters, like, over a 3:1 ratio, because I hatessss them that much, with a few notable exceptions like Chad VanGaalen and dudes with names one-word monikers like Caribou, Destroyer or I guess Hayden. Hayden gets a free pass, but he better watch it.

I CAN MAKE THIS INTO AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET IF YOU LIKE.

What I'm trying to say here is: add me anyway, h0r! Don't make me stalk you down!

I will give you plenty of amunition, let me tell you. The extent of my canadian music leanings is Theory of a Deadman (and more hideously NICKELBACK. Their new album is great for listening in the car when I'm driving in Toronto because the lyrics ENRAGE MY SOUL and I feel better about GUNNING my engine to beat little old lady drivers that cruise at top speed of 75km/h on the 401. Seriously, I feel like Nickelback is Canada's version of Rap singers in the US: misogynistic spew that makes your vagina pitch a OUT OF BUSINESS sign up ( ... )

I LOVE THAT YOU USE THE NICKELBACK HATE TO FURTHER YOUR RAGE. BUT IT'S DELIBERATE. YOU'RE DELIBERATELY ENRAGING YOURSELF WITH CHAD'S JESUS HAIR. WHAT THE EFFFFFFFF.

Also, I'm totes saddened that Celine is not still up there. D:

And to be fair: you and your Clint Mansell? I just re-ripped that to my laptop this summer! Low compatibility no more!

Hey, this is a thing I can comment on! burnthemap November 28 2008, 01:10:16 UTC

Oh, do I ever have podcast recs. I have spent the last three summers listening to hundreds and hundreds of hours of podcasts while raw-handedly scrubbing bones & pop bottles clean with a toothbrush. Mostly just talk-y podcasts, and you've already discovered Ira Glass, my secret boyfriend, so:

The Sound of Young America - really great interviews with really interesting people.

Never Not Funny - my favourite podcast, but you have to pay for it (there's a free 20-minute version, though -- also, I usually just delete them after I've listened, but I have three that are as-yet undeleted, and I can send them to you if you'd like!).

Stop Podcasting Yourself - out of Vancouver! And really good!

Jordan, Jesse, Go! - Two guys in California talk about stuff & are generally fun to listen to.

Battleship Pretension - two guys talk about movies, and stuff, and it's alright.

So basically I am subscribing to all of these, thank you! My one fear is that after these two weeks are done, I'm going to be back to not knowing how/when to listen to podcasts. It's hard to figure out what the perfect level of multitasking is: my job is extremely monotonous, so it works. But what else do I willingly do that would lend itself to radio? Commuting, I guess. If I ever get a job.

Thanks so much, dude. I will let you know how awesome they are as soon as you let me know when the eff you're getting to the AB!

Re: Hey, this is a thing I can comment on! burnthemap November 28 2008, 22:28:39 UTC

Eugh, email is in drafts and being sent, STAT. But it's the 21st to the 2nd. I will have more details for you shortly!

I know, though -- I have a billion podcasts built up now because I don't have enough time to listen to them. Between the hour of walking-commute, plus gym time, I'm catching up, though!

Do you mean the sga/eureka stories by rageprufrock? I am scrolling through a lot of Torchwood here, my friend. And I barely know what appeals to me anymore... I'm kind of frighteningly uninterested in the SPN story I'm listening to right now. Just. Wincest, whatever. Yeahalright.

I'm so sorry you didn't get my card beforehand! Shit, man. I'm glad you enjoy my decrepit unicorn. I want to suggest that we get high and watch The Last Unicorn, but I would probably piss myself when the red bull showed up. That shit is scary, yo. But you should see my varying levels of octopi. From the same class, of course ( ... )

you can't make angel jokes to me. it's like making napalm jokes to a 'nam vet. subterrain December 1 2008, 21:39:45 UTC

Basically: fuck SPN S4. I saw seasons 1-3 for sale super cheap at the massive video place yesterday and SCOFFED. I SCOFFED, BROOKE. Although I just bookmarked a finishing fic workshop over at spnroundtable. Especially the part that says how to finish fic where you now loathe the fandom. :/

Is it living above our means to get the fancy camping spot? What if Shia's set up next door? Would we just wave cheerily every morning and offer them some coffee, or try to hone in on his alone time with Zach? Is "premiere" just code for "groupies and parents"? IT'S SO HARD TO TELL. But I would like cleaner bathrooms, fucking princess that I am.
