Also, something else.


Sixth Entry: Sixed Up (Sorta)

Man this was a lazy post.

Week Overview I and Careering

So, I have decided that every week, when I feel like it, I will do a "Week in Review" where I talk about my last week and review it. Ergo the name. This is the first one of these. Let's see how it goes.

SUMMATION OF WEEK'S KEY TERMS:

1. Lost: I watched the first season of this show a lot this week, making this the first time I've ever actually seen it. I've noticed that I'm really good at guessing what happens. This could have to do with the fact that I saw several episodes of Season Two and a few of Season Three. That sort of ruins some things, in a way. But I'm hanging in there.
2.Blectum from Blechdom: According to Last.fm I listened to them the most of any artist last week. I do not remember this. See below.
3. Inebriation: This was an important BUZZ word last week! HAHAHA!
4. The emptiness of existence: See above.
5. The emptiness of sexistence: Still not so sure about this one.
6. Snow: What can I say? It made me happy. I'm a pretty simple person.
7. Gowns Red State: God, this album sucked.
8. Kids in the Hall: Still, improbably, hilarious.
9. Rings Black Habit: I was surprised by how much I liked this album. This is especially true because when they were First Nation they were nauseatingly bad. Also, I think it's evident that First Nation was one of the shittiest band names ever by the fact that Rings actually seems decent in comparison. Somehow.
10. That guy who was completely bent over on Cameron Avenue with a book leaning on his upturned foot apparently reading said book while standing in the middle of the sidewalk: Still haven't figured this one out really. Did he really need to lean the book on his foot to read it? I mean, he looked pretty uncomfortable, with one foot all extended out in front of him, while he was almost completely doubled over. Honestly, at first I thought he might be sick, but then I saw that book resting there on his foot and his eyes steadfastly focused on it. Plus, what book is so great that he absolutely had to read it in the middle of the sidewalk? I can only guess that it was something by Anne McCaffrey. By far the most mysterious thing that I saw all last week. Maybe in the last few months.

TIDBITS: Did you know that tidbit used to be "titbit"? From now on, I'm only using titbit, even though it sounds painful/erotic.

Also, importantly, I've decided this week (i.e. today) that I am now a performance artist. Now I am waiting for a grant. Because that's how it works. I think. So, from now on, whenever anyone asks me what I do (which really doesn't happen that often) I can just say I'm a performance artist because, really, what are they going to do? Ask for my performance artist card? No. Besides, it's true.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTATION*:

"We are excited to announce that Blogger is now available in three more languages: Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian!"
-World peace rules permanently on Blogger now. I am inspired by this quotation.




Next time I'll probably not write about Black Dice. At this point, I'm just going to try and throw in casual references to them in every post or in every post that I remember to do this in. Why am I going to do this? You know why, so don't even bother pretending to ask me.


FIRST WEEK REVIEW: REVIEWED
FOURTH ENTRY: ENTERED

* Yes, I just used quotation instead of quote. No, I don't know if I can live with myself knowing that I have done this. Details upcoming.

Byzantines and Final Judgments

I would like to start this post off with a rumination on the Byzantines: !
Too bad I don't actually know Greek.
THE END.

In other news, I've decided, based on a four second clip of the beginning of one of their songs, that I hate this band Vampire Weekend*. First, I don't like their name. Second, I didn't like the drum beat in the intro that I heard. Third, people who go to Columbia should not be in bands! That is the domain of other schools! Call me Leagueist (as in, Ivy Leagueist, as in resentful of people who go to better schools than me, as in, etc.) but my (e)valuation still stands. Besides, I trust this judgment because I made it completely without recourse to logic or critical method, and really, that's the only way to make a decision that isn't just lying to yourself. I was going to draw up a list of other things that I hated on impulse but that didn't happen. Obvs.


Looking back over that, that was a little bitter. So, I will know ask that you think about kittens cuddling with otters in a playful environment. Now I feel better too.


That is the Final Judgment of Entry #4.
Also, sorry I didn't talk about Black Dice. That was a teaser.

Oh the Laughter of the Children!

I didn't make a post yesterday because of Schlitz. I shall not make such a mistake again. For there is much on my mind, that must be blogged! But, for now, I will discuss only one of these topics that torment my mind: life and death. It is always such a timely topic of conversation. I think it was Origen, the originator of modern Biblical hermeneutical techniques in the Alexandria of Late Antiquity and a very wise and sage man who first said: "Yes, I know I may be biased [...] but I think it [the question as to what happens when one of us dies] is great [in its profundity]. Now, I know nobody will ever read this comment I am making [for I live in a time of limited literacy], [...]! C'mon Jay[Reynolds, my good friend, who like me, Origen, will someday leave this moral coil], cough up the $35 and put your picture on this thing [so as to achieve some sort of immortality, even if it is only in a pictorial form]!!! Having a hit flick will get you a chick [and sexual intercourse keeps away the fear of death that haunts my life]! Seriously." Seriously.

Also, there is more stuff on my mind. Such as that Fall line that goes "I used to have this thing about Link Wray / I used to play him every Saturday*." Why is that on my mind? Because I was listening to it earlier. Why did I decide to write about it? To understand this, you'd need to read more Origen.

Tomorrow I'm going to write about Black Dice. Or maybe not. I HAVEN'T DECIDED YET.
