Remember Inside Each And Every One Of Us Is A Skeleton Fighting To Get Out

My friend jim draws cartoons for the student newspaper, the Daily Northwestern.
Needless to say they are the best part of the Daily Northwestern.

Aw Fuck Yeah

So yeah, I just plowed through three straight weeks of hell on earth as far as classes go with a schedule of tests that never really let up and now I'm back from my mid-semester break.

I feel rested for the first time in a long while and I feel pretty solid about this next term and I'll see how it goes. That said, I'm already looking forward to Christmas break and Call of duty Modern Warfare 2. I don't plan on skipping class for that game, but we'll see what happens.

Evil

Apparently this video has been floating around the internet for a couple of years, but I just saw it for the first time today. Enjoy

We'll Go To The Loonie Bin Together.

The Flaming Lips are going to release a cover album of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon in it's entirety.

Holy Shit.

I have a question for anybody who reads this blog

Does anybody know of any programs that allow one to take a large audio file and chop it up into separate tracks? I just got a couple of concerts and I would like to break them up into songs.

By the way, I own a pc.

Modern Times

My old rule of thumb for studying on Sundays was to bring my iPod when it was fully charged and whenever it would go dead, that's when I would go home. Through the combination of my battery not being a champ like it used to be and an increased workload, I can't rely on that anymore. Now I just bring my computer to the library and hook that bad boy up to the wall and study until I can't see straight.


I figgin' hope my grades go up with this method.

Too Soon

Today in the Fargo-Moorhead area, we had our first winter weather advisory of the season and that means only one thing. Time for some Bon Iver.

Goddamnit

I just noticed that my hair has a slight pink tinge today because the blood from the concert didn't wash out as well as I had thought it had. This could be bad, because I've got a clinical all day tomorrow in a hospital.

Fancy Sauce

Right now I'm cramming for a test that I've got in my Health Assessment class in about half an hour and I just got back from a trip to the water fountain. As I was walking past one of the librarians, I took a quick glance to what she had up on her browser and had a chuckle.

In one window she had catchannel.com opened which upon further review is dedicated to all things cat and kitten as long as it's cute. In her other window, she was looking at her facebook profile (at least I think it was her profile because she was editing something) and her profile picture was of a cat.

I love it when this kind of stereotype ends up being true.

Proof That I Went To Lamb of God and Gwar Last Night

- My hands, arms, and hair are all stained red from all the fake blood sprayed into the crowd by Gwar.
- When I removed my contact lenses last night, they too were stained red although they looked more pink than red once I got them out
- My ribs are bruised from being so close to the front of the crowd and being slammed by complete strangers from every direction
- My ears have been ringing for the past 22 hours (it's starting to ease up a little bit)
- My neck is sore as hell from headbanging


what a night.

This Can't End Well...

First things first-- this week was hard as hell. I busted a major amount of ass, and as a result, I'm tired as hell.

Second... I looked out my window this evening and it was snowing. Nothing major, but there was still snow. So, this might end up being a year where we skip fall altogether and get right into snow. Awesome.

Third... I'm going to a Lamb of God and Gwar concert tomorrow. Lamb of God have been a favorite of mine for a few years now even though it's difficult to explain why. The true draw is Gwar. In case you've never heard of Gwar just imagine Kiss, but way more awesome and a whole lot less lame. Sure, their music sucks, but what they lack in playing skills, original music, or any other attribute a mediocre band has, they make up for in theatrics and good old fashioned moxie.



but once that's done, I've still got 3 tests to study for next week. damn

First day

Trust me and just stick with it because the first few minutes are a bit slow unless you want to catch up on your German.
