| Since the newsposts are as detailed a journal as anyone in their right mind would care to read, I'm definitely not going to do anymore journal entries. I've made a few since I last posted one in like September but I'm not going to put the new ones up. I knew I'd get home, be bored as fuck and get cracking on what we call "content." I didn't think I'd do it so swiftly though. I also wasn't expecting Fellowship of the Rings to be just that kickass, but it's just another surprise I suppose. I've made a few little changes in the basic mechanics of the site but you don't care. Updates: Editorials - Who're You Fooling? and Patriotism & Fitch Vivid - The Mangina Music - The Toadies - 9.29.01 More to come. The one about Patriotism is rather lengthy, and if you don't finish it, I understand. I know if I don't hit the concert things soon they'll be too far out of mind to ever fully recall. On another note, I have no internet as I'm writing this. I don't wanna go off on a rant but our goddamn fucking cocksucking goddamn phone company is so shitty that we haven't had the use of either of our phonelines since Wednesday!! I can't even put my head around how awful it is for a company to let the phones go out for 5 days straight right before Christmas. How can they possibly stay in business?? Grrr... While I'm pissed I might as well mention this. Jeff's been planning the UPP2k1 for many moons and Jon's been planning a LAN at the gym by the tech center for as long, and somehow I'm considered a vital component of each event. Of course this would be the weekend my parents decide we're going to fucking Beaumont. Why?? Why was I programmed to feel pain?? Hopefully some shifty manipulations will either change the dates of the parties or allow me to go to Boremont later than originally planned. I'm trying not to dwell on it cos I get really mad. Sarah's back! When you haven't seen a really tight friend in months you forget what you've been missing until you see them again. We talked til late and now she's all cultured both high and low. High meaning she's more edumacated and studied art in Europe and low meaning she's not naive when it comes to substance abuse. Plus she knows more about music now. It's crazy that somebody could become that much more well-rounded in only a semester. Silly Scotland. "I don't think it's for usin', I think it's just for lookin' through." I digressed earlier but holy SHIT go see Fellowship of the Rings. And take me I wanna see it again. I wish I was a badass like those guys, especially the archer with the daggers. Maybe I'll join the SEALs or something. You can't get much more badass than that. In any case, I'll be reading the Lord of the Rings series as soon as I finish the last Dune book. I highly recommend the Dune series, even though they get pretty fucking weird in the later books. Frank Herbert was a bloody genius. All the books are brilliant as far as unpredictable plots and the philosophy and dialogue in which they're delivered. Hit it. I might not bother reviewing the Travis show, considering it was sort of lackluster, we were way way too high, and we left early. Not exactly a memory I want to immortalize forever in the annals of the internet. For that matter I might not review Government Mule either. What's there really to say about a jam band? Fabulous musicians, but the songs aren't terribly original or creative whether melodically or lyrically. That's my review. Although it is worth mentioning that we got in for half price cos KC knows the chick that works the booth at Stubb's so she gave him a free ticket. My scanner's broken but my dad is going to lend me his. Expect to see some concert pictures from U2 and Ultimate pics and other such shite. Speaking of Ultimate, pwoooo. I dunno if I'll review albums because I don't know if anyone cares to read those either. Tell me otherwise if you care to. I might review some obscure bands just to get you into them. Yes, you. I bought Mezzanine by Massive Attack finally, and all I can say is go buy this fucking CD. It hasn't left my cd player since I bought it last week. Every song is brilliant. Goddamnit I always write too much. Get both the I Might Be Wrong and Amnesiac versions of Like Spinning Plates (if you don't know the band, go skewer yourself on a broomstick). In the meantime, call me. I'm motherfucking bored. |
| Finals Can Lick My Sack Tuesday 12.18.01 4:05AM by Aaron |
| I just finished up a scheissisch game of Starcraft. First time was too easy and our foes were no match for my crack Dragoons and Reavers, but the second time we got raped without lubrication by 5 computers. Ouch, my browneye is sore. Anyway, what with most of the exams being over people sure are in good spirits, at least the ones who think they passed. I think I passed so I'm in a great mood. We planned on going partying to celebrate the end of finals but were too lazy/high so we just played xbox and ate katz's. And God bless Xbox. In other news, we finally got a goddamn house without somebody stealing it out from under us. They tried, but good prevails in the end... usually. Jared & Jordan were signing their deposit checks when the guys currently in OUR house called to say they wanted it for another year but they'd already been given a deadline so we got the house. It's pretty fly though, if not as fly as the first 2 or 3 we lost. Three floors, deck & balcony, backyard. Next August it'll be time to fire up the grill and have some bloody sweet BBQ's. Just watched half-baked and what a bloody good time that was. We've been inherently goofing off since finishing with tests and a testament to that is the fact that the first part of this news post was started yesterday but I completely forgot about it. We were gonna go see a movie, but you know the rest. I sat reading lowbrow for like two hours (not unthinkable by any means) and played Counter-Strike while Jared & Peter played chess of all things. Wolfenstein and Driver right at their fingertips and they play chess. Plucker's was good. It'll be nice once I'm of the age at which 6th st becomes a great hub of amusement for a person. As it is, I don't like clubbing and can't get into bars. I might have been their twice - once for a small concert and another time I can't remember why. Who wants clubs when you could go to a concert?? Damn this bong is filthy. The quotes section was in dire need of an upgrade so proceed to the clicking area below. Update: Quotes - Lots I'm considering breaking my updates into chunks that go in each section so that it isn't just slopped into the main news part and sucking the remaining sections dry. I haven't done an album review in over a millenia. Gotta shred some shit and praise some other shit. If everyone were required to listen to the Pixes daily they would be much more easy going. Everyone'd be meandering about whilst humming "I was swimmin in the Caribbean.." "Gigantic.. gigantic..." The stupid fucking economy would be back up to par and terrorists would lose their motivation to harm people and Hilary Clinton would kill herself cos I imagine she's a Barbra Streisand fan. If you haven't yet peeped dis you must do it now to relieve your karma coma. Inebriation comes highly recommended. Oh, and watch that part on Willow where the two-headed motherfucker falls on that soldier then there's a fwoosh noise and the guy runs out screaming "OW OW OW!!" and engulfed in flames. Never did notice that before and I laughed my balls off it when it happened. I was sooo looking forward to Medal of Honor but it's pretty fucking disappointing so far. It's horrribly rendered by comparison to RTCW. It looks worse than Urban Terror methinks. Maybe it's just my shitty video card... No offense to you people in hachie but I'm not much looking forward to coming home. Ya I wanna see you peeps and partaaay but shit, you should all just come to Austin and we can do that when not in that fucking turddisposal. Pardon my English. Lowbrow is down =(. Aaron lost in a gray and meaningless void.... cept not. Exaggeration is my art. I have my guitar so all is well. If you also play then try out Optimistic by Radiohead... That F type chord is a mofucka. Tracy Bonham has a bloody cool voice. Slap her voice in the body of Kate Beckinsale, but retain the British accent and you have my dreamgirl. If I'm ever an evil villain I'll make that one of my projects. Landsakes it's almost 4! Get Catch the Sun by the Doves. Thanks, Twot. Awesome music. |

| Since I originally planned on doing homework, and since getting any work done given my roommate situation involves someplace akin to Mozart's, and since it's near midnight as I begin this post thanks to Wolfenstein, I'll be updating instead of working. Wolfenstein is badass, however incomparable to Day of Defeat for realism. I finally learned to shut the fuck up about the freedom of both the Axis and Allies to use the same weapons and just sit back and enjoy the carnage. Oh yea, and it's retarded but cool that you can call in airstrikes (esp as Axis considering they never had air support vs American infantry). It's a fucking great game, and most reviews I've seen consider it a great multiplayer game that happens to have a good single-player game... Kind of an insult to Grey Matter Studios, considering Nerve was brought on to do multiplayer only as an afterthought. The graphics are absolutely staggering if your machine can afford to crank them up high enough. Me I'm still using a voodoo3 3500 so it's only great on my machine. Multiplayer will suck the social out of your social life, though. I set my cell phone alarm for 7:30pm so I could leave for the lake to get some work done, and here I sit, having only quit after being driven away by ghastly pings. I'll study tomorrow. I was fucking pissed about the Weezer show because of the way everything played out... Tickets said 7:30, we figured that meant doors. We weren't that far off, but Jimmy Eat World only played for 30 minutes, then the D, then we show up at the end of their set. Weezer was kickass, but goddamnit we missed Tenacious D and didn't have GA tix! I needed to see Weezer though. I can't believe I hadn't seen them before. Good Lord our B team's name is Graze. I know why it came to that, too. All the brilliant and clever suggestions were either too goofy, too sexual, or too far beyond the comprehension of the majority of the team. We therefore ended up having to choose which name we hated the least.. That's how it was for me anyway. I'd still take any of my top 5 picks: Daddy No, Rhythmic Banging, Swish, Dr. Awkward, and of course Virgin. But no, we're Graze. It's still kinda funny to us that know the origins, but not very. It's better than the other 2 or 3 finalists. I got stuck working 3 days in a row, including 2 night shifts which I HATE working. I want a new job. I'm a network and computer specialist not a godamn dish cleaner. I don't so much mind the delivery and the occasional stupid customer as the fucking busy work and cleaning. Eckk. All this hostility towards Chris Sims is getting out of hand. I dunno if he's been harrassed or anything (though I wouldn't doubt it) but shit, let's see you do a better job you fat lazy fucks. All these people are complaining about his turnovers (as well they should) but then they go off on tangents involving violence to his person. It's just football people! Yes, I know what you're going to say: this is Texas and football = religion. But wait, shut your fucking mouth. Yes Major Applewhite is more wisened and reliable but Sims is still a fucking good quarterback and you have no place to criticize AND you could do no better. He just doesn't do very well under pressure. He murdered everybody except OU and CU, so get off his back. I'll admit I was and still am pissed about all the bloody interceptions and the fact that Mack Brown has been way too stubborn all year about keeping Sims in the game which capsized Applewhite's career when it should've been at its peak, but I'm not about to attempt kicking Sims' ass. The offensive linemen prolly have his back and those are some large motherfuckers. Massive Attack - Group Four I intended to do reviews tonight but I'm gonna hit the RTCW and sleep instead. Oh and pumpkin pie. I'm gonna eat some pumpkin pie. |
