Kablammo!

So, as usual, I was reading about fifteen Wikipedia pages at once when I stumbled across something rather terrifying: apparently there’s a guy named “Lol“. I tell you, if I ever hear about somebody named “Rofl” I can’t be held accountable for my actions.

In other news, I’ve been spending this week sleeping 5 hours a night or less, waking up bright and early, and bounding out of bed in the morning, full of energy. I don’t know what’s going on, and I’m not sure I like it.

But, it’s not so bad being awake when you have days like these:

Song of the Moment: «Hum and Strum» — Doc Cook and His 14 Doctors of Syncopation

I knew the “Db” in IMDb was quite extensive, but I never realized just how extensive it was. (Funny how the trivia, goofs, &c. sections for these movies are all nonexistent, though.)

Also interesting to note that evidently some franchises are evidently able to maintain a high-enough level of quality to warrant literally dozens of sequels. Rocky, in comparison, became simply depressing after, say, the third installment; and George Lucas should probably have had his hands broken and his eyes put out after Jedi was completed.

Oh, and this is by a wide margin the awesomest cloud ever:

Song of the Moment: «The Cemetary» — Architecture in Helsinki

Song of the Moment: «Eye of the Leopard» — Aavikko

Nothing to read here.

I was reading up on John Kerry, specifically about his tour of duty in Vietnam. After all, he might be President next year and I think it’s generally considered a good idea for voters to inform themselves on stuff about the candidates they’re choosing between. Before I’d even begun to read the page, though, my eye was caught by something very off-putting:

Why does the logo there say “John Kerry, President” instead of “John Kerry For President”, as in the title of the page? It seems very weird and awfully presumptuous of him to have that as the logo on the top of every page of his official site. Obviously he didn’t make the picture or design the pages himself, but he has to have approved of them, and something about that feels wrong.

Also, what’s with his haircut? I mean, damn.

There’s something very incongruous about this guy’s list of Amazon purchases:

Also, why the fuck didn’t I do anything this weekend? I don’t even have another ADoM gamewinner to show for myself.

Song of the Moment: «Angry Chair» — Alice in Chains

Shit, I forgot April Fool’s Day updates were supposed to be funny.

Here you go:

In other news, happy birthday, Irene.

Song of the Moment: «Jumbo» — Underworld

I am informed by The Onion A.V. Club that this month saw the publication of the 300^th and final issue of Cerebus. Soon, the 16^th and final phonebook will be released.

Fuck, that means I have to buy 14 more phonebooks now.

In other news, I’m fairly happy with the way this picture came out:

This is the face of my spring break:

• Icicles
• and more icicles

The drunken Irish singer for the drunken Irish band at the Baggot Inn last night won my respect early with the line “half of one, six dozen of the other” and with the way he threw lyrics from Alice Cooper’s «Eighteen» onto the end of another song. Either of those could merely have been drunken mistakes, but were genius if they were intentional. Unfortunately he blew the best line in «Honky Tonk Woman» while they were covering it, but at least he had good stories involving a drunken Richard Harris. And I got a free ‘Bareknuckle Stout’ t-shirt.
