Upbeat

So I've pretty much been listening to very upbeat music lately. I'm pretty much in love with the song White Sky from Vampire Weekend's new album Contra.  I have also recently been listening to The 88. They did the theme song for the show Community. I was like, "Oh hai, I like this, and looked them up."  They kind of remind me of The Little Ones a bit.  Locksley is another band I have really liked lately.  They remind of an upbeat mix between the Libertines and Mando Diao.  I think they are releasing a new album in a few days.

Its really nice to have fresh new music to listen to.  I was just getting to a point where I hadn't had new music for a few months and was incredibly bored of what I did have.  You probably don't care about any of the music specifically but I think everyone can relate to being in a fresh music slump.





Also Bowerbirds is a band I've recently started listening to.  They are like Andrew Bird not whistling and using a lot of accordion. Oh, and heres a really creepy drawing of a hot dog.

Vidjy Gameszz

I just started playing through Batman: Arkam Asylum. It is a pretty sweet game so far. I definitely recommend playing it. Maybe wait until its price goes down though. I'm bigger on single player games then I used to be.  You still don't get the kind of replay ability that you get with multi-player games.  Nothing beats a good ol' fashion game of Halo.  I am excited for Reach.  Halo 3 has run its course.

Lets have a Mario Party


I miss it

Too good not to get cancled!

Dollhouse is by far my favorite science fiction show on TV right now, even though it got canceled and is finishing its second but sadly last season.  It motivated me to check out Joss Whedon's previous show Firefly (Also Canceled), cause lets face it, I wasn't about to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I've only watched two episodes and I am already hooked. Its quirky and exciting and suspenseful, a perfect sci-fi show.  The second episode someone gets kicked into a fucking engine.


Also, Steve the Pirate is in it.

I really hope that V doesn't get canceled after 1 season. Some critic said it was too slow. What a fucking idiot.  It is a quicker pace then most quality shows.  I guess the reason shows like this get canceled is due to sci-fi not being very main stream.  Heroes is really the only popular sci-fi show and frankly most episodes are more like a fucking soap opera where everyone has powers.  With Dollhouse I personally think it was Fox's fault.  They put it in the Friday night death spot after like 2 episodes.  Maybe if you put it at 10 when nothing else is fucking on any other weeknight it would not have gotten canceled.  A great quality show like Dollhouse doesn't have good enough ratings to stay on the air and fucking Glee is popular!  Makes me lose some faith in humanity.


Although, only half as faggy as Dollhouse's theme song

He's supposed to be 16?

The milk chug was today, an absolutely horrid event.  Not too reluctantly I decided not too participate.  My intense animosity towards throwing up greatly outweighed any small chance I had at winning the money.  There was an incredibly large turnout, a lot of odd people.  I guess those are the kind of people that would go to a milk chug. I'm glad Gage won.


              lol, fag


Just saw Youth in Revolt.  Meh.  The ending kind of saved the movie for me.  It just was not that funny.  I mean, don't get me wrong, there were some funny parts.  The movie felt underdeveloped.  It was a great concept and the clear highlights of the movie were whenever Michael Cera was with his alter-ego.  It felt like too small of a part of the movie.  Everything in the movie did!  Characters kept getting introduced but not utilized enough.  Zack Galifinakas, Justin Long, Fred Willard, and other characters should have been in the movie more.  The dialog was a tad strange and awkward, sometimes just taking away from the enjoyability of the movie. It did have some redeemable qualities I guess.  It wasn't entirely terrible and there were a few times I found my self laughing pretty hard.  I don't think it was worth seeing in theater but it could be an okay movie if you are bored one day. I'm just excited for Cera to go back to being George-Michael and the upcoming Arrested Development movie.



I think I accidentally started a new nickname for Charleston.  I was sitting at my computer about to type Chuck Town when I realized, "Wow, I hate that nickname," and just typed Chuckleston.  I hope it catches on and becomes the new nickname for the town.

Knickers

Golfed today. Not even close to being any good at it. I have only golfed a few times in my entire life.  It is too expensive of a hobby although I could see myself playing more regularly.   Not even close to as fun as disc golf. Only thing impeding my success as a golfer is straight up concentration.  The dilemma is not that I am not competitive, not at all, it just moves a little slow for me. Death would befall my sanity through 18 holes. 9 is just fine with me.

If I start playing golf more consistently I need to get me some ridiculous knickers.  That would be the only way to do it.



And a matching cap,



And some argyle socks,
