I like Death And All His Friends (for all you mainstream whores out there, that’s the much cooler alternate title to Viva La Vida), just like my favourite movie, How I Learned To Stop Caring And Love The Bomb.
I figure that its mainstream appeal is balanced by the fact that I found it first. So yeah, I made a bar chart to illustrate:
I think that clears everything up.
Remember when they used to be clever, REMEMBER THAT. I know you do. I also know you’re not reading this, so hey, we’re both right:
Ok, time for a quick retrospective:
I bet you’re thinking, yeah that’s Ekans right! Which you obviously are, cause the only person reading this is me, and I DEFINETLY know that. But wait, you’re thinking, that’s not clever. It doesn’t make any sense, cause…wait, WAIT! Ekans…, SNAKE!!!! Snake backwards. GENIUS!
Now how about this guy,
This is Ralts. Which is Stlar, backwards…, I mean wait. Ralts sounds like…, I meant it…
Brian failed today:
Brian: “I would rather play Dota, than be a ninja”.
Fail Brian. Don’t even try to defend yourself.
P.S. The song title was chosen courtesy of the following lyrics:
He’s a vicar in a tutu,
He’s not strange
He just wants to live his life this way.
So begins a trend of irrelevant titles which I shall pick arbitarily from my Recently Played playlist on iTunes.
I watched a movie last night (gasp, surprise), and it brought up an interesting question, regarding where I placed it on my similarly arbitary ranking of all movies I’ve watched and can remember. The fact is, the ending of the movie defined “Holy fuck, my mind just exploded”, but up until that moment I considered it to be an overall disappointment. In the ensuing hyped state, I placed it at number one. I’m not going to name the movie, because otherwise it’ll overhype the ending, and it won’t be appreciated by whoever may see the movie. But yeah, does the movie deserve it just cause of a ridiculous ending?
Mario Kart Wii comes out in a month. Comes with a free steering wheel attachment. Also Pro Ev 2008 for Wii (with associated fucking awesome controls) comes out in a month. Any doubts about the Wii (particularly in light of the upcoming Brawl game) must be surely assuaded. Just need to fix my router.
I hate Engineering. I hate Science. I have realised this. I want to switch to computer science. I plan to drop Science. That’s the long and the short of it I guess.
I guess I have a bit of an inferiority complex. I often have a particular train of thought where I wonder if I’d be anyone’s best man.
The scariest thing about watching a silent movie is the knowledge that every single member of the cast, from that old man, to the crying infant, is dead.
My brother is better. No pneumonia. No glandular fever. The house can now be used again. Hurrah. In other news, I have no time.
Now that I’ve read War & Peace, I feel I can win every argument with a wry smile followed by “That’s not what Tolstoy said”. If not, there’s always “Admit you’re wrong, or Dostoevsky will eat your children”. Disturbed chap.
There’s this Dinosaur Comic I’ve been trying to find. But I can’t.
I’ve spent the past three years trying to listen to everything I can musically, and still everyone hates my musical taste.
So I picked Brian up at 1:00am yesterday morning, after he called me. Which is fair enough. Wait, he didn’t even call me. He pranked me. He got me to pick him up, and made me pay for the phone call in which he told me to pick him up. Brian, don’t get so insulted. It’s less insulting if you realise you’re the only one reading this.
A movie which for the first-half is one genre, and then at a very definite point halfway through the film, changes genre completely.
This might sound like one of those crappy comedy/parodies, but its not…, the trick is both halves of the movie are treated completely seriously. Example:
Romantic Comedy/Horror Film
Tagline: Roger had everything he’d ever wanted, until he met Sally… and then zombies attacked!
The first half of the move is a typical romantic comedy… rich millionaire is hedonistic and shallow, until he finds a girl who refuses to be bought and he has to learn to be humble and care about people, and at about the one-hour-mark, they’re walking through a park, staring lovingly into each other’s eyes, a man is walking up to them in ragged clothing, and Roger in his new spirit of generosity goes to give the man some money, but the man is a ZOMBIE! Sally must flee to Roger’s country manor to escape the growing hoarde, on the way meeting a series of strangers. Then they all die in a dramatic twist ending!

Nothing need be said.
In an attempt to halt the decline of CD sales, in this age of online file-sharing , the RIAA has taken the only logical action that it could. Which is of course to punish the people who actually BUY CDs, by declaring it illegal to rip music onto your computer from a legally purchased CD:

You know what else might be a good idea? Stabbing all your customers in the eye with a sharp stick.
I am, of course, completely behind RIAA in all their whimsical ventures, and, as such, am advising you that to click any of the links below, and download any of the excellent songs provided is illegal, and morally bankrupt. And instead, you should throw away your iPod (to which adding music is FORBIDDEN) and buy yourself a nice portable boombox.
