The Confusion
I picked up Neal Stephenson’s The Confusion yesterday. Sadly, I probably won’t read it till the summer. I have a very large stack of books to read, and school doesn’t help.
I bought Kill Bill, too.
Concert
A Perfect Circle tomorrow in the Tacoma Dome. Yay.
Revolutions (again)
I just watched the Revolutions DVD. That was an erotic experience, and I haven’t even touched the second disc with the bonus features yet. Speaking of discs, it comes with a “Bonus CD-ROM” mini-cd taped on the front. I haven’t looked at that yet, so I have no idea what it is.
I’m going to listen to Navras now.
And if you didn’t catch it last time: my hair is black (“Noir”, actually).
2600 April Fools
Not as good as last year, but 2600 has a fun April Fools site.
Does anybody have a mirror of last years?
A Clockwork Orange
I finished reading A Clockwork Orange. It’s an excellent book, definitely one of my favorites. If you’ve seen the movie, you must read the book, which is much better (or worse, depending on how you look at it). If you haven’t seen the movie or read the book, then first watch the movie and then read the book. Over half the words were completely made up by Anthony Burgess, so watching the movie first helps to give you an idea of how he talks.
If you’ve never heard of it, the story is somewhat of a 1984 meets Peter Pan. A horrorshow book.
The edition of the book that I linked to includes the last chapter, which was previously unavailable in the US version and also cut out from Stanley Kubrick’s movie. This really should be a sin, as the last chapter completely makes the book.
Also, a warning: the movie, and the book even more so, are definitely deserving of the R rating.
Submit
I was channel surfing and happened upon MTV2, which has playing some new Incubus video. It was pretty good. After that I went down one to MTV and they showed a still of a Britney Spears video. She was naked, except for some shiny things on her body. This made me chuckle. After that they cut to a shot of the audience, which appeared to be mainly comprised of college-age people. This made me cry. I really hoped that it would be full of middle school students because then they’d have an excuse to succumb to the corporate brain washing: they don’t know any better. But college students? Unless they have a dump truck of weed, there really is no excuse.
Forwarding
I’ve stopped my packet8 number (1-206-384-4309) from forwarding to my cell phone. So, yeah, now it only rings in my room. You can still email my cell phone: mobile at pig dash monkey dot com
