where is my head
where are my bones
why are my days so far from home?
...
where is my head
where are my bones
how come we get so lost?
...
where is my head
where are my bones
can you save me from myself?

holy crap, but this one fits...

those of you who are religious, please say a prayer for me,
the rest of you, rub a worry stone, or kill small animals or whatever people like you do.
There's some stuff going on at work that is really stressing me out right now,
and I'm going to try to change some of it tonight. I don't know how it will go,
I just know that if something doesn't change, the chances of me needing to find a new job are pretty high.
Other than that, life's fine. (wow. I remember when I updated this weekly, if not more often. i wanna work on that...)

I just don't know how morning people do it.
I'm getting home from work, it's light everywhere, there are strange noises (dad says that they were 'birds'?) businesses are open...
It's confusing and frightening.
I'm going to bed, and I can only hope that whenever I wake up things are back to normal.

I'm listening to a techno remix of a Tupac song.
It is remarkably lacking in the suck department.
That is all.

Post a comment to this entry, and I'll

1 - Tell you why I friended you.
2 - Associate you with a song/film/tv show.
3 - Tell a random fact about you.
4 - Tell a first memory about you.
5 - Associate you with a character/pairing.
6 - Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7 - Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
8 - In response, you must spread this disease in your LJ.

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 15 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

I run a comb through my hair/and step out in the street
sprawling on the fringes of the city/in geometric order
Are you still in to it?/'cause I'm still in to it.
Your Love is fading/I feel it fade
When I get up in the Morning/Got a World of trouble on my mind
hello my friend/we meet again
the is the gardern/this is the steeple
Better than watching Geller bending silver spoons/better than witnessing new born nebulas in bloom
I want someone to love/a girl that when I think of
You're in my head/tormenting me
Stood there leaning to the city moon/casting silhouettes tall to grip her white rooms
Say where you gonna go/girl where you gonna hide
Friday night it was late/I was walking you home
Dawn wakes the silence/of a fainted lullaby
when the music's over/when the music's over here


ETA: there were two or three instrumentals in the first fifteen, so I kept going until I had fifteen.
#4 Cradle of Filth::Portrait of the Dead Countess
#11/12 Ennio Morricone::Il Forte

Went drinking with some of the people from work tonight.
If sprite were alcoholic, I'd be completely wasted right now.

I has a bagel.
*loves teh bagel*

I should probably go to bed now, if not sooner.

I just downloaded an album called Nine Inch Elvis. Somebody covered a bunch of elvis songs in the style of NIN.
I think I'm going to use it as my sleeping music for the next week. it's fun/ny

There are certain aspects of my personality that I loathe.
Case in point: my tendency to, once something passes a certain threshold, decided that dealing with it is more trouble than the eventual explosion of suck.
Tonight, I finally needed my pyrex bowl enough to clean it. It has been sitting in my fridge for the last month+ with some fruit-salad remnants in it. When I removed the lid, it smelled like I was trying to invent a new type of alcohol (unless there's already one made by fermenting pineapple....)
(some of my other tendencies, however, do help mitigate my bad ones, in this instance, my iron-clad rule that I always have disposable surgery gloves on-hand)

Can anyone recommend some pipe organ music (recordings, not sheet music), or point me to a good starting place to find some?
bonus points if you show me something with some proper menace to it....

ten random things no-one (?) knows about you

01 I own all four members of the previous console generation
02 I name my cats after fish
03 I have a terrible addiction to bad fanfic
04 I love giving gifts that are just a bit... off
05 Non-Con is the only fet. that bothers me.
06 I hate being touched by people I don't know or people I don't like
07 Black Walnut is the best flavor ever.
08 The staton on my XM most frequently is the 60s channel
09 I read The Consumerist religiously
10 I have a thing for interesting glassware

It really is the small pleasures that get to me.
It's half-past three, and I'm sitting in my chair, and having my delicious supper, (A glass of juice, a ham sandwich, and a pudding cup) and all is well with the world.
It doesn't matter that tomorrow is going to suck.
I haven't been sleeping well lately: I'll be tired.
Mom's awake and walking: She wants to have a 'talk' tomorrow.
the new OpSuper is a complete retard: I'll have to deal with him, without telling him the truth and getting myself fired.
My girlfriend is in NC, I am in NE. I won't see her for at least another month, maybe more.
but right now, that's in the far distant future, and I am content.
I will go to bed, and sleep. Tomorrow is another day, maybe I'm being too pessimistic. We'll see....
...and in my dreams, I fly...

Well, in a few minutes, (depending on Pandora deciding to behave herself tonight), I shall be shutting down and unplugging, for... a period of time. During this period of time, lasting no longer than until monday morning, but at least until thursday afternoon//evening, I shall be out of contact via teh intarwebs. However, I shall be in areas where my cell has service!!! (Yes, they have those. They're just put in places where they are of no normal use to me) so, if you need me, though I can't see why, I will still be around.
Anyway, the deal is this: Something came up. I have asked for, and received the time off from work. We'll be leaving sometime later this morning. I'm shutting Pandora off now as I won't have time later. I hope I can work a mini-vacation into this, as I desperately need one. (Full explanation whenever I get around to posting about my summer) As I don't yet know all of the details of what's going on, I shall refrain from speaking at any more length on it. Have a lovely [period of time], and I'll catch you on the flipside.

Honestly, I don't have anything to say, I just wanted to post something today.
(I was hoping for some satanic spectacular, but I had to settle for having mom wake me too early. not quite the same.)

Bondage is Fun!

That said, does anybody know of a good place to buy handcuffs?

Call me on this if I'm wrong, but that's a decent music collection, no?

The following is a formula to determine the difference in velocity as imparted by the rotational force of the earth between two points of differing heights (with the same relative location, by elevation and by latitude).

π(H₁ - H₂)/86400

If the result is positive, Object with Height=H₁ is moving faster than Object with Height=H₂.
If the result is negative, Object with Height=H₁ is moving slower than Object with Height=H₂

The answer will be in ft/sec.


Bigger equation, smaller thinking:
π{[ft₁(12) + in₁/12] - [ft₂(12) + in₂/12]}/86400

1995 - U.S. President Bill Clinton signs a highway bill that ends the federal 55 mph speed limit.

1628 - John Bunyan, English cleric and author (d. 1688)

1962 - Jon Stewart, American comedian, actor, and television host

1859 - Washington Irving, American writer (b. 1783)

1994 - Jeffrey Dahmer, American serial killer (b. 1960)

Experience is a scary teacher.

For example, I have just learned that although there is incredible pleasure in a peanut butter sandwich, there are few things quite as terrifying as dropping a pickle on a dark floor without having shoes on.

okay, here's something that'll fuck you up faster than a three-dollar hooker:
Wearing contacts and glasses at the same time.
Yeah.
Not recommended, unless you want to start seeing the fourth dimension, become a psychic, and start seeing auras.

For each person who replies to this, tell them what you see in them, and in their future.
make it as serious or comedic as you want.


People, by this time, I shouldn't have to give you my riot act.

Erick's tip #392 to look like a complete tool in public:

Listen to music that you havn't heard before that may include sound effects.
For example: Listen to a song that contains emergency vehicle sirens, and then spend twenty seconds whipping your head around, trying to figure out where they're coming from before realizing that it's your earphones.

You've had your say. I have listened, and I will consider.
You are not to bring it up again.

If you mention it on the phone, I will hang up, on that call, and on subsequent calls until I decide otherwise.
If you mention it in an email, I will not reply, and I will killfile your address until I decide otherwise.
If you mention it in LJ, I will defriend you, and ban_set you, across all journals until I decide otherwise.

You may believe me, or not.
You may take me seriously, or not.
It is your choice.
For your sake alone, I recommend the first of each pair.

I really don't want to go through with this. I really don't like pain, and this has the possiblity of really, really hurting. I'd honestly just rather leave it alone. I know that if I don't get it taken care of now, that it'll just get worse, it might even get to the point that it spreads, but that pain is in the future, it's not nearly as immediate as this is going to be. I really don't like surgery, either. The thought of having Dr. Scott take care of this himself wasn't so bad, but now that I'm going to an actual surgon, with all the fun of general anesthesia, well, it isn't helping reassure me. I don't have a problem with surgery, exactly, or even with getting knocked out, although I really do like being aware of myself at all times, but a place I've never been, and a doctor I've never met certainly do contribute to the general anxiety I'm feeling.
And seriously, isn't enough enough? This is going to be the third fucking dental operation in the last week and a half, the fourth in the last month and a half. Damnit, when will this be done?
It's at times like these that I really regret the placement of my friends.

Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad.
25 years is nothing to sneeze at; Here's to 25 more.

It's nice to have a dentist who knows what the fuck he's doing, even if that means you get a root canal.

Well, here's another Year-End CD Review.
(Note: These albums may not have been released in '05, but that's when I listened to them first.)
