And Dale's post was full of typical Dale wisdom, people really should listen to him more.

I agree with this 100%.

Hooray for Mad Englishmen!

For those too lazy to read, he's a professor so obsessed with cyborgs, he's turning himself into one. He has a chip in his hand (?) which allows him to control things like lights, doors, heaters, etc, etc. Then he implanted a neuro-surgical chip into his arm to allow movement of a cybernetic one, as well as developed purely electronic communication (think telepathy through electronic signals) but putting one in his wife.

Only a madman would give direct access to their thoughts to their wife

...That's just asking for divorce.

Here is a nice little music video to put you in the Halloween spirit.

Ok, wtf. I knew the Japanese were weird but...damn. And yet i'm oddly curious,

Im warning you right now, not only is it not safe for work, but this is possibly one of those things you really don't wanna know about.

When I saw that balloon boy it brought a tear to my eye....

It's nice to know that Michael Jackson can get takeout in heaven.

Just a mention, but I think my brother will be joining the group tonight. Hoping he'll be a little active too. Going to try to convince him to put a music project together much like young Monk has been doing. Kind of an exciting prospect actually.

Facebook is beign super shitty today.

This is true. Though it just got a lot better about 5 minutes ago for me.

Awesome!

Just in case anyone wanted to know, Sons of Otis high is excellent.

Ok, to see if its just me, the 'groove' in the last 30 seconds of this:


Sounds almost identical to the 'electro' groove in this (~23secs in):


Anyone else hear that?

Sounds similar, but not identical by any means. In fact, I had to re-listen to the first one to notice any similarity.

I swear that bass line made me think of that song...

I'm thinking about doing another MS paint cartoon about the shit dragon. I did a three part thing last year and a song about it, but I've always wanted to continue the myth.

...or the truth and history because the shit dragon and the shit golem are both actual magical predators.

I think I actually read that once

Seeing Cynic, Devin Townsend, Scale The Summit, and between the buried and me on Jan 28th, and seeing Korpiklaani, Tyr, Swashbuckle, and white wizard on jan 8th. So stoked.

So the beer I was drinking turned out to be 9.2%. Figures.

Right now, I really hate all my classes.

I don't hate all my classes, just 'Warfare in Ancient Mediterranean Society'. Seriously, it sounded like it would be really cool, but it's boring as fuck and the books cost over $200. Fuck that.
On a slightly different note, don't ever take 5 history classes in one semester unless you wanna get fucking buried in reading and papers. Individually, most of my classes are pretty cool, but taken all it once they're just overwhelming

Yeah I can't imagine that many history classes. We only take 4 classes a semester here, and I'm taking 3 history classes, shit's tough.

How many hours is that?
My schedule this semester's 16 semester hours, which is the most I've ever had (12 is the minimum to be considered a full-time student, and 18's the max without getting special permission).
