Unmitigated fucking gall. http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2008/05/14/hpv-cancers.html"Oh no! HPV was found in 50% of male oral cancers! We need to make sure everyone gets vaccinated post haste!" This is a far cry from the recent "Oh no! HPV is found to be the leading cause of cervical cancer! Too bad giving girls a vaccination would make them godless slut perverts!" I want to punch the Religious Right in every part of its tiny dick. Current Mood:  Seriously, fuck those assholes | | 11:28 am |
Fuck you, NASA
Just in case any of you had been waiting to hear the supposedly "huge" announcement NASA was set to drop on us today, here it is:
They found a pretty young supernova. The youngest they've found so far. Yeah. That's it.
NASA, I've defended you since forever, but you know what? I hope you get your funding cut, because you're assholes who told us something big was coming but you couldn't tell us for a week, and then totally blueballed us after letting our minds run wild with expectation. I hate you. | | Tuesday, May 13th, 2008 | | 1:20 pm |
Enough of you love Indiana Jones and Superman to appreciate this. This article has some interesting information about the creative process of John Williams. ---------------------------------------- -------- A couple of weeks ago we did an Q&A with the great composer John Williams in advance of the new Indiana Jones movie. It turned out really well, but having looked at the analytics for the year, it’s become very apparent to me that Q&As drive almost no traffic, so I think we’re probably gonna have to scrap it in place of “‘And Your Little Dog, Too’: Proctologists Recall Their Most Surprising Extractions.”
Still, there were some interesting things in the interview that came completely as news to me. Did you know that when Williams composes a score he comes up with lyrics in his head first and then writes the music to them, even though he knows no one will ever hear the words? This sort of counted as a little bit of a scoop, so rather then let it go to waste I want to share it with you here. For the first time ever, Williams revealed the lyric to “Raiders March,” the stirring title theme of the movies:
In-di-ana fuck-ing Jones
In-di-ana moth-er-fuck-ing Jones
In-di-ana fuck-ing Jones
Bite my ball-sack you Na-zis I’m In-di-ana fuck-ing Jones
What’s so amazing about these lyrics is how accurately they convey the excitement of the film while also delineating its plot points. Williams told us that this was rather an unusual case for him, as he prefers his verse to illuminate the character rather than the story (the words he came up with for the Superman theme, for example, were “He’s got a big cock/Su-per-man/It’s hard as a rock/Su-per-man;” which, as he explained, gives more of a sense of how others see the titular hero), but that he thought the richness of the Raiders scenario called for something a bit more complex. Anyway, fascinating stuff, and I’m sorry we can’t use it, but at least you guys know. So tell your friends.---------------------------------------- --------- Here's The Raiders March theme from Indy and The Superman Theme from Superman to refresh your memory. If you play these songs while reading the lyrics, you will probably never be able to unhear it that way. I don't even want to know if the article is true or not. It is true to me, forever.

FUCK YOU FLU Or whatever other god damn super disease I have that is literally turning my sinuses into a wall! The hilarious irony is that I can only breathe when I stand up and walk around, but I'm so so tired! Kill me now, because I have found my living hell! :D Current Mood:  Insane with madness | | Saturday, April 5th, 2008 | | 8:27 pm |
This is hard Not that I am not immensely grateful for Hashi letting me use this guitar, but JESUS was he not lying when he said the neck was bent. I just spent like the last two hours tuning it, and it's turning my fingers into blood goo because the strings are over a quarter inch from the fret. I try to angle my fingertips so that they're only holding down the string they're supposed to, but my fingers are just too big and keep grazing nearby strings, so when I strum them they sound all retarded. :C This is hard. Advice? I'll be sad if, after all the bringing it here/restringing/tuning stuff we had to do, I just won't be able to play this guitar. PS - Tuning a guitar when you have the flu and your ears are almost completely plugged is like next to impossible. Current Mood:  aggravated | | Monday, March 31st, 2008 | | 10:35 pm |
For my next birthday/xmas/anniversary of saving the world from space terrorists, all I want is a guitar. It can suck, that's fine. I am sick of listening to music and going "I wish I could do that again" and not being able to. If all of you are on one of your hobo-slaying walks and happen upon a singin' hobo, please bring me his guitar. Bring me a guitar, and I will practice until I can bring you an ambulance, which you will need after your face is melted. Current Mood:  annoyed | | 3:26 am |

A little poll, just out of curiosity. 1) Do you believe in God? 2) Why or why not? 3) If you believe in God, could you be convinced otherwise? If you don't, could you be convinced of his/her/its existance? 4) Are you just saying that, or is your mind really dogmatically made up one way or the other? Current Mood:  curious | | Thursday, March 20th, 2008 | | 3:03 pm |
I'd never seen the video for this. And I had no idea what I was missing. Current Mood:  Whaaa? | | Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 | | 1:08 pm |

My sister is a monster. Morgan: God, adopted kids are the worst. They weren't wanted for a reason. Devan: Jesus, Morgan. Morgan: What? Devan: You're just awful, is all. Besides, I thought you said Ginger Kids were the worst. What if you met an adopted Ginger Kid? Would he be like your antichrist or something? Morgan: Don't be stupid, Devan. No one would adopt a Ginger Kid. Current Mood: In awe | | 7:27 pm |
