Sucks, Colin. But at least you get to meet Epica.

I want to get a slow motion camera just for him. I want the following film: (low to the floor, looking through doorway into kitchen, framed by doorway) (nothing happens) (for perhaps just a beat too long, nothing continues to happen) (dust starts to blow in from stage left, it is now obvious that this is slow motion) (cat enters from stage left, "drifting", going sideways from sheer momentum, scrambling for traction) (cat continues from stage left to stage right, "drifting") (cat exits stage right, still "drifting") (fade to black)

You bastard, you bought the Moth?

I just received that $30 watch that was posted a while back -- I had totally forgotten I ordered it, and for a second there thought I had bought it off eBay, because I was looking at other IK Colouring watches there (specifically, the one with the alternately polarizing/not polarizing face). And I didn't remember paying for anything there. And on a completely unrelated note -- this is so hawt:

Context sure seemed to imply otherwise, wrongboy.

She looks cold.

My cat has taken to bouncing off vertical things. I think he's trying to recreate this scene from Daywatch: Day Watch - Car | SPIKE

This. In 30 words or less, even.

...just sounds too much like 'GS1000'.

A couple more additions: Bear in Heaven, Beast Rest Forth Mouth -- Yes, I really did enjoy it that much. The XX, XX Tokio Hotel, Humanoid -- too poppy for the "darkest desires" set, too hard for the pop set, just right for me. Fever Ray Yello, Touch Yello That rocks something awesome. (For those not familiar, it's a cover of the M.I.A. song.) Hey, if you haven't heard of them already, you should check out the Bad Plus.

Oh you bastard. Me: various flavors of human food*, including pumpkin, key lime, and cinnamon/honey; chicken flavored cat food. * Never gets old.

...unless indians attack, in which case they may have to drive in circles for a while.

Now with less flimsy!

Win.

Two more: OSI, Blood -- contemporary progressive, alternating between hard and experimental/melancholy/ambient/whatever you want to call it, quite possibly their best since the first one. Placebo, Battle for the Sun -- easily my favorite Placebo release ever. Songwriting fine-tuned down to Garbage standards (which, for me, is pretty high).

(raises hand) My dad taught me to respect his gear (I forget the kind of speaker -- yes, singular -- but it had a tweed grill), especially the hot tubes on the Heathkit. On the other hand, a damn good turntable was destroyed during my high school years by another kid of a similar age at a party leaving a drink on the turntable while it spun round.

Mucho apreci

No, unfortunately. Thanks, I'll be off for the next hour or so.

Please do keep me apprised of that, I think I would prefer high-res a la Ghosts than vinyl.

So does that stuff become the property of Koss? Is there a chance in hell of any of that shit getting auctioned off to compensate them? Fashion trends tend to move much more quickly than that, I do honestly believe that they are all going to be devalued somewhat (even tainted by the scandal itself -- although from a charity perspective, their value might also get inflated, so I think those two cancel each other out, leaving only "time" as the primary devaluing factor), but not completely, only partially.

C днем рождения!
