Ok, so I had high expectations going into this, so much so that I downloaded 4 EP's or full lengths from this band last night.... and I was esepcially excited for this one as it had my favorite song by them I'd heard thus far, "Sink, Florida, Sink"..... often times, you'll find that an album with one track you like contains other tracks in the same vein, or sounding similar..... little did I know I was in for a shock here...

I listened to this album from start to finish, and while I do enjoy some of the songs, it's not as good as I had hoped it would be... it was sorta slow, but not in a good way... I probably need to give it a few more listens, but I'm not sure i'll even be able to do THAT! And, the song I knew I liked, they made it slower, and not nearly as pleasureable to the ears as the what must have been a demo version that I heard before....

On to the next album, which is Tori Amos - The Beekeeper... I don't even know why I'm listening to this, and it's a good chance I won't even get all the way through it...

A few music notes:

First, Bono is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Not only that, but this is actually his SECOND nomination. The only way I could possibly see him winning this award is if U2 agrees to stop making albums, FOREVER.

Secondly, Green Day is touring, and they are charing upwards of $30 for tickets. What is this all about anyways? I mean, I saw them live a few times, and the show was pretty decent. However, it's not worth that. And since their new album is pretty fucking bad, I can't see any point to seeing this. Have fun Deke, et al.

Shelby got my hopes up today by telling me Korn broke up. However, only one guy left the band. Fuck fuck fuck. It's only a matter of time before that band realizes that the trend it started has come to a screeching halt. It's all over, you silly motherfuckers.

Development has stopped on O2 for now. I lost the will to work on it due to school being a huge annoyance (even more so then usual). I have massive amounts of homework right now, and it's really not all easy homework, like I wish it was. Math still rules though.

I think I'm pretty much set with the iPod thingy... having to use windows or mac to update the db on the iPod is stupid, and I wish Apple would just make iTunes for Linux. I mean, MacOS is built on Unix. It can't be that hard to import the program to Linux, with all those supposed "brilliant people" they have over there. Sheesh....

I really think that is it for now. I'm just waiting for the second Will Christopher Baer book to come in the mail. Got it, and the Contortionists Handbook for $20. Will update on that when I've read them. Expecting some good new music here shortly as well.

I wrote a little php script that updates an itunesDB, and then parses it out and puts the stuff into an sql db... so then i can manipulate it from there....

I like it.... the more fun little projects you can do like that, the better..

I'm sitting at work, really damn bored... I don't even know what to do with myself right now... I'm sick of Quake2 (yes, I DO still play it), I'm at a standstill as far as coding goes, I really don't have any ideas... I know there is alot more to it, but with the part I am working on now, I just got nothing in my brain that seems to need adding....

I have an overwhelming urge to write something, but I don't think I have it.. I'm far too self critical to write, most of the time, as I don't usually like what I've written in the end... there are very few things I've created, literary or otherwise, that I consider to be worthwhile, or that I am proud of....

Check out disconcertia as it's pretty interesting writing there.... also, check out sean's blog with his new theme switcher there.. sure, he didn't do it himself, but the themes are pretty nice, even if they are just modded skins for Kubrick for Wordpress.

That's all I got for now. I may or may not be going to a show tonight at Mac's.... I guess we'll see how I feel after a few more cups of coffee....

Life is dragging again.. but, on the upside, I have a project right now that I am actually interested in... it addresses some of the MANY flaws that are in this site currently... the word is "customization".... it's gonna be alot better then this... still lots and lots of work to do, but it's definitely getting there....

Other then that, not much going on... Planning for the wedding is grating on Marissa... which in turn causes it to grate on me.... it's alot of work, which she is shouldering most of... damn good woman she is....

Moved this, marissa, and photo over to the new server yesterday, and besides a minor issue with the photo RSS feed, everything looks to be working. I\'m happy that my shit is so portable.....
