Eating Mad

Is the new eating sad.

Accidents will happen.

I'm an easy mistake.

Hi little girl, it's me. Don't you know who I am?

Have you ever talked dirty to an avocado as you cut it up? I highly recommend it. Puns are still funny if they're unintentional, right?

My ears are ringing with the sounds of rodents scratching, eating, fucking, and buying Christmas presents in the cupboards and behind the refrigerator and oven.

I'm trying to find a picture to put a caption on. It will be posted here eventually.

Okay, so I posted it. I really wish there were better pictures of Dylan for this. Oh well. At least he looks terribly sad.

There is about 4 inches of snow on the ground right now.  Supposed to be another 4" by tomorrow. I live in a house on a corner and I get to shovel about 80 paces worth of snow every time it snows. My back hurts. Oh well.

I'm committing to listening to the Beach Boys until I forget about it. I only have 3 albums on my computer so I'm probably gonna have to add some stuff. Pet Sounds a capella is pretty amazing right now. One of my favorite lesser known Beach Boys albums is Summer Days (and Summer Nights which features the hits "Help Me Rhonda" and "California Girls" but also includes several wacky tunes like "I'm Bugged at My Old Man", where The Brothers Wilson sing wonderful verses such as:

They gave me some breadcrumbs
And a little glass of water
And they're out there eating steak
(Smells so good)

Other songs such as "Salt Lake City" (What else is there to do in SLC but be polygamous?) and "Amusement Parks U.S.A." (I'm assuming that they got some free rollercoaster rides out of this little jingle) are nearly successful in making this album appear to have very little substance. But wait! You get to the middle of the album and Brian Wilson starts to kick out the jams, motherfuckers. Aside from the previously mentioned hits, "Girl Don't Tell Me" has a wonderful melody and makes me remember all my middle-school summer camp flings. "Let Him Run Wild" features Brian's falsetto at its best with an absolutely killer hook in the chorus. A song that seems to foreshadow the Pet Sounds vibe is "You're So Good To Me", which is like an upbeat version of "You Still Believe In Me." "Summer Means New Love", in the same way, is a beautiful instrumental piece a la "Let's Go Away For Awhile." The album ends with a beautiful a capella song "And Your Dreams Come True" which is a good a way to end an album as any. It feels like the credits at the end of a movie scrolling upwards to heaven. The only unmentioned, although somewhat notable song on the album is "Then I Kissed Her" which was written by Phil Spector and a couple other guys. It's a good song and fits very well with the rest of the album, but I don't usually get too excited about covers. 

Apparently this blog turned into an album review. COOL.

Today I came up with a term which describes an aesthetic that I really appreciate. It has the same initials as Erectile Disfunction.

Vampires, Online Near You.

Google should make G-garlic.

Auto Tune!

From the Wikipedia entry on Kanye West's "808s & Heartbreak":

The album relies heavily on the voice audio processor technology of Auto-Tune. "We were working on the remixes for Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" and Young Jeezy's "Put On" and he fell in love with the Auto-Tune," Dean explained.[9] Towards this end, West enlisted T-Pain for coaching on how to properly utilize Auto-Tune.[11] West himself openly stated that he loves using Auto-Tune and is dismayed that the term has been commonly associated with being "wack." He considers the technology "the funnest thing to use" and compared the situation to when he was a child and thought the color pink was cool until someone told him "it was gay." He went on to state how the views of society can rob people of their confidence and self-esteem.[12] He later went on to state that he enjoyed the electronic feel produced by Auto-Tune and sought out to juxtapose the mechanical sounds with the traditional sounds of taiko drums and choir monks.[13] It was revealed that the occasional exaggerated vocal effects produced by Auto-Tune are meant to represent the effect of being heartbroken.[14]

Some things

There is only one brunette in this city that I am very attracted to.

Cheesy-ranch Chex mix isn't that good.

Cheez-its aren't as good as they were when I was young. There might be too much cheese. The name is awesome though... I love it when Bender says "Cheese it."

This is Thanksgiving right now. I'm thankful that I have 3 hours less driving than I did the last 7 years.

Why do I function so much better when I'm in love?

I can't stop thinking about vampires playing baseball.
