Looks like the server's on the fritz again, so to make up for it, I'm doing a blog update!

Not that it matters too much, since it doesn't update for Sunday anyway...

And you probably wouldn't know about it, unless you've bookmarked the blog here, and check it everyday...



which you DO do, right? Right??



Anyhoo, little bit of a brain purge...let's see how much stuff I remember now that I wanted to say before I conk out.


Anyone notice a difference in the comic this past week? I happened to run out of the templates I use to draw comics, but because I CARE, I figured a way to draw them without it. Though it's a tiny bit more work for me, I'll probably try and get to Kinko's tomorrow and make some more. And really, isn't innovation much better than "sorry, no comic today" filler?

The other day I had that stupid Fountains of Wayne song, "Stacy's Mom", stuck in my head. Ugh. The problem is, as I end up listening to it more and more (or at least, once and it remains stuck), I begin to like it more and more. Even if it's just for the melody, and in particular the line "Stacy, can't you see? / You're just not the girl for me" in the chorus. So, the music is addictive. That wouldn't be so bad, except I always end up feeling so damn creepy/filthy after listening to the song. Then there's the video. Now, don't get me wrong, Stacy's mom (at least for the purposes of the video) is indeed hot. But, putting myself in the position of the boy, I think to myself, "But there's nothing wrong with Stacy!" I guess I'm just feeling that, at that age, I would've been damn lucky to have known a girl like Stacy, without ruining it with delusional fantasies about her mother.
And that's the overall problem - the damn song makes me think about the subject matter too much! RRR! =P

But there's another song I can feel better about...well, better in some ways, worse in others. "Someday", by Nickelback. Now, I love this song, and I like singing along, because I think I do a fairly good impersonation of Chad Kroeger (but, bear in mind, this is solo car karaoke, so my opinions can't be entirely accurate). This is a song I don't mind getting stuck. The downside is, however, that the lyrics (and the chorus especially) precisely convey the message I would've liked addressed to a certain somebody some time ago. And once again that offsets the good feelings. But I also realized the other day, it's also the message I should be telling myself now, as things aren't exactly ideal. So hopefully applying a positive spin to it will rebalance things.

Oh well. Thank God for Barenaked Ladies. "Another Postcard" is a great example why I like them so much - just a upbeat song about monkey postcards. Nothing about love or angst or any other cliche song topic. (Then again, some BNL songs dredge up unpleasant feelings toward another certain somebody...don't you hate it when that happens?)

This has been bugging me for a while. Why, I don't know. But thinking waaaaaaay back to one of my first posts, also about music - I figured out why I like techno for the most part. It's because it sounds like videogame music. Damn, I finally got around to getting that off my chest and now it feels like I need to elaborate. Oh well.

THREE-PEAT DEE-FEAT! THREE-PEAT DEE-FEAT! THREE-PEAT DEE-FEAT! hehehehehehehehe

And there. Not so much my brain is empty as it is tired. Peace out, yo.
