These kids have a rare blood disease: "Stickittodamanniosis"

[Dave de Sylvia]

You don't remember right: O- is universal, O+ isn't.

[Jom]

Good, so I'm not crazy. SOP ftw. And Twist too, really.

Considering both my parents work in hospitals, you would think something from their everyday conversations would have stuck with me growing up, heh.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Ha, well I remember that factoid from biology class 4 years ago but I don't even know my own blood type. How about that?

[Killtacular]

The Red Cross told me mine. Good times.

[DesolationRow]

I can't donate blood. My phobia of ugly people holding seringes is too great.

[Liberi Fatali]

The blood donation people over here say that every donation can save 3 lives. Whilst you are allowed to give blood once every 3 months.

So if you did it once every 3 months, for your entire lifetime. You could be saving in excess of 800 lives. Thats superman like stats. :cool:

[morrissey]

Oh man these past few days have been craaaaaaaazy. Not crazy exciting or enjoyable, just busy busy busy. I was helping my aunt with an exhibition/convention thing she runs, and I was literally working everyday from 5am to midnight from friday-sunday. I had a whole bunch of different crap to do but the absolute worst was manning the cash on Saturday (by and large the busiest day for conventions) and there were two different expos in the convention centre. One was ours, the other one (across the hall) was an art expo. Anyway, there is very clear signage with our company name, logo etc displayed everywhere, and same for them. We had signs everywhere saying "this is for ____ Expo ONLY, no refunds". Every customer that came up we would ask them if they wanted tickets for our expo or the art expo. I kid you not we had well over 100 people, probably 200, who agreed that they were looking for tickets for our Expo, they paid our admission, and came back 3 minutes later saying they bought the wrong tickets. By the second refund I was ready to slap those people. I am not cut out for customer service. :upset:

Anyway I am back to real life now, enough of that "dealing with people" garbage. I'll take the school books for as long as I need to, heh.

And I noticed we have a new subforum tailored just for me. :D

Dear Russian Satellite Diary,

I had mean as farts tonight, the sort that constantly come out and smell quite foul. The sort that lingers in the air.

Lately I've been getting into writing again, after a dry patch. I finally finished off one of my old reviews, Cyclone by Tangerine Dream. Whilst at school I've been doing tons too, mostly in English and Media.

I never consider myself a soppy romantic, but lately I've been falling for this girl. She is a fairly strict sort, but the more I talk to her, the more I want to talk to her. If you get what I mean. She is quite a looka too, and I'm fairly certain she digs me. The only problem is I'm a wimp at making the first move. :-\

What else? Musically I'm finding lots to enjoy. School is enjoyable. Family are cool atm.

LOVE http://messenger.msn.com/MMM2005-10-25_17.33/Resource/emoticons/rose.gifhttp://messenger.msn.com/MMM2005-10-25_17.33/Resource/emoticons/kiss.gif**/*\**~!

[morrissey]

I'm going to try one of these cute little music logs. Mind my lack of creativity.


Twas a busy week, but despite it I still managed to listen to far more music than most people. I have tried no less than ten times to listen to my complete Ryan Adams discography in one sitting, this time was a noble effort with only one record going unplayed. As such, Ryan Adams tops my list for the week. Supergrass was up next, and while I listened to 57 songs, many for only the second or third time, they left no notable impression on me. Talking Heads clocked in at a respectable number of rotations - I've been getting back into them recently and I'm saddened at my previous lack of Talking Heads love. Elvis Costello garnered a worthy number of rotations, thanks to preparations for a review of This Year's Model. T and S artists filled out the remainder of my top 10, and it must have happened while I was out because I remember nary a Taking Back Sunday song being heard by me.

And that was the week that was, and that's the way it is.

No, they're an ex-punk/hardcore band, now a poppy post-hardcore goth-ish band. I'm reviewing Sing the Sorrow right now, and I'll expect you all to buy it soon afterward.

No, ATASF is the worst album. Sing The Sorrow is the best, closely followed by Very Proud of Ya, Art of Drowning and Black Sails. :cool:

Harsh words? Give me a break. I'm not the one that banned him, but rules are rules. If a compromise can't be made, then so be it. It doesn't faze me either way, but as Med said, it's a silly idea [that ended] in a suitably sad conclusion.

Hey Dave, I did a write-up in the rock and metal mourning thread about Joe Strummer. Thought you might be interested.

[DesolationRow]

Definitely ATASF is their best. Geoff Kresge was still with the band. Hunter is t3h sux0rz. Sing the Sorrow is good, but Black Sails and ATASF are their best.

House wasn't on (but new ones start next week). I fell asleep minutes before Boston Legal started, but if I remember the preview correctly it was just Shirley doing some case with her ex Ivan (played by Tom Selleck) and Paul dealing with his druggie daughter's daughter. I don't think we missed much in terms of the running plots.

[pulseczar]

Hey sluts, I got home early from school today because of a huge stomach ache. It was probably caused by what I ate for breakfast, which was my dad's flaxseed, bran and soy cereal. I was pretty sure I was going to die, so I left you guys my pog collection.

[DesolationRow]

Pogs owned so hard when i was 5. Pokemon are the greatest fad, though.

Not to insult anyone, but recently I get the feeling that MX is crowded over and over with morons. I concentrate to much on the Sputnik-related forums here I guess, so that this fact seems to have completely passed me.

I wander into the other forums like 'Other' and the Bass Forums and R&M, but Sputnik is the only forum i post in A LOT.

It's okay, there are users who are still holding grudges with me before I was even a mod anywhere and think they're super-secretive about it.

And then I realize, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

Oh, idiots. What a boring place the Internet would be without you.

You guys want a good laugh? Check out the fifteen year old girl in L&R who "accidentally" slept with her boyfriend's best mate for the... third time in a row? It's some pretty awful number.

I sold about 10 CD's today at a vintage store (actually named Vintage Stock), and I got $50 store credit.

Man, if i actually feel like wanting to be clean, consider the consequences of apocalyptic doom.

[Amit]

what happened to my avatar -*-

[Jom]

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

For example: one evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.

Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said "What?! What did you say?"

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear: "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, unnamed store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all, dear, let's go to the cashier."

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled "WHAT?!"

I then said "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either...

... but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her.

We all like to whore local music, and our favourite artists/bands.

So I'd like to introduce you all to a local Kiwi artist by the name of Rhian Sheehan. His music is mostly ambient-electronic, and he is third on my last.fm top artists list, with 684 plays.

I used to just think of the internet, and people like a video game, but then I realized that the people who make these comments are actually real.

[Killtacular]

No I'm not.

[DesolationRow]

I was just screwing around on wikipedia, and I ran across this little white girl duo group called Prussian Blue. It's actually pretty scary, because at first look, it just looks like two 13 year old blonde girls who sing folk songs, but they're actually a white supremist Neo Nazi group. It's pretty freaky, to tell you the truth. Their name is derived from a chemical residue found in Birkenau's gas chambers that was the evidence used to support the use of Zyklon B to kill the Jews during the Holocaust.

Anyone else a little weirded out?

[Jawaharal]

I watched the ring again and finished reading all the books, and I have to say, the books are much more intelligent and more interesting than the movie, though maybe not as scary.

I also thought it was incredibly lame how Sadako couldn't just move the hair out of her face. How could she see through it?

[EightMilesHigh]

When I move all my hair (which is quite a bit) to the front of my face, I can still see it.

Today was my last day of spring break. I woke up early due to bad sleeping issues, and decided to go downtown. I went downtown and had breakfast (muffin and iced tea) and proceeded to wander around downtown for two hours or so. I found a cool little cd store, which I had fun wandering around for an hour or so. I ended up purchasing Los Angeles by X and Rufus Wainwright by Rufus Wainwright.

I then wandered further to a comic book store, in which I had a delightful discussion about Spiderman with proprietor of said shop. I found there the Sin City graphic novels for which I had been searching; unfortunately, it was more than I was looking to spend at the time.

I then visited my mother for her lunch break, where we had a nice chat. I then went to a thrift store where I found a t-shirt that had a picture of a character throwing a video game controller at a tv screen, which I purchased.

I then returned home, stopping on the way to get my glasses fixed at Lenscrafters. All in all, a very fun day. And now I'm sitting here relaxing to the sounds of the Manic Street Preachers 1994 classic The Holy Bible.

Legal free download released by the band themselves, but you can also purchase it through the band if you are so inclined (again, it's that whole sense-of-humor thing).

It's not available through iTunes, though.

They're such a solid, fun band. So many people look past them because of "Smooth Criminal," but their first two albums were excellent. "Death Day," "Courage," "Movies," "Glow," "Goodbye," "Hope," and "Dark In Here" are all fantastic tracks from those albums (the last one is from the video game for The Punisher).

s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0NVK9Q3OOO4411U4NAAB5BWS75

This is a link to one of my favorite live performances by them - it's "Glow" from their second album... you can still see the scars in Dryden's head from where he had his halo screwed in. But the best part is that they're absolutely spot-on throughout the entire show, and Tye's bass is awesome (both in looks and in playing). It's from the Sharon Osbourne show, but whatever. The performance is solid.

Hi guys.

So these blurbs. I'm tempted to crank out 20. But I have just 10 album reviews with another coming by mid week. Is their a certain ratio Jeremy would like us to keep it to. I've thought of adding blurbs to accompany some of my album reviews. Such as the one I wrote for a Townshend album to accompany a full one I did for him, as well.

I've thought of "blurbing" the entire Los Lobos catalogue, as no albums have been reviewed from them yet. And perhaps never will be on sputnik. But that may give someone second thoughts to do a full one if anyone ever has a mind too.

So, what's the word on this? Anything we should or should not do so far as blurbs are concerned?

[Jom]

The only rule I personally have is that you participate. Go nuts writing blurbs instead of reviews - it doesn't matter to me at all - so long as you participate and make your experience with the site worthwhile.

The whole point of introducing blurbs was to get people who are pressed for time / lazy / not particularly skilled writers to still be involved and active with the site by giving them something to work with that's more comfortable for them.

EDIT: that's not to say that I discourage active reviewers to not write blurbs... sometimes, users who are unwilling to review an album may feel more comfortable with just a blurb, which is absolutely cool with me and likely the rest of the staff.

[pulseczar]

I only write blurbs for albums I know I'm never going to review, so I'm a bit picky on whetehr to go on a blurb spree or not.

I have yet to write a blurb.

All the albums i listen to a lot at the present have already been reviewed, or i'm going to submit reviews very shortly.

The only rule I personally have is that you participate. Go nuts writing blurbs instead of reviews - it doesn't matter to me at all - so long as you participate and make your experience with the site worthwhile.

The whole point of introducing blurbs was to get people who are pressed for time / lazy / not particularly skilled writers to still be involved and active with the site by giving them something to work with that's more comfortable for them.
Hmm. Getting lazy is what concerns me. I'm usually pressed for time, and after working all day and all the other crap I do I just want to post sometimes. I don't want to fall into a pit, here. I enjoy writing reviews, but I get some "too long" comments sometimes. Even though I think maybe just two or three have been, while the others have been pretty good reads.

I figured blurbs would be good practice for me to shorten my other stuff a little, though. Although none of my regular reviews contain gratuitous information and are tight, I would like them to be a bit more succinct.

I'll give it some thought. Perhaps 1.5 blurbs for every review would be good policy for me. So 2 reviews, three blurbs. So perhaps I'll do some blurbs to catch up and then get my little system going.

Thanks....

No no no too much math + thinking is going on here.

Just have fun, man.

Haha you are really overthinking this John. No one, and I mean no one cares how many blurbs, reviews, news items etc you submit. As long as you participate that is all that matters! Some people do a review a day, some people do a review a year. Everyone has different paces they write at, different amounts of free time etc. Just do whatever works for you and we all appreciate it whether you do 1 blurb every 10 minutes or write 1 review in your entire time on this site.

Haha I love the little humourous messages randomly placed through the site. This is what I get after searching an album that wasn't in the database:
You can add an album/band to the database in about 15.2 seconds with this form

mx has a ton of Easter eggs on the site. It's hilarious.

PS: holy crap a Moz review sighting :eek: :amaze:

I really love these blurbs. It takes about five-minutes to write one, and that way I can contribute to the site still.

p.s. I submitted it 3 years ahead of schedule

I'd post more in that thread, but people there don't really have big relationship problems :-P

Hey cool, I've taken over as the most hated mod in the pit. It really is quite enjoyable. More exciting than being a lurker mod.

Damn I'm not even included on this one. :(

[Liberi Fatali]

Yeah, you need to get back to banning the retards in there.

I love it how (with the exception of Tess) everybody I've banned lately voted for me.

Anyway, we've finally finished all the movie analysing in media studies. Hopefully we'll get onto making our own short films.

Don't you hate when you're wearing pajama pants and then you realize there's a rip in them right in the crotch area

damn I know I do

Personally, I find it to be a liberating feeling.

Nice. :cool:

The whole Arthur Case plot was pretty lame (I don't want to give anything away for people who haven't seen it yet), but the twist was great.

Spoilers Warning

That was such a poorly told story. Spike Lee is so sloppy. I can't stand how he think he's hot **** so he writes all of this New York City racism into his plotlines. He gets off on his own style and does whatever he wants with complete disregard to creating a cogent story. How about this: he shows one female in the group in the car at the end, however the girl is switched into the group of hostages, but in a later scene she is at work at digging the hole. So sloppy. The whole point of Denzel's drive is to create closure but he manages to take a deal and leave the war crime information with White, the character least likely to follow the lead (notice her take Case's blood money and also the mayor's almost bemused attention when he says "war crimes"). Totally anticlimactic and against the flow. However I guess it coincides with the rest of the movie being full of unnecessarily convoluted loose ends.

Hey moz, I heard you saying good stuff about The Inside Man, so I went to go see it today. I was pleasantly surprised, it was good, great plot twist.
I wanna see that :(

I just saw Clockwork Orange. What a crazy movie...
The movie was boring. The book is far better, as we intellectuals say.

However, I did like Kiefer in Phone Booth.[/quotew]
This reminds me of the time I saw Phone Booth and right at the end the ratty guy shows up and I'm like, I know that guy. So I cycle through who it could be in my mind and I'm like, no, it's not Kiefer. So I wait through the credits with my arms crossed and a pensive look on my face right through all the crap and the hookers and stuff and yeah, it was Kiefer.

I was listening to the La Bamba soundtrack yesterday. Awesome :cool:

Blurbs are lame, I'd rather write shortish 500-700 word reviews.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yes, me too.

[Neoteric]

Me three.

[morrissey]

I'm on the fence. I love reading other people's blurbs, but as for writing them (even though I've only done 2 so far) I feel like it if I was just a little less lazy I could turn them into full reviews. Maybe I will someday though. They can serve as rough guidelines which organise my thoughts for a future review. That mid-way interpretation works for me.

[morrissey]

New favourite review!

Brovo to all their albums their all awsome!
ecspicilly Travis Barker :p

[Damrod]

I have written one blurb so far, and have included the main points I gathered so far for it. A review I was planning for quite a while. I never really found the right angle to approach, or that I was really satisfied with. So I guess I will use em on albums I planned to review, but never really got to it.

[Dave de Sylvia]

That was a blurb, you idiot. Unless it was a review too. You idiot.
