So my alarm went off for school today, and I got up and got dressed, ate breakfast, and then opened the front door.... the street was covered in snow... I felt dumb, but hey, I slepped in :).

I'm having a good snowday. I had my sterio set to wake me up to the sounds of Amon Amarth's Victorious march.

I'm having an ok snow day. It's boring but I'm listening to good music extremely loud and playing guitar extremely loud along

NP: Black Sheep - SA

I'm about to go start drinking, so my mediocre snow day is going to get better. Right now I'm writing a college essay about the Who.

I have to shovel some old guy's driveway. He's paying me, but I'm still not in the best of moods.

At least I got a day off, which I plan to spen the rest of learning an Arch Enemy song.

Drinking - sounds good
Shoveling- sounds bad
Essay about the Who- not too bad

My wake-up call is In Flames' cover of Land of Confusion by Genesis :thumb:.

I need more In Flames. I've only got one of their songs, any album recommendations?

[QUOTE=Superpeer]Well, stories are good, yeah. But even if the author didn't intend something, why wouldn't you be allowed to see it? It's like a painting, the painter makes it, but a lot of people see different things in it. Why not interpret things differently in novels?

That's the beauty of art, my man. :p[/QUOTE]

It my eyes, it stops being art when it crosses into the realm of the pretentious. Yes, some films are inherently artistic. And people can get different messages from them. But when people start inserting very contrived meanings into a piece of art, it's just ridiculous.

Almost as bad is when people reference the meanings in art which should be clear as if they are privy to some sort of arcane information.

"I don't know about you, but when I read 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker, I noticed a dramatic, yet subtle tapestry of sexual overtones in the prose."

"No shi[size=2]i[/size]t, really?" :rolleyes:

There's a difference between art and unadulterated pretense.

My wake up call is just the annoying alarm

uur-ur--urr-uur!!

after that it's some metal most of the time \m/

Same here. I normally sleep through it though and in the end it wakes up my parents who come and get me up.

[QUOTE=Joe]True. I think its one of those cases we're talking about where there is that depth in it, but there are some songs/books/paintings where it seems the meanings are forced. The user title is about suicide, but writtin because of the theft. It's not necessarily supposed to be anything else but the feeling of suicide. I just disagree with literary scholars that seem to force a lot of ideas into books that weren't necessarily supposed to be there, but for all I know maybe they were supposed to be there. Maybe William Golding meant for Piggy's death to be the death and collapse of society, who knows.[/QUOTE]

Personally, I find it very credible. Piggy was a fat kid, he was different, the "normal" ones bullied him around until it killed him. I don't think that's that far fetched.


I'm gonna drink gin at the christmas market, I'll be back later, if I'm sober enough. I'd love to do some more literature talk then. :p (Hence the half-as[COLOR="White"]s[/COLOR]ed response)

yeh he sent me a load more songs :)

woo i'm going out for dinner tonight, seeing as my sort-of g/f has stopped communicating with me (she basically hung up on me last time i rang her) she can go screw herself. she was meant to be coming to this meal tonight with all the people from the pub, but seeing as who was going to go with me instead is ill i'm gonna have to take my sister ( :angry: ) and i don't really get on with her. but, seeing as the meal's all paid for, i'm not wasting the money.

anyway, this is the first time i've been on mx for more than 30 seconds without it screwing up and crashing, which is quite nice.

mmm...gin. you have a christmas market? we don't get anything like that in my village, only the shops staying open 'til 10 instead of 5 for one night.

I agree now that you mention it, it's a pretty credible one.

Where the hell is Med! I have to tell him about the essay I need to write about my IR class for part of the final grade and how hilarious the topic is.

Is his computer still broken, or what? :(

I don't know, is his computer still broken? What's the topic?

i didn't know Med's computer was broken :confused:

You have to click free download then go to the bottom and click download or summat. It don't work for me. It always says I'm already d/ling something.

It says that first thing, under the checklist, then there is this:

[QUOTE=stupid rapidshare]You have requested the file Reckoning_Night.zip (53254484 Bytes). This file has been downloaded 18 times already.
IMPORTANT: Download-accelerators are only supported with a PREMIUM-Account!

How do I find out what I'm downloading? I'm not downloading anything. And if I can't chose where the file goes, where is it?

i can't get reckoning night either :( i'll edit in what it says

EDIT: it worked that time. it made me write BOV in the box for some reason, before i clicked download.

[QUOTE=Josh]i can't get reckoning night either :([/QUOTE]

I can't get Tommy by the Who either because that was sent out on Rapidshare, along with the Hammerfall sent out on the last mailing list

Nope, I get that too. You can't download from it.

Exactly, which is why I stand by my statement:

Reckoning Night has nearly finished for me now. :p

I concur.
Who can actually download from it here?

EDIT: To Joe.

I can't. I'll try again

I GOT IT! It still awful. I've tried RapidShare 100 times and this is the first time I've gotten it to work.

i usually can but it will give me that message on occasion. it's a bad system but people use it because there's no download or time limit like yousendit.
