So, I had an entire post typed, and Firefox ATE IT.

+ I'm still LOLing over the fact that in this listing of critics' pics for 2008, Panic At The Disco are sandwiched between Metallica and Nickelback.

( no, really, I *swear* )

+ Somehow, I have become de-acclimated to working in a cold room all day. I don't know how I managed to spend days working in one as a grad student, because after a half-hour now, my hands are red (red enough to see through latex gloves, even) and uncooperative to the point that I can't do fine pipette work or even snap-close my eppendorf tubes. I AM NOT AMUSED. I have an entire series of experiments that requires extended cold room time. >:?

+ In my final complaint (perhaps, depending on how bitchy I'm feeling later), I have to ask: DO DRIVERS IN HOUSTON NOT LEARN HOW TO NEGOTIATE FOUR WAY STOPS? Seriously, is it taught here that a rolling stop into such an intersection suffices, and it doesn't matter if someone (or multiple someones) already present has the right-of-way? That has happened to me FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. WTF, people?

+ Dear Buzz DJ's: Shut up about Papa Roach's "distinctive sound" already. They sound like every other hard rock band you play, with an extra dash of Motley Crue in their lyrics. I appreciate the way the new song and video skewer Paris Hilton and other tabloid trash, but it's not so awesome that you need to spend an hour talking about it and about how Jacobi is a Genuine Rock Star nowadays.

+ I am ready for the mutant death plague to be DONE. Of course, I'm really bad about doing anything other than taking ibuprofen and living through the coughing, shivering, and sniffling that it brings. It made the Steel Train show miserable - why does the Warehouse keep the temp so low? - and I was so tired and cold I didn't stay after to hang out with the band.

(Also? There were, like, maybe 60 people there. I realize that lots of folks were probably over at Verizon seeing Kings of Leon, but still. Pitiful.)

+ I am sooooo excited to see the next episode of Criminal Minds. (REID!) This week's... not so much. I thought that the writers went to great effort in exposition for things that were pretty fucking obvious.

+ I am not going to flail about Northern Downpour. Except that I am: Jon playing air-piano! Spencer slapping bumperstickers on cars! Them all being sneaky together! <3333

+ Oh, Bob. :D

+ Where are the links to the Bounce video? Is it online yet?

Projekt Revolution's last US date.

JFC, it's hot. Sun, plz set soon. Chester (Bennington) singing w/ Ashes Divide added to the hot.

Happy (or Unhappy, as the case may be) Death and Taxes Day.



( I should be happy that The Chief wants me to go to this meeting, right? But I'm not. )

ETA: ALSO. ACL's lineup is up, and it has induced hardcore flailing.

The Dresden Dolls are in town 30May. The same night as the Old 97s.

If someone could get right on cloning me, so I could go to both? That'd be lovely.



Also, I freezer-burned the palm of my hand on the liquid N₂ tank. *whimper*

Well, no. Nobody said it wouldn't hurt. Because a bunch of needles? Eventually will hurt, just a little, if only because the skin gets tender after repeated application.

But I forgot how much excess ink bleeds the first couple of days after a tattoo is applied.

I maybe shouldn't have had it done the same day I had my teeth ground and the next big change in the braces made. Because I am cranky when I'm feeling a lot of low-grade aches.
