Yurkos song of the day: Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 - by Pink Floyd

"Hey, don't knock crazy. The Romans were crazy, and they got all the girls."

Yay! New post, quite possible not a yay from you folks but it beats doing ones prelabs so its a yay for I. Granted i just realised as i began this that i pretty much have a near deficit of things to talk about so be prepared for another short, pointless and most probably boring post. Good song today, an old classic, great quote today cause well it makes me chuckle and in the long run isnt that all that matters? Hmm well in the very long run it matters for nothing at all but right now my "long run" consists of the next hour or so. Wow not making any sense and im not even a paragraph in... oh wait now i am.

Midterms are half done, which deserves a hearty something or other. Bio went pretty well, considering i got a 88.9% on it, its no 100% mind you but it will do :P Gah youve gotta love the irony on chem though. Blasted midterm was utter crap, considering that there was much more theory on the damn thing than she said there would be not to mention the nice happy questions that expect you to remeber an example that took 5min at the start of the class a month and a half ago. Damn that test and its inherent crapitude, ah well life goes... to an organic chem midterm. Frickin university, it never ends for gods sake! That wasn't the worst part of the week though, for that happy prize is definetly reserved for English. Oh what fun it is to get back your first formal essay to be happily greeted by a sea of red marks and a nice uplifting C. What makes it worse is that i dont even have the satisfaction of being able to bitch at the prof. cause i do agree with his comments. Stupid constructive critcism, ruins all the fun. BTW jackie im fully aware of my lack of punctuation skills, that statement was more of an inside joke between neil and I cause after your english prof says "your punctuation seems hapazard" i think i get the message (of course the fact that minus the period most of my punctuation is pretty much random has nothing to do with it at all). I'd still love a good reason why a pre-med student has to be able to write an english essay let alone analyse 17th century poetry considering all the writing skills needed in science are taught to us via formal labs.

Oh man, last nights halloween dance was probably one of the most boring experiences ever. Due mostly to the fact that i cant really dance so i just looked like a total loser (and i wasnt drunk enough to ignore that fact, frickin vodka jellow shooters having no effect at all (bloody lack of my own alcohol)). Man i miss the days of the techno-riverdance infused stupidity cause at least there it was a group of us acting dumb and hey it was funny/fun so it worked out. Oh well at least the appearant tradition of females competing to have the sluttiest halloween costume held up, made for something good to look at (hides from ensuing beating by all the female readers). Im not sexist, i can just appreciate a good view. Lets move on shall we?

Seeing as how im out of anything else to say, that or forgotten or probably both i might as well comment on some comments. Nothing to say on any of Neil's stuff, so lets skip to Mr. Keith who has appearantly decided to comment on every second post. Less energy wasted so i applaud you sir. Anywho fair enough, i was flawed in saying there hasnt been a good simpsons in 10 years, 4 possibly 5 years would be a better estimate. Of course when i say nothing good im talking more on the general feeling of a season, because there is always the odd good one here and there. Last two seasons though its felt more like a sheer fluke but thats beside the point. I am fully aware of the various stinkers in the futurama run (The Leela blurnsball episode comes immideatly to mind) but it just appeared to me that during the shows 5 year run there seemed to be far more hits than misses compared to the recent seasons of the simpsons. Yes the recent episodes have had a memorable line or two ("looks like your missing a puzzle piece." "looks like your missing a wife") yet it just doesnt seem to have the same quality behind it anymore. A good indicator of that is when a show starts taking various plotlines thats its built up for a good few years (barney becoming sober, principle skinner etc) and either forgetting about them complely for the sake of one rather bad joke or using one bad episode to just toss it all in the garbage can. Regardless i tire of this topic, and i should get back to work so i shall move on.
As for your Metallica analogy Keith it has never been about whether or not they have good lyrical skills etc that prevents me from liking them its just there overall sound. I am sure if i actually was able to listen to a song i would see your point but well i just cant stand how they sound (personal preference and all that) thus preventing me from appreciating these "subtle lyrics." That being said i probably would still scoff and ridicule just cause its what i do plus its always good fun :P (haha crap out a great big sea, i love it!). I do see the point you were getting at though Keith, considering alot of what i enjoy about Futurama does require more viewage/enjoyment than what can be gathered from just casual viewing. Finally yes there be a rather nice shot of ze swedish chef on the poster, in fact he is pretty much right in the centre of the entire group. Im personally pleased at the fact that it has Dr. Teeth on it, who is in my opinion the best Muppet charachter ever created. Its a shame he was voiced by Jim Henson and so that in all the movies/shows made after his death he was reduced to background filler that never talked. Siggghh ah well life goes on.

Till Next Ramble

The Amazing, Boring Yurko
