The only positive I can find in any of this is that Zoology 242 might have finally given me that crotch kick required to get my bloody priorities straight. This silver lining better not bite me in the ass because I will defeat you Animal Physiology II, yours will not be the deathblow to the mighty champion that is I. Better courses have tried so do not get your hopes up.
Also why the fuck is my room so bloody cold? It's really developing to be a stellar evening.

I have officially decided that once I have amassed an obscene amount of money and (hopefully by then) when they have private excursions there I will travel to the moon. If I happen to die of old age while standing there looking down upon the earth (ooooh that would be fun and condescending!) or on the return trip back then so be it.

During the course of my usual non homework related internet surfing I came across this:
Le Link
Basically its a bunch of songs written using spam emails as lyrics. The comedic brilliance is well as funny as it is smartly...bright...? I don't know, click it and enjoy already.
(thats going to count as my humourous internet link for today as well)

Well that brings to a close this end of weeks and boy was it a something. aa Sound System was pretty keen, its just a shame that the group they were opening for (aka the actual group most were there to see) was quite the boring blandness. Oh well it was still a great night in a great venue (Oh why must the Sidetrack cafe close in a few weeks. The new location had better been better than awesome, or closer) with some amazing super sample appetizer platters so i really cant complain.
Saturday was bland minus some great pizza.
Sunday however with its concert of concerts was well fucking awesome. The Thurston Revival opened and i was thoroughly impressed. Very unique sound not to mention a blood key-tar so there was no way it could go wrong. The Stars themselves put on a wicked set of their own with some amazing stage prescence (makes all the difference, take note of that The Killers). My only moment of sadness was the lack of them playing Celebration Guns, my favourite of theirs by far, but hey beggars cant be choosers. Regardless them Crazy Frenchmen kicked out some great rocks with the odd roll and when in the Encore there was a Bananna Maracha busted out i nearly lost it. Great, great show that is definetly in the top of this years live musical experiences.
What really made the night had to be seeing the two guys from Thurston Revival outside after the show and, via my friend justin, getting free copies of their CD if we promised to send them some stuff in trade. The barter system is quite awesome folks. Only in Indie Rock could you find such laidback, cool guys.
Thats it for me, have a great one and heres hoping my midterm tomorrow goes well.

And so begins the much needed "Chris Weekend of Rocking Out...atude." Double A Sound System tonight, and then The Stars on sunday its going to be crazy awesome. On top of that I just found out that Franz Ferdinand is coming in April. Franz Fucking Ferdinand people! Barring the Secret Machines or Spoon I don't think there is an act I want to see more. So to sum it up, Epic.
Keep on rockin'

Heart in a Cage by The Strokes also happens to be a good song
Did you know that the concept of people believing the earth was flat is a historical myth? Always a shocking event when you actually learn something at university regardless of how pointless that knowledge may be.
Just thought I would share that. Carry on.
