“Dancing Shoes” - Arctic Monkeys
“Cosmic Girl” - Jamiroquai
“Modern Romance” - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
“Girls Want to Be with the Girls” - Talking Heads

I am both sad and angry right now. Those bastards killed Dr. Fraiser!
Who isn’t after @feliciaday? I mean, have you seen those Guild episodes in HD? The lips, the hair, the eyes…I can’t think straight.
I still think it’s wild that Dead Kennedys are available for Rock Band DLC! California Über Alles!
I’m with Mr. Byrne. “Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.”

Left 4 Dead is best played at nearly 3 AM for maximum intensity.
Spending Sunday with my good friend Stargate SG-1.
Home from a late holiday get-together with my father’s side of the family. Everyone looked so different, especially my uncles!
The accents and impressions are coming back, I think!
Thoroughly enjoyed Gervais’ Ghost Town with some friends.
Waiting for an HP technician to “chat” with me about my little litany of laptop problems.
Harold Pinter is dead. Oh, sure, Merry Christmas indeed.

Sorry to harsh your Christmas mellow, but our Nobel laureates are disappearing.
Attempting a full reformat and recovery on this old battle axe. We’ll see if this Christmas is merry or not.

21 Things
21) Though I primarily enjoy heavy metal and alternative rock, I still have this sugary, sensitive pop core that’s…well…kind of embarrassing. I mean, I’m a hardened cynic with a razor tongue, and here I am listening to Fall Out Boy, No Doubt, Tegan & Sara, Paramore, et cetera and LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT. 20) If you can sing any Rush song with me at least halfway...
Listening to vintage No Doubt. Gwen Stefani does this little warble thing occasionally that is oddly fascinating.
If my laptop continues its insolence, I will introduce it to a fine, upstanding hammer I know.
I should do something constructive this Christmas. Maybe I’ll take a cue from Dr. Daniel Jackson and finally ascend.

Well, yet again, I am ashamed of my country. I’m also appalled at the leaps and bounds in logic here. Legitimizing pedophilia? Really?
spintree:
An unprecedented declaration seeking to decriminalize homosexuality won the support of 66 countries in the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, but opponents criticized it as an attempt to legitimize pedophilia and other “deplorable...

REJOICE, MY CHILDREN!
cubicle17:
It’s about damn time:
In a stunning turn of events, the US music industry has ceased its long-time litigation strategy of suing individual P2P file-swappers. Instead, with New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo acting as a broker, the RIAA has signed voluntary “graduated response” agreements with major Internet service providers.
