it was the sound of a crescendo

sometimes, in the rush of Michael Jackson being batshit, I forget how much I genuinely like his music. Also, um, I like covers of Michael Jackson songs.

Cobra Starship covering "Billie Jean"? AWESOME. We all know how I feel about the FOB "Beat It." And I really like the Alien Ant Farm cover of "Smooth Criminal." Me First and the Gimme Gimmes doing "Ben" is fantastically funny.

anyway this post has no point. except maybe that you all should share awesome covers of michael jackson/jackson five songs with me. 'cause it'd be awesome.

yaaaaaaaay!

my time off request for comic con was approved! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

on the subject of names

Sadly, I do not have themed names for my stuff or else this would not be an issue.

My car's name is Rosencrantz. My iPod's name is Patrick ('cause it's full of my favorite songs. yes, I'm lame. No, I don't care.)

My computer still lacks a name. I was going to name it Pete to go along with the ipod, but I learned long ago not to name anything after people/characters that have Issues as my stuff will then adopt the issues. (Named a harddrive Thomasina, it caught on fire. Named my computer Septimus and it stopped recognizing peripherals. etc. My life is weird, you guys).

Anyway. I am waiting to be struck with inspiration for my computer. I think it's a girl, at least.

I am all rambly.

Also, it costs less to take a roundtrip train ride to SD than it does to fill up HALF A TANK OF GAS FOR MY CAR. I HATE YOU GWB.

comic con passes

for people who are going to san diego comic con: you do have to buy your passes online, as they are apparently not selling any onsite.
