i didn’t pay any attention to saul’s tracklisting when i ordered the downloads…he covers “sunday bloody sunday” ha! nice surprise. i quite like it. better than daughtry…better than POD too. sepultura’s cover is fantastic.

speaking of daughtry i feel like the casino has become the home for american idol’s. i swear that every winner or runner up or anyone who went on to do something after the show has been to the casino this year…kelly clarkston was there last week, next is daughtry…the one country girl was here i think, and taylor hicks.

i feel like a crack addict, so itchy!

econoline’s got new tracks up on myspace….”dirty” and a new version of “you don’t know what it’s like”…dirty is interesting, and the remix is pretty kickin….

dream

\ by

very strange dream about being at a u2 show…or possibly a sound check situation, i’m not sure…but i was behind the stage with cassie and someone else and at one point during the show larry froze and sorta started having a seizure. apparently this wasn’t the first time. we tried to help him, the rest of the band just sorta stood there until he was ok to play again. the show continued, but then the same thing happened towards the end of the show.

also some dream about going to some abandoned thing in mercer pa, which also turned out to be a hang out for the delinquent kids in town. when i was leaving all these other kids had shown up and this black kid who sorta looked like saul said he was going to cut me. all i said was “no” but he did, huge cut on my leg, i freaked out and since i had no idea where anything was in mercer (aside from the high school ha) i didn’t know how to get to a hospital. 2 guys showed up who apparently owned this abandoned place, saw what happened, and were nice enough to take me to the ER.

an update on my phone. cingular phones sending me txt messages still go to the old phone. but if you send me a picture message, it’ll go to the new phone. when will this end!?!?!?!

this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/senior_carded is one of the most emailed stories on yahoo today. that is not news. not even in the “odd news” category. why? because it happens all the time. a guy in front of me in line at wegmans who couldn’t be younger than 75 got carded to buy beer. he didn’t have any ID and the girl said he had to show ID to buy the beer. he was pretty shocked and dumbfounded, because seriously, he’s 75. but she was following store policy (and holding up the express line), and had to call her manager over to get approval to sell the 75 year old beer. i really felt like buying the beer for the guy to just make the line move along. but seriously. not news.

and in this short article: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2007/10/trent_reznor_and_saul_williams.html (much shorter than rob sheridan’s pretty interesting rant on future of the industry) trent and saul talk about the internet release, music sharing, record lables and what they paid for radiohead’s “in rainbows”…i don’t know if it’s serious or not (i’d sincerely hope the $5000 is a joke and i think it is)…but the thought of trent listening to radiohead makes me want to stab myself. ha.

Puscifer

so..puscifer. eh. the packaging is amusing. it’s alright. i’ll even say it’s better than the last tool album. but it’s not really what i was expecting – since i was expecting alot of kick ass stuff like The Undertaker (which, the version on the album is not the same as the sound track version – which i think is the renholder remix, and gee, surprise, something danny lohner remixed turned out awesome ha). it doesn’t really show off maynard’s voice, it’s mostly…”low talking”, and not really singing. and his voice is the reason i like him. there is a whole song which is a sermon hahah. good old maynard. it’s interesting. it’s fairly short. i’ll give it a few more listens, but it’s not a “desert island” album.

i’m going to try to toilet train kitty with Citi Kitti hahah. hey it might be a waste of money or it might work and be absolutely fantastic. we shall see.

also, driving down elmwood today i saw THE BEST christmas present for ppl today…or well, really for the 1 person i still buy for. hey so adrienne, hahaha don’t go down elmwood and buy yourself anything when you’re home in dec :). i’m buying one for phill too, tho we don’t do the gift thing, just because it’s so freaking great. they were closed at the time, so i gotta go down tomorrow afternoon and grab 3 (one for myself of course). eric – you might like it too. i’ll tell you on IM or something hehehehe

there is someone who wants to take me to vegas for the superbowl in february. and he doesn’t seem to be kidding. while it would be great to get a free trip to see adr, why would i want to go to the superbowl with a bunch of 50some year old men? hahahahahahah

i had been waiting for the release of maynard james keenan’s tool/apc side project Puscifier for ages now. it comes out tuesday, i just remembered. but i am finding myself much more excited now for the new saul williams “niggy tardust” album. wow that name. i hate it. but the music should be interesting. as soon as trent posted about its internet only release for $5 i “preordered”. the album arrives for download on thursday.

my weekend was spent doing absolutely nothing. no lie. i slept in and had no desire to get out of bed either day. then just sat here until work. saturday morning after work was the last day with any pills, making today the first full day with 0 in my system. it actually went pretty well. we’ll see about the next few days. overall i think this withdrawal period was much better than the last time i attempted this – close to 3 years ago. there is a difference in my sleep, but it’s not as bad as last time. i’m getting some nightmares that i can’t wake myself out of which sorta suck…it’s taking ages to fall asleep again. i’m waking up alot and moving around alot. but at least i’m not waking up because i think i’m falling and terrified that someone is in the room and going to kill me, not waking up every hour on the hour, and being unable to sleep past 8am. the immediate few days after dropping the dosages i would physically feel like crap. not headaches so much as abdomen discomfort. not stomach aches, no digestive issues, just…general unwellness. i am dizzy alot, and get this weird feeling like my brain/soul is moving inside me when i am not. i am also hungry CONSTANTLY. i don’t remember that last time. in fact, last time i remember hardly being able to eat because i was nauseated all the time. now that i’m at 0 dosage i’m hoping this last bout of withdrawal is short, and that i start feeling better. the reason i started taking it again after the last attempt is because after almost 2 months with out any of the drug i was still feeling absolutely horrible all the time. this time, i don’t have any left to start taking them again, and at this point if my headaches don’t come roaring back i see no reason to go back to the dr to get more (or to get a different drug for my headaches). maybe i’ve finally “grown out of it”. only took 27 years 😛

and unfortunately i’ve had to turn the heat on. it was 57 in here when i got home tonight. arg. i finally get my hair cut tomorrow, as long as my hair lady’s daughter doesn’t go into labor. please just hold on 9 more hours!! haha.

an amusing feature on sabres.com this year is Game Playlists…they offer you to buy through itunes the songs that are played at the arena during the game, including songs that were picked by a certain player each game. it’s interesting to see what the various players like (they have sucky taste for the most part haha) and choose to be played. so far the best playlist has been ryan miller’s. nirvana, incubus, social distortion, the verve which he picked, then the other game songs were audioslave, soundgarden and finger eleven…not their usual fodder.

and speaking of games. i may have to work halloween now, if work didn’t give me off friday for the game…no big deal, it doesn’t appear that i’ll be doing anything on halloween anyway sadly.

kate is sick so can’t go to tori amos tonight. that means i don’t have to go now hah. sorry to her fans, but i’m excited about not going. 🙂 i also got my phone today so now i get to play with it, and watch the game. woo.

econoline

found an article from the summer on econoline crush reforming. this quote made me excited (as if i wasn’t already excited) Trevor: “And in this scenario, its very much along the lines of songs like ‘Home’ and ‘Sparkle & Shine’ and very basic industrial rock kind of stuff. It’s not foreign to the Econoline Crush fan. It’s what we’re known for, melody over riffs.” and then this just made me laugh because it’s the same thing I always say when people bring up Econoline Crush’s rotating line up. Trevor: “Econoline Crush, in my opinion, is a musical project. It’s never been much of a band because we’ve always had so many different people come and go all the time that it’s just a concept. It’s the idea of putting riffs and strong, rock guitar-driven melodies with a vocal melody that almost contradicts it, that’s almost cutting across the grain, like smooth, melodic vocal over top of searing guitars. It’s not really hard to do if you don’t lose the plot. “I think maybe in the past we’ve kind of missed the plot when we’ve started writing and I just think I’ve always been the driving force of Econoline. People come and go from Nine Inch Nails all the time, but it’s always going to be Nine Inch Nails. Same deal.”

i think i’m going to go back to carl’s and have the guy who did my halo 14 tattoo add to it. i’ve been strugling to come up with something that would include the line “left with all that was and all that could have been” in a separate tat. so i’m going to have him do something up to add. my only concern is having retard nin fans go on about how “and all that could have been” isn’t halo 14. it’s also not the exact lyric from either “the great below” or “and all that could have been” so 😛

after such a shit day at work yesterday i left today after 3 hours. watching shows on big foot hunters, i remembered that adr2 thought she saw big foot on our way to philly for the 2 club shows in 05. ha.

elijah wood’s character kevin in Sin City looks a whole lot like harry potter. ha.

so ages ago, carolyn and i had a blog of our own funny quotes. been reading them and found this one
sara: capital G for emphasis on god
sara: lol
TRENT STOLE THE SONG TITLE FROM ME! hahahahahahhahahah

mandy lynn, a girl on vh1’s show america’s most smartest model, is also in the new quest “dating” phone line commercials hahahah…hahah.ha.

withdrawal has been better. thurs and fri nights, for sure, had no withdrawal symptoms… no headaches, no vague body discomfort. i have big time sleeping disturbances, but it’s still tolerable at this point. so i lowered dosage again to 25 mg until i run out of pills (about another week). it’s been better this time than last time.

i’m switching phone services from at&t to verizon through letstalk.com. they had a better deal on the phone – lg black cherry chocolate – but i’m nervous. i have no idea about porting numbers, and if/when my current number on my current phone will stop working. i have to wait for the phone to arrive by mail of course, should be tuesday or wednesday. i warned my mom if my number doesn’t work to not panic haha. i got a stupid more expensive plan tho, that includes unlimited txt/pics/video to any carrier. i still don’t understand how adr2 gets all this extra shit on her plan for under 50$ lol. i really wanted the $29.99 65 years old plan, but stupid age requirements. not fair.

i really have nothing to say. 🙂
