You no doubt heard about this by now.
This all started at 7pm last night. We first heard of it a little after 7, Which brings me to the title of this post. The two most annoying words in the english language are Breaking and News. You’ve all seen it in the movies, something big happens so the news station breaks into the current program and tells you what the big news is. I was kind of excited when I saw this. It’s not something that I’ve ever seen happen on Irish TV.
The thing they don’t show you in Movies though is that they keep interrupting what ever it is you are watching. In our case it was an incredibly gripping episode of 24. One thing we noticed while all this was going on was that they wouldn’t interrupt the ads. In fact there was one case where the sound dropped out and it looked like they were going to cut away to the news room but then the sound came back. Then 24 went to an ad. Not a minute after 24 was back Bob was back on the air (did I mention Bob was the anchor? I hate Bob).
We contemplated switching over to another channel and watching the rest of 24 later but a quick look showed that they were all breaking the news as well.
That was my first encounter with breaking news. And I hated it (I still hate Bob more).

I pretty much decided to get a kit over the holidays some of you were there when I made the decision but I didn’t actually vocalise it.
About 5 days after my return I went to the music shop called Guitar Center to purchase the kit. I had seen it online and my mind was made up. If you’ve ever been to an american guitar shop then you know what this place looked like. If you haven’t, well I plan on going back and I’m going to take some pictures when I do because I can’t describe it’s awesomeness.
Back to the story at hand. They didn’t have the kit I wanted in stock but they did have a demo kit. This was the one I posted pictures of earlier today. Michell the Store Guy said I could take that one and they would give me a call when the new one came in. I said awesome brought it home and started to play.
A few days later I hadn’t recieved the call. I called them, they told me they were in stock and today I collected and put together my new drums. I took pictures but the settings are a bit messed up. I will take more and post them tomorrow.
I’m glad I went home for the getting music alone.
If you really want to fuck with your head listen to Electric Six and then listen to Esbjörn Svensson Trio. The change from one to the other is dangerous and shouldn’t be performed by pregnant people.
Drum Pics and update coming soon.
I just saw the movie Four Brothers. It’s fantastic. It’s got the greatest car chase in a movie ever. Two car’s chasing with rear wheel drive on really slippy snow, so they’re not going fast and hitting lots of cars along the way. It also had a couple of really good shoot outs.
I recommend that you watch it. It’s awesome.
The apartment has a very large space in it. There have been many suggestions on what the space should be filled with. Here’s a picture of it.
Hit the jump to see what the space was filled with.

After a long hiatus in which I was mostly staring at my Belly ButtonTM I’ve decided to return to internet land.
So far this blog has mostly been a one way discussion. This is step one of my New Earth Sociopolitical SystemTM (other changes include an increased and annoying use of the TMtm symbol.
In order to converse in the second direction you, the reader, must leave comments on blog posts. I shall now explain how this is done. Underneath this post before the start of the next one you will find the following text Posted in Various | No Comments ». You will notice that “Various” is a link and so is “No Comments” (if I am succesful here today this might say x comments where x is a number). Clicking on this second link will take you to a page which contains the current post, comments if there are any and underneath the comments you will find the comment submission form with the heading “Leave a reply” above it. Filling out this comment submission form is very easy.
The first task is type in your name. You can use your actual name which was given to you by your parents however this is frowned upon. Alternatively the reader must use they’re super cool Hacker name (eg. Blaze Overdrive) to identify themselves. Doing so in this post will allow that user to earn 1 CoolPointTM (CoolPoint’sTM are offered as part of the CoolPoint Initiative®, which is one of the 36 initiatives that partly form the New Earth Sociopolitical SystemTM (The NESS)).
The second step is to enter your Electronic Mail address into the box. This is required so as to prevent the Heinous Extra Planetary Robots from attempting to poison our brains with their Neuro Hacking Spam.
Finally if you have a website enter the full URL of it into the box (include the http:// bit).
Once this is done you can participate in the intertube dialog by typing in the big box and clicking the submit comment button.
By Submitting comments it is possible to earn further CoolPoints which will be a good thing in the coming Hotter Future but in a one time only offer anyone who submits a comment to this post will get themselves a CP. So do it. Now.
Update: Not one comment. You know what that means? The first person to comment is going to get a CoolPointTM.
Recently I was commuting the 5 blocks to work when I encountered this homeless guy. He was dressed in a jump suit with many layers of clothes underneath. You could also tell by the smell this guy was homeless. He smelled bad. Kind of like an unwashed sock wrapped in a bag of urine based fertilizer.
He initiated the conversation in a very interesting manner. By asking me if I had a quarter for a load of shrapnel he had. He then informed me of his plans for the day which involved going to a cinema that had very cheap admission prices and going to the dollar store to get some supplies to fix his coat.
We then got onto the subject of how Homeless Guy planned to make his millions. It involved replacing the entire power supply for Las Vegas with his own company and involved black magnetic sand. Unfortunatly after this revelation I had to exit the TRAX as I had reached my stop but I would have gladly stayed on to talk to him some more as he was a very entertaining fellow.
