It's pretty easy. Or you could use this to say something, I don't bite unless asked to.




Things tagged with lists

If I had patience, time, money I’d love to have a blog about these subjects:

  • Food.
    I love food and food talk.
  • Comics.
    I used to have one of these actually. It was great and I’d really like to have one again in the future.
  • Movies / TV-shows.
    Not wanting to be spoiled is a big deal of why not.
  • Books.
    I should read more.
  • People I like on the Internets.
    My mind is not made to be a full-time creep. 
  • Socks.
    Wait! I got one of those already! (Kind of hibernating but still.)

Instruments I’d like to own, a list.

  • Mandolin
  • Bouzouki
  • A new guitar
  • Banjo
  • Upright piano
  • Violin
  • Resonator ukulele
  • Resonator anything stringed really.

To be able to play them would be a plus but not really needed… I can pretend. I think I’d like the bouzouki the most because no-one else has one (except Lu Edmonds but then again, I don’t know him so…).

Best Music Year lists are just as mixtapes: they need to play well. And really, it has nothing to do with release dates.

Aw fuck it. Three posts in and the I-like-tumblelog-format bores me to death.

Things I don’t get week 40-something.

  • Pummelvision.
    It takes images and makes a fast and pretty boring slideshow set to music that’s not exactly different from ambient muzak. Sure, it’s automatic and all that but come on. Demomakers from the very early 1990s was more complex than that. Have we come no further? Or am I just old? (It can be both.) I just don’t see the gosh-wow-ness. At all.
  • People who don’t like cookies.
    Self-explanatory I think. 

Other than that I get everything.

Gravity, what has it done for us? An introspective list of pros and cons.

  • It keeps the space further away from our grasp. [Con]
  • Fruit on the ground. [Mostly Pro]
  • It makes us hit the ground harder with its devious friend Acceleration. [Con]
  • Applied correctly, it brings sound from vinyl albums. [Pro]
  • Leaves on the ground instead of up on the trees when it’s autumn. [Con x2]
  • It bends the edges of the rainbows so that we can find the pot of gold. [Pro]
  • But it’s pressure on made-up creatures make the leprechauns harder to find since they only grow so tall. [Con]
  • It applies a limit on number of books on a bookshelf. [Con as hell]
  • Without it, pouring and drinking beer would be a bitch. [Pro as fuck]

  • Where do one get a $600 banana suit?
  • Where do one get $600 for a banana suit?
  • Where do one store banana suit when not wearing it?
  • Are banana suits dry-clean only to prevent the contents from getting all mushy?
  • C’mon?

Things that almost had me crying in the last 24 hours:

  • Avery’s video
  • Nosebleed. (Can’t handle my own blood well.)
  • This Dog comic
  • Me being me so that’s not important.
  • — We’re still flying.
    — That’s not much.
    — It’s enough.

It’s Thursday! Let’s do this!

Top five embarrassing ways of Giles getting knocked unconscious in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

  1. The Witch wins of course where Amy’s mom of a witch knocks him down by a slight push into a table. A table.
  2. In The Pack a zoo keeper even less bad ass than Howard Moon hits Ripper i the back with a staff. Not the head, the back.
  3. Buffy, by mistake, shoots him with a sleeper dart in Beauty and the Beasts.
  4. The mom’s MOO coalition in Gingerbread chloroform him to sleep as if it were made in the 60s.
  5. Buffy Vs. Dracula is just plain clumsy. It would have gotten higher on the list — after all he walks into a room without a floor and falls down — but scantly clad vampire ladies does remove some of the embarrassment.
  1. Woke up too late. Far far too late. Guess around 15 and you’re correct.
  2.  Scissored the finger while separating the new fresh socks from the plastic binder.
  3. Put the entire face into a pan of hacked onions to see if they were fried. They weren’t.

Seizing the day in all the wrong ways since 1977! Stay tuned for more updates, I’m going for a full collection. I’m actually a bit giddy over what might happen. It’s exciting!

There was this dream last night that I and a few friends — fleshy, Internet and imaginary ones — was walking through the surprisingly clean sewers to a dance and singing choir another friends put up. It didn’t get good reviews but I didn’t hear much as I and someone else was too busy trying to come up with a top five best beer ever. The winner was Haywire Ambrosia IPA.

Were you there? Was the singing good or was the unfortunate reviews right? Please tell me that Haywire Ambrosia IPA exists. 

Places I’d like to be able to embed This American Life episodes

  • In the car
  • In bed
  • In the forest
  • On Tumblr
  • On the couch

This is the food plan.

  • Bucatini pasta no 9.
  • Minced meat simmering for a stretch of time in:
    quite a bit garlic
    tomatoes
    basilica
    sage
    black pepper
    Hungarian paprika
    chilli spices 
  • Freshly bought bread

I might be able to eat in an hour. Might — it has already been on the stove for a bit but I’m really not tempting fate.

I guess I have to take responsibility for what I write in this blog, hope I don't make myself look like an ass too often.
