Did anybody like the Geggy Tah mp3 yesterday? ...Bueller?
I'm trying to decide whether to post a live track off disc 4 of the CD box. I still haven't gotten up the courage to listen to the single. (If it's canon can we still call it a travesty?)
Speaking of which, I love the CD-box, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have money to spare or are a hardcore CB fan. I'm not rich but I enjoy the set enough that it's worth the cost. Dunno if anyone else would really like it, though.
All the dialogue tracks make me want to go through and watch the entire series subbed. I only saw 1-3 and 22 in Japanese. (insert EK's geeky dub/sub rundown here)
Ehhhh, I'll probably upload something soon, provided Photoshop Wars isn't still being a slut.
OH JESUS. Never mind. I just checked my referral logs and I used 2 GB over the past two days. (Of course, I let Brian download all my music videos, too.)
Tell ya what - when I get back from the dentist I'll post an MP3 from the Shibuya concert. The live version of "Mushroom Hunting" rocks (and I don't like the original, so...) - 2002-06-24 18:13:47 ::eats the Bebop CD BOX, for lo, it is DELICIOUS::

AAH. I just used an unspecified "they". ::slaps own face a la Annette Bening::
At least I knew who I meant ^^; -

I'm in a rather snitty mood this morning. (As James Lileks puts it, "Mood: Happy-free.")
Had a rather irksome weekend, and discovered this morning that my CD Box might not get delivered, despite the fact I gave the correct address... gotta go crosstown and pick it up by 5:30, IF it's back at the PO after the delivery attempt. Great. Just a little trivial fly in my soup, but still.
Got the new HD home last night, hopefully will start FLCL video tonight.
I've been pretty down about the whole AMV thing, thinking, "oh, all my ideas suck, I suck, I should just quit, nerr nerr rnerrrrrgrrrblllah" ::insert offensive wrist-whacking-against-chest gesture::
... then I realized that I was just internalizing a lot of negative stuff. It sort of came to a head this weekend and seeped out. I'd been putting the cork in the volcano (and by volcano, I don't mean one of those violently exploding kinds, but rather one of the friendly little thermal molehills one sees spacesuited folks tromping around on on TLC) by just shutting up when I had something negative to say, or something I needed to vent about... I only vent to people I absolutely and completely trust, like Brett, and... uhh, Brett.
The upshot of this is that all the irritation I don't get to vent about (for fear of seeming "unpleasant") kind of builds up inside, but since I won't let myself be visibly angry or upset in public, I just turn it inwards. Like stifling a sneeze, only over the course of several months.
Am I making any sense here?
Anyway, there's no faster way to get me pissed off than to: 1. expect me to be able to read minds; 2. expect me to keep up with a conversation in which I have not been directly or tacitly invited to participate (I don't eavesdrop -- I once had a bad experience with someone who made a habit of listening in on me -- and tend to put "ear blinders" on so as not to be nosy); 3. make fun of me for not doing 1 and 2. The problem just gets compounded if I'm poked at to participate in the conversation, and then constantly interrupted when I try to do so.
And don't even get me started on getting interrupted AS a joke, which just makes it even more pointless to say what you'd planned in the first place, now that everyone's anticipating it.
I snapped a little bit on Saturday. It's easier to go "JESUS!! WILL YOU JUST FUCKING QUIT IT ALREADY?!" than it is to honestly say, "hey, it really bothers me when you do that; can you stop?" Because in doing the former, you show your teeth. In doing the latter, you just expose your weak spot, point to it, and say "hey, stab me here." That sort of honesty may be more polite, but it's also just asking to get hurt again.
It's like as soon as they know what bothers you they keep pursuing it, like they were scratching a mosquito bite.
It also doesn't help that I'm currently, err, hormonally skewed. This only happens, like, maybe once a year. (Of course, now that I've mentioned that, all my complaints have been rendered invalid in most people's eyes. Feh.)
If you made it through all that, my apologies. Here, have an MP3:

I'm not saving the porn, or the ones that make my eyes bleed. I would be archiving right now except that Steakslim's images won't load, and the hangup makes my browser crash :/
