Writer's Block: And now for something completely different

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Anyone who was a sophomore in high school during the 1999-2000 school year probably remembers this question with fondness, am I right? :P Minus the "except for looks" caveat, that is, which I think might rule out the answer I used back then: I want a prehensile tail. Come on, you know it would be awesome.

Writer's Block: Trick or treat

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I'm dressing up as Experience from "Black Sheep." Then I'm going to "Evil Dead: the Musical" and getting splattered by stage blood.

Writer's Block: There Can Be Only One

[Error: unknown template qotd]

It would be rather difficult to not believe in it, what with it's existence and all. :P All joking aside, I think it works for some people and doesn't work for others, and ideally, those for whom it doesn't work should just quit attempting it. Put bluntly: cheating on your partner is one of the lowest things you can do. If you don't want to be in a committed, monogamous relationship, DON'T DO IT; no one is holding a gun to your head.


On a completely unrelated note, now that I do a lot of listening to my iPod with just one earbud in, I'm paying a lot more attention to the way that songs are mixed. "July, July!" is particularly unnerving; it starts off sounding normal enough... but if I have the wrong earbud in, the moment Colin Meloy starts singing, all other accompaniment drops out until the bass comes in a few measures later. I can't hear the acoustic guitar at all. Weird.

Writer's Block: Pet Peeve

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Alarm clocks... wait for it... on the television. I hate it when an alarm clock goes off in a commercial, especially if it sounds like my alarm clock. It produces a split-second of total disorientation, followed by a wave of boiling rage.
