monday morning all week long isn't healthy

but being happy is only for the wealthy

The Hoosiers, "Worst Case Scenario"

have some composure, where is your posture

you're pulling the trigger all wrong

Panic! At the Disco, "Time to Dance"

and she'd throw her feather boa in the road

because she thought that it would set the scene

The Last Shadow Puppets, "The Age of the Understatement"

you tried to be a good boy

but you couldn't stand the taste

The Hoosiers, "Cops and Robbers"

(that has to be the understatement of the century.)

hai there lolcatz! (aka, i fail at titles) /2:51 PM

The keyboards on desktop computers are so... loud.

So this is what it has come to: my laptop has decided to kill the wireless internet connection for the umpteenth time, the Mac won't pick up a signal either, so I'm reduced to typing my "first post" for my blog on a rather old, rather rickety, and rather unstable desktop that has withstood several spills of water to orange juice, a trip halfway across the world, seven years of service, and much more than a handful of viruses.

But a first post is a first post, and they have to be done sooner or later, somehow.

Personally, I despise first posts. They're often disjointed, awkward and consist of nothing more than a whole lot of fluff and a one sentence meaning: this is my blog and I sure hope you keep reading. But rather than just jumping into the unknown, I think it's better to start with that disjointed pile of wasted time and effort (plus, I have time to waste).

This isn't going to be some blog with some teenage girl droning on about how life at school is or how mean some of her friends are. I've not got time for that, and let's face it: who would actually care? Instead, this is going to be a blog where I write about my opinions, the books I've read and the subjects that they bring up, new albums/music (watch out for an analysis of Panic! At The Disco's [yes, I know that there's actually no exclamation point anymore, but I liked it better this way] new album Pretty. Odd.), post my literary work, and to enjoy myself doing all that I have just said.

And, to stop myself from being hypocrital as well as cynical (which happens quite often), I'm going to close this post with a little bit of information that should be appearing in the near future. Though I'm not expecting anything from it (no comments, no readers, no expecation = no disappointment), I think I need to lay everything down so that I know what I'm aiming for.

• Critical analysis of Panic! At The Disco's new album, Pretty. Odd.
• Commentary on "Carrie" by Stephen King
• Essay on Geogre Orwell (made up from notes from 1984 and Animal Farm as well as his semi-autobiographical novel Down and Out in Paris and London).
• Commentary on "The Mayor of Casterbridge" by Thomas Hardy.
• Commentary on "Reading Lolita in Tehran", an autobiography by Azar Nafisi.
• Commenrary on the essays and ideas from "A Devil's Chaplain" by Richard Dawkins.
