Three posts in two days? This could get messy...

There's another post in my brain, so I'm going to set it free. According to that old rule: if it comes back to me, I get to keep it!

I like a bunch of random shit, which is like saying I love breathing. Everyone does, except for ghosts n stuff - they tend to be dead. And you know, when you find something so great that you wish you had thought of it first? Like post-it notes or Dyson vacuums? Here's my Dyson vacuum: Hark! A Vagrant which is written by a person called K. Beaton.

I 'discovered' this comic after it was briefly mentioned in an XKCD rollover. Call me the Christopher Columbus of the internet; I don't find it first... but by golly, I find it loudest. And this discovery is a doozy, mainly because of how much it makes me giggle like an idiot.

My personal favourite, that I've sent to anyone and everyone I've spoken to in the past three days (ok, so that's like only 503 of my closest friends because printing it out and putting it on my door doesn't count as a person).

Bask in its majesty.

Alright here goes...

So this site was borne of the need to update family and friends about my progress over in England. I was leaving home for the first time, and it seemed like an easy way to keep everyone in the loop about my amazing adventures and shit.

Evidently, though, I never got around to updating the damn thing - what with Facebook and Myspace and Beebo and Friendster, it all seemed a little redundant.

However, for various reasons I've decided to take another crack at the whole 'blogging' thing.

So! What will I 'blog' about? Whatever I feel like! If I find a cool song? blogged. If I find a video that strikes my fancy? blogged. If I have a rant about something? blogged. And so on and so on until I run out of steam.

To get this party started, I'd like to start with a song. I'm a big fan of Björk (big surprise there... mildly educated white people LOVE shit like her), to the point where I sometimes say her name as 'bee-york' and not 'buh-jork'. I'm also totally gay for Drum and Bass, which sounds like an unlikely thing to mention in the same breath. But wait!

In the past year, Björk crafted a song with Thom Yorke called Náttúra, which is all sorts of crazy. Then, a guy named Switch remixed it, and did a pretty good job. THEN a guy called Sub Focus used it in his Essential Mix back in April of this year.

Then! I heard it.

Now, you get to hear it, too. You're welcome.




Time to update this thing

That's right. Updates.
