Slow day. Fine by me. Spent all my money on beer yesterday. Not so fine by me. Can't believe it's so warm here, in Norway. It's almost like... summer. Y'know?

I got 6 new albums today: Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath, Ramones - Ramones (what is it with bands always self titling their very first album?), ZZ Top - First Album (oh wow, now THAT'S creative...), Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R (it's their second album. The first is called "Queens of the Stone Age" >_> ), Alice in Chains - Dirt (second album again. Their THIRD album is self titled... <_> )

Never heard of them before.

In that case, it's a WIN! :)

Next up is H and of course, we should put HammerFall, Heaven & Hell, Helloween and High on Fire out of the question. I'd love you more if the next one was Hammers of Misfortune.

Never heard of Hammers of Misfortune. Just checked out one song, it sounded very familiar. I then found out that it's the singer from Slough Feg. I guess that's why it sounded familiar.
I currently have three options for H. One is VERY obvious, the other two hopefully aren't.

Yes, but I just said that to show that they are cool hard rock, not "wussie rock". ;)

What is wussie rock to you?

I don't know. Maybe Good Charlote, Coldplay, that kind of stuff. I just liked the name "wussie rock" as an opposite to "Hard Rock". XD

THEY. WILL. NOT!

But if they have to hide from humanity and there aren't that much left then dragons sure are an endangered species.

There may be many. I'm sure we'll eventually have enough to take over.

So, nobody knows for sure how many dragons are left. Not even dragons themselves. Makes it hard to get organized.

Well, it certainly didn't. I take it Anal Cunt was formed right after.

As far as I know Anal Cunt already existed when Seth was singing for Vaginal Jesus. That guy had an awful lot of side projects.

Oh yeah, I forgot about all those side projects of theirs. Only Anal Cunt mattered to me simply because of the hilarious track titles.

Yes, they have some pretty funny titles. But so do the bands on the sampler "Triple Fistfuck Fanatics", lol.

This took me a while, but I am now a General.

Still 6500 B/P left to sup. commander. Shit.

Blams: 18848 (+11 since last log)
Saves: 22379 (+11 since last log)
Total B/P points acquired today: 22

I sure am liking the way today is going. Not huge numbers so far, a while to go yet though. But the 1 to 1 B/P ratio is pretty freaking sweet.

Surpassed 9000 EXP, 6000 total B/P / Staff Sergeant B/P rank achieved.

/stats

10000 medal points!

My favourite joke of the episode is where Mr Burns is on TV and he has blood around his mouth. I'm easy to make laugh, because the joke is so simple but I love it.

The one that I'll always have a soft spot for is the episode when Flanders takes Homer to the football game. Homer is dancing around and gets hit by a beer can. Later, they score and Homer dances, stating "kiss my big Springfield butt!" He ducks the beer can, then taunts the fan that threw it, before getting knocked out of the stands by a keg. That was the first time that my dad had a propper belly-laugh at the Simpsons

Better than calling it ZZ Top, no?

Alice in Chains - Dirt (second album again. Their THIRD album is self titled... <_> )

That's nothing. Metallica's fifth album is the self titled. Possibly because they sought to reinvent themselves.

Both great choices.

Ramones - Ramones (what is it with bands always self titling their very first album?)

I haven't got around to listening to them. As for bands always self titling their first album, so what?

ZZ Top - First Album (oh wow, now THAT'S creative...)

OK, now that album title I like.

It just seems to be very uncreative. Led Zep made a big joke out of it, naming their first four albums "Led Zeppelin I" to "Led Zeppelin IV"

Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R (it's their second album. The first is called "Queens of the Stone Age" >_> )

You should.

I only had the live album, so I thought it might be nice to have at least one studio album.

I once had some Anal Cunt albums ("40 more reasons to hate us" and "I like it when you die" I think) on my hard drive. But I deleted them, since I only listened to it once and had enough of it. ^^

On the "Triple Fistfuck Fanatic" sampler I mentiond there are three bands:
Splattered Entrails, Septic Mutation and Hemorrhoidal Anal Suffering.
One title: "Excited when she defecates". Another one: "Abnormal anal hole deformation". ZOMG >_>

Getting the list done early so I don't forget. Got a whole lot of reviews to do ASAP.

A nice shout. I'm not so sure.

Okay, personal news, that isn't worthy of a news post. I helped my friedns move house on Saturday, so spent the most part of the day shifting furniture around their two previous abodes and into the final destination. 10 hours of graft. I felt pretty shit when I finally fell in through the door. I had a soak in the tub and another drink, before catching up on some sleep.

Sunday, I hit the cricket field, not knowing what I was physically capable of. Cue me scoring 3 runs (woo!) and then going out to demolish the end of the opposition innings, with 3 wickets, for only 17 runs. We win by 64 runs and are top of the league once again!

Now today is pain day. Sat in front of the computer, I'll seize up and when I get to relax later on in front of some friends, I'll probably just conk out.

Tomato juice. To be honest, it's really a drink that you take the morning after to recover from a long night of drinking. Hair of the dog so to speak. I just like it because it's so different and not some gimmicky sweet fruit mix drink.

I heard milk works too. Well anything that contains fat will help you get over a hangover basically, but tomato juice? That's a new one for me.

Yeah that makes sense. It's not like there are any wines that will go well with crisps or other snackfood and who would care anyway?

Yeah, after three, four, fives glasses you tend to not care how the wine tastes anymore.

Lol. Everything will taste better and better eventually.

It's a mixed bag and the bad parts do make me want to live elsewhere.

I don't know what they are, but maybe you just feel like you want to decide things for yourself and do things your own way around the house. That's how I felt at least.

Hmm I guess after all this time you must have had enough of the game at some point.

Or maybe it's more to do with the fact that Valve don't know what they're fucking doing with the game anymore. The latest set of hats are bland and forgettable while they started to give Scout a sword, completely out of place to his character.

Oh so it's the updates that kinda turned you off? Well the hats are more of an accesory right? I wouldn't care too much about those. Giving weird weapons to characters is another thing though.

Going to take quite a while to reach my previous highest rank (146)
And quite a great deal longer to finally make it into the top 100.
