Memeishly:



I spent way too long playing with this thing yesterday. And yet, the scariest part isn't that Bill Nye is considered a fandom (I've actually met they guy, okay? That renders him off-limits for fic), but that this crossover would be sort of easy to work.

Other favorites include Transformers/The Real World/a zombie attack, Friends/Resident Evil/good characters becoming evil (omg zombie!Phoebe), Grand Theft Auto/SpongeBob Squarepants/competing in a Rock Band tournament, and, last but not least, Rocky Horror Picture Show/The Bible/a seemingly ordinary day. I'm appropriately horrified, yes.

Musically: Fellow iTunes users, has the Just For You feature disappeared for you too? Because I've tried logging in and making purchases and everything, but it won't show up.

I'm actually a bit unhappy about this, because Just For You was how I found most of my new music, including the bizarre niche stuff that nobody else knew about. It was actually quite accurate most of the time; it picked up on my love for Guitar Hero tunes and "Paint It Black" covers after about four purchases. Is Just For You gone, or is it just hiding somewhere?

In other music-indecision news, I've found that the Adam West (the band, not the actor) cover of "Supernaut" nicely balances the heavier, more grinding guitars that I like in the Ministry cover with the non-screamy vocals I like in the original. I still plan to pick up the original at some point, because otherwise I'm being a bad music fan (and it comes on the same disc as "Iron Man", which I want), but I might consider parting with 0.99$ for the Adam West version.

I also looked up the lyrics to "Supernaut", and...how has this song not been used in every Doctor fanmix ever? Especially all the Tenth Doctor fanmixes - so long as you disregard that the song is probably about an acid trip, the lines are really rather perfect for Ten at his most manic and self-destructive. Really, I'd put it in a mix myself, but it seems like such a gimme that I feel bad doing so.

Also, shot in the dark, but has anybody here heard the Klutae cover of "Blue Monday", and can you tell me if it's any good? I heard the sample of it and am intrigued, but...well, to be honest, I'm not sure I want to own up to listening to a gimmicky offshoot of Leaether Strip. I'm ashamed enough of knowing what Leaether Strip is, though I do solemnly swear here and now that I haven't bought their music and don't really enjoy it anyway. So there.

I wouldn't want you thinking I was wierd or anything.

Lifeishly, I've been way busy. Not that I expected otherwise, but sometimes it surprises me just how little I get accomplished in the average day, and just how much stuff is piling up on me. I manage to ignore it most of the time - today, for example, I feel sort of relaxed because the two big assignments I had over the weekend are out of the way, but the minute I think about it I realize that I've got an essay due in a week or two and I still haven't got my genes annotated and my first chem test is on Friday and I fully expect it to hand me my tender ass.

Also, I can't stay awake in Chem class, no matter how much sleep I get the night before. This is, as you might imagine, making my learning somewhat difficult.

I feel like this is going to end as badly as first semester last year. I know I should do something. But I just...don't know where to start.

Also I'm doing really, really poorly with the "leaving my room and socializing" thing. Even worse than last year, maybe; I'm not sure.

I should go get lunch. I suspect most of this is low blood sugar talking.
