All speed does is make you focus anyway *nod*.

Well if you just take it normally maybe. My system also incorporates advanced biorhythm manipulation technology* in my revolutionary weight loss program.

*I wrap everything below the neck in Saran Wrap and lock you in a sauna after you finish your speed.

You should really think about strapping them to an exercise bike as well so when they flail they get some extra cardio in.

If having that much speed in you at once isn't cardio, then I guess there's still the part where you go into cardiac arrest and I hit you with the paddles.

Nick Cave concert.

So it started and I was all like "Can Nick Cave like maybe not dance? I don't know what is going on." He kind of looked like your cool Math teacher from High School (we all had those right?) doing slam poetry on acid and then you find out later he hasn't ever touched acid in his life (Nick Cave has totally touched acid though).  Like especially when you hit Higgs Boson Bluess.  Giant fucking nerd moment.  They played through about half of the new album which was all pretty good.  Then he broke out into From Her to Eternity and that answered my question.  Nick Cave can dance, it is just that you can't dance to modern Nick Cave.  Old stuff that like gives a fuck about structure and form you can totally dance to and his dancing fits it perfectly.  That moment is pretty much the moment you find out that your cool Math teacher from High School likes to bust out the old stuff he wrote when he was nearly arrested for being an eco-terrorist.  Incredibly angry and noisy as fuck.

It really solidified stuff I had been saying when I tried to hook Ciatos on him a few years ago, Nick Cave changes completely post Murder Ballads which is the perfect in between point for grim fucking music about terrible things he was known for after The Birthday Party and the extremely poignant bittersweet borderline spoken word he does now.  It sort of culminated into this really chill laid back album about people dying.  Also showed the videos of him singing live that I have seen did not lie.  His voice carries through amazingly accurately from the studio to the stage and that voice is goddamned amazing.

Anyway they closed out with the Encore as Stagger Lee which was pretty great as Stagger Lee stuff tends to be.

Concert was worth price of entry because it gave me two things in life that I needed to have happen.  First of all I saw Nick Cave singing Red Right Hand live and oh my gods was that brilliant and one of the things on my list of things I wanted very badly to see (here is hoping Bowie does a tour on this new album and then I can probably die having most of the things I want to see from music fulfilled that are still physically possible).  Second of all, I learned how to rock the fuck out while playing a violin thanks to Warren Ellis (not that one this one although to be honest there isn't a huge difference in what they do within their mediums honestly, both are weird and amazing).

Also of note, I realised that there is people out there that Nick Cave was their jam back in the day rather than being like an intellectual obsession.  This was the stuff they just bounced to and totally dug obsessively.  Straight up fist pumping and doing that weird point your finger in time with the music thing that people do at concerts to stuff from Henry's Dream or Your Funeral ... My Trial just seemed so weird.  Like they are cool albums with cool tracks, but nothing that I would really say is an album you nod your head to and really get totally into like that.  It was weird.

So in short Nick Cave was a sexy High School Math Teacher with an amazing voice who makes no fucking sense.  You should go with Ciatos and take notes Elves or you might be in trouble.  Nothing was played off Nocturama in the set he played for me Ciatos, but there was Love Letter for something off No More Shall We Part, so that was good (and strangely out of place in the set honestly).  A good selection of tracks either side of Murder Ballads outside of the new stuff and only one of Murder Ballads itself.  Good fun concert, I hope the one get later in the year is just as good.

Also I realised that The Weeping Song is the most Kotori song ever.  It is literally a song called The Weeping Song and is about Weeping.
It literally has the lines

This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While we rock ourselves to sleep

Literally the most Ko sentiment expressed in the most Nitori styles.

I probably won't be able to attend anyway - it's either PSB or not going bankrupt in the middle of California misadventures, and I gotta keep my priorities straight.

EDIT: And, for Women's Day, I publish a story about my company's positive gender equality and women's welfare policies. Sometimes, the weirdest things satisfy me.

I have burdened myself upon thine Sir Alex and enjoyed a wonderful and enchanting game of Boggle. Of course, I forgot how to play the first row --- only to receive at WTF look from Alex --- and to cackle endlessly; it later all went well.

Also, touhou. i saw it and alex's elite houhou skills. It was a fun time. Thought I should note this.

I mad at work.  I mad at life.  Can't find new Bowie album at my usual music stores even though they have it listed on website.  Raging and want to eat terrible food.  Oh Heart of the Swarm came out.  That can be my impulse buy.

Still not going to box this arvo like I was going to.  Dunno why being mad makes me not wan to work out at home.

I brought up Bowie with my boss who quickly replied that it is apparently "no bueno." ): Let me know; I want to try it out at the record store soon enough.


After turning in my forms for Ghana, they were upset I didn't purposely make overnight stops in different cities, and that I was actually being economical.... so they increased my base flight ticket even more, so I am now having an overnight stay in Germany and Senegal. First city I'm not sure about, but there is someone I can stay with. I.. guess it'll be fun. Ich ich ich.

I am currently experiencing what happens when the body reflects the mind. Consider, too, that the mind has slowly been sinking to the bottom.

I may not need the money, but holy hell do I need a project.

In brighter news, I will have health insurance as of April 1. THANK YOU OBAMACARE

Congratulations to the peoples!~

My sister's been in hospital, think she's out of the woods now so it's safe to say, the family cat has been dressed, and a lot has happened. I am due female things so I'm all topsy turvy, one minute I'm like yaaay tots happy I want everyone to feel this wonderful feeling then laters I am like baw and then scold myself via what the f is wrong with mes, also I'm starting to really wonder if I have some form of dyslexia or something, noticed it with writing, texting, etc some before but it's pretty concerning when you come out with such golden blunders as "Pasty bought her dog a son" "I went walking with Pasta" and when you read a bus stop billboard as saying "Penises" and not the Pennies it actually was, a man holding a jar of pennies for one of those savings things~

Also the charity I volunteer with/help out at is been invited out to dinner next week with a member of the Scottish Parliament and the Chinese Ambassor, I am one of the volunteers invited to go~

Edit - Oh yeah and I got my hair did today, still have to find something to wear~

**

Wow congrats Snow!, congratulations and best of luck to yous~

Softie. (-=

I've made my decision.

I'm sticking with BU unless UTA offers me additional funding, as BU has recently increased mine.
BU, instead of four, I now have five (two years of diss writing instead of one), full tuition, health insurance, continuation fee covered, pot of $2500 traveling stipend.

UTA, five years of funding, not including health insurance or continuation fee, paying $500-700 on taxes as a TA/AI for three years.

BU, if I can live alone, I have ~8k disposable income; if I live with a roommate, I have ~11k+ disposable income, higher cost of living
UTA, if I can live alone, I have ~8k disposable income; if I live with a roommate, I have ~12k disposable income, lower cost of living

Weather doesn't matter anymore: either really hot or really cold

A major weighing factor: I only have to be in Boston for three years; I have to be in Austin for five per teaching funding
BU Advisor: Five Star Rating, UTA Advisor: Four Star (and still confused about how much weight her name carries).

So yep. That's.. that.
