In case I don't return from the VT wilderness...

This should entertain you for at least three minutes Nate. A whole bunch of intro's from cartoon shows from the 90s. And I was going to tell you which was the best song, and the best actual show but I'll be honest, I can't narrow it down, there's some primo shows there. Ducktales, Chip and Dale, Tale Spin, Pinky and The Brain. Which makes me think I should get some of those shows so I can rewatch them. Admittedly I already should have every Chip and Dale episode so I might go for Pinky and The Brain. And this got me thinking, there was a whole bunch of shows back in the day that I genuinely loved and think still could be solid shows.

NPH and Taylor Swift?! That's stupendous!



So I think I'm gonna finish sex drugs and cocoa puffs just for the sake of finishing another book. Could be a while but I think I'll do it. That's one of my resolutions, read more. And not just Nate's blog's, perhaps finding some legitimate authors that aren't named Bryson or Tolkein.

Quick little PSA, you can probably still download the video for Robin Sparkles' song "Sand Castles in the Sand" for free through iTunes. Neato.

The shirt I'm wearing smells like Cheerios. Which is odd because I haven't had Cheerios in a such a long time that I'm not even sure I've identified the smell properly. But as far as I'm concerned this shirt smells exactly a freshly opened box of cheerios.

My blogs are getting kind of similar in nature and content, I'd really appreciate it if someone could inspire me. You know, if you people reading this were more interesting this would then become more interesting inturn making you more interesting, thusly, making me more interesting. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy, sustainable energy as it were.

I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?"

The most badass sport ever?




Speaking of badasses here's some facts regarding the filming of the Mummy II...
Brendan Fraser tore a spinal disk, cracked a rib, and injured his knees during production. Dwayne Johnson suffered from food poisoning and sunstroke.

Continuing the badass train...My Bloody Valentine 3D was awesome. Forget the 3D stuff which was cheesy and entertaining, but the movie was actually a decent to good slasher flick which was a pleasent suprise. And there was some t and a thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately the boobs were not in 3D.




So I'm watching American Idol, and trying to figure out a few things.
-Which judge is the most talented? I'm pretty sure Randy and Kara are the top two with Simon and Paula bringing up the rear.
-That and I've decided I'd definetly sleep with the new judge, and I'm pretty sure I'd sleep with Paula, the craziness might be why.
-I love that Kara made a contestant cry, by accident. Which is awesome because Simon actively tries and can't do it.
-I feel like Ryan Seacrest either loves or truly hates his job on idol. There's no middle ground, I feel like it has to be getting old for him, but it's the exact job Nate would love. "You mean I get to talk to all kinds of new people, all day, everyday? Awesome."

Having listened to four songs from the Two Tongues CD, I'm going to give my review/opinion. So far it's sounding like the last couple of Saves the Day records with Max contributing vocals as well. And that is in no way a bad thing. As a matter of fact I think I prefer this to the last few Saves the Day records(which I really do enjoy) and the last Say Anything effort.

I've watched a handful of movies lately with some pretty bitchin quotes that will absolutely be working their way into my vernacular. Although I'm not too sure vernacular is the proper term. Either way...suck it.

Fun fact you don't care about, but since January 2005, I've listened to an average of 55 songs a day on my laptop. Only 1992 of them have been Brand New. And only 83 of them have been by Nate. Which if my math is correct is like once every 17 days or so.

Musically I've been trying to expand my horizons of late, giving some new bands a listen. Some I've come to like others, not so much.
-TV On The Radio: I just don't get it.
-Animal Collective: I'll have to give them more time but right now they remind me of The Shins a bit, which means I'll listen to them but not too much.
-Kings of Leon: Ok, so I was not a fan of Sex on Fire at first, but having listened some more I'm really enjoying this band.
