At random

I'm pretty sure I've been having Due South dreams lately, but I can't remember anything beyond fleeting visual images of CKR/Ray that could as easily have come from watching episodes with [livejournal.com profile] iuliamentis or staring at screencaps, so who knows.


[livejournal.com profile] iuliamentis's boyfriend is apparently, perhaps, possibly, contemplating getting a livejournal. If he did, I'd be able to talk about nearly everyone I interact with on a daily basis via lj-user tags and, on reflection, I find this pleases me.


It's official. Ed Kowalczyk, lead singer of Live, must have had some sort of conversion experience. Not that I know anything about the guy, but... I was pretty sure after The Distance to Here came out, with all its songs about peace and love and finding something. New album? It's called Birds of Pray. Single is called "Heaven" and includes the lyrics "I don't need no one to tell me about heaven / I look at my daughter and I believe." On the whole, this doesn't actually bug me, (yet), unlike the new Train song, "Calling All Angels" which is one more 'ooh, the world's gone to shit what are we going to do' bit of handwringing. Which sucks, because I liked Train's first two albums, but the new song is just pissing me off. And what is that line about "football teams are kissing queens" supposed to mean, anyway?


Heard the new Live song on the way home from Computer Medic, because Mark Pierre was in the shop again. I'm starting to think that naming my computers is bad, because I get so freaking anthropomorphically attached to them; I've put $350 into this computer in the last three months, which I think means I'm getting to the economic viability breakpoint for getting a new one that won't have the same problems, if I can swing some financing or something so I don't have to actually apply for a new credit card to do it. And even though I'd likely be able to port everything on this computer over to a hypothetical new one (what would I call it? And, more importantly, would it have a different background?) I can't bear the thought of giving up Mark Pierre. Even though, objectively speaking, he sucks, he's my baby.


God, I need to stop naming my computers.
