help!

In the beginning, there’s cable TV at my new place... which my roommate and I didn’t pay for. Yesterday, Rogers came and hooked up the cable internet. Now, there’s internet, but no TV. My roommate, Millie, is really depressed and upset as she needs her Big Brother and Rock Star... and I want to watch the repeats of So You Think You Can Dance. Does anyone know how to get the TV cable back??? I tried unhooking the internet and putting the TV cable back, but that didn’t work. Will a splitter work? I want TV but don’t want to pay for it!

what should i go see?

Wow, I haven’t seen a movie in the theatre for more than a month! (that is definitely a record for me) Two reasons for this absent in theatre going: First, I was in Japan for more than three weeks... a movie ticket cost close to $20 there, and all the English movies there did not interest me. But omg, guess what was/is out in Japan??? This movie called Tales of the Earthsea. It is a new anime created by Hayao Miyazaki’s son, Goro Miyazaki. I wanted to see it so badly, but I would not have understood anything as it was in Japanese. Second. I was just browsing Rotten Tomotoes earlier on, and I did’t see anything good out at all... except for The Descent, a great horror which I have already seen a while back. (you can read my review here) The only other films that I really want to see are Brothers of the Head and possibly Little Miss Sunshine.

By the way, can someone please get me the theme song to Tales of the Earthsea... it's called "Owari to Hajimari: Shudaika 'Toki no Uta'" with Aoi Teshima on vocals... I think that's the song on the trailer... it's really good!

paint me that river, and would you only use blues, brilliant big black mouth and lengths of pines that route the river through, through and through

ignore everything i wrote below and just download the mp3s... like seriously!

Ok, so it turns out I have pneumonia... my lower right lung is all diseased or something like that... I am feeling a little better though, that's why I am updating this blog. I discovered IAMX (pronounced I-Am-X, I think) while I was in Japan. IAMX's latest record, The Alternative, has an overall tone of dreaming the freedom for liberated love and sexual revolution. Really, what the hell am I talking about?!?!?!... I don’t know, just go along with it. The first track, "President", is a nice little epic-ish piano driven introduction. The lines "For all you lonely boys, I will be president, In all you sons of men, I can be accident" reinforce that dream and revolution quality I was talking about. (I guess) The title track, "The Alternative", takes on the characteristics of liberation: "so throw your guilt religion, to the liars and the weak, this is the politics and war, of ecstasy... the alternative to real world, is just time for me and a fantasy, be blind to myself, to idolize..." In my opinion, the track also imbeds this sexual overtone... but that's just me, I think everything’s about sex. "Nightlife" is an ecstasy dancy/clubbing track... very good... but just one question for IAMX though, how DOES one survive in the nightlife? Alright, let's skip to track seven, "Bring Me Back A Dog". This song is backed by some very heavy and anger background beats. IAMX's vocal starts out pretty soft, contrasting with the music; however, as the chorus sets in, IAMX's vocal becomes loud and distorted... a very intense song indeed. The closing track, "This Will Make You Love Again", is a slow, beautiful, emotional charged song... one of the best songs on the album, a great way to close an unbelievable record! So, there you go, this has been a really weird review, you should probably ignore what I wrote above and just listen to the music... but give me a break, I am still sick, my head hurts like hell and my mind is going insane!
