Because I'm lazy.
I wasn't originally going to put a LICD quote up, my three choices being Sluggy Freelance, Real Life and Cigarro and Cerveja respectively. The problem with those two though, is that they're not really that quotable. I mean, they are, but you need to read the whole strip to understand it. All three are great strips though, and if you want very beefy backstrips, Sluggy has been going since 1997 or so, so there's a LOT to read.
Slightly odd
I guess it's two posts today, since my last one was technically this morning. Do I care? Not really. To distract you from noticing that I really don't have anything to say right now, here's a link.
Also, if you're more interesting in figuring out what's going on with the zebra in space thing, click here. I don't really get it, but I'm also not too sure that there's anything to get. However if shiny things distract you, this might also do the job.
Legos rule. I really wish that I had this much Lego. I mean, some guy made a fully functional rollercoaster complete with a full loop, all done out of regular parts (ie. no extra scaffolding). The speed record for building the Star Destroyer is kind of neat too. Seems a bunch of folks decided to build a Lego set that normally takes one person about 13 days or so to put together (it's the most complicated, brick intensive set there is, apparantly) and did it in just over an hour. If these got together and applied themselves, why there's no telling what kind of stuff they could build really really quickly!
And that's about it. Nothing much else, except that Outkast's new album isn't that bad. I don't normally go for ghetto/hip-hop/rappish/dance/R&B music (I just kind of lump it all together), but this doesn't suck. I much prefer Speakerboxx over The Love Below though, mainly because Big Boi does faster beats than Andre 3000. Except for "Hey Ya!", most of TLB is slower and less rappish, and I just plain didn't think it was anything special. Another album I just got was The Rocky Horror Punk Show, which is basically the soundtrack to Rocky Horror, only all punk and ska covers. Entertaining enough to listen to, but if you haven't seen the movie you'll definitely miss all the context.
So yeah. Going to bed now, since I have to work tomorrow. Pesky thing, that work. ¶ 8:20 p.m.
