Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

1. So I spent today between studying Medieval stuff which is so boring I want to tear my hair out and twittering #luciferisrising, which means I ended up right there in the pseudo-religious war before they stopped everything. I mean, how freaking stupid is it that Puff Daddy of everyone (I refuse to call him by his current name, it's too ridiculous and I don't care about him enough really) sees the tweets for the SPN premiere, thinks we're Satanists and starts #godishere topics? And then of course Twitter shut both of them down and it looks like it has made Fox News, but seriously. Click on the tag and it becomes fairly clear that it's not a horde of Satanists taking over Twitter. Seriously. So much fail, but it's also way too amusing for its own good. Also, Puff Daddy should go hiding and watch more TV, but whatever. Though at least it was a welcome parenthesis from idiots discussing whether angels move celestial spheres or not and God's free will. *sigh*

2. MEMES! Uh, so, tagged by ladymacbeth77 for this one. Rules: Don't think to much. Write down a list of 15 books you're really attached to. Don't take more than 15 minutes: write down the first 15 coming to your mind! Tag 15 friends. -> whoever wants to do it. I'm too Medieval brain-dead to tag.

( books! )

3. Stolen from practically everyone: sharing is caring!

For one week, recommend/share:
→ Day 1: a song
Day 2: a picture
Day 3: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day 4: a site
Day 5: a youtube clip
Day 6: a quote
Day 7: whatever tickles your fancy

And since day 1 is songs and I haven't inflicted music upon you in a while... you get three. ;)

( Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell, Eric Anderson + Wyclef Jean, The Wallflowers and a RENT song )

4. I can't believe tomorrow morning (for me, tonight for you lucky not-Europeans) not only the SPN hiatus will be over, but I'll get the vampire pornography which means HIS PRETTINESS ON MY PC REGULARLY AGAIN. *dies*

5. Also, if today's craziness on Twitter has some results, I sure hope as hell that SPN's ratings are very high and that since the vampire pornography is paired with them, that it gets good ratings too. Ohmyyy.

6. Expect a heavy politics bitching post in a couple of days maybe. And it won't be pretty, but I won't let a certain idiot ruin my squeeage for point #4.

7. Okay, guess I'll go and head to bed, so at least I don't have the risk of oversleeping tomorrow morning. I doubt it'd happen, but still. Happy SPN day everyone who gets it regularly! ;)

1. Meme from half of the flist but mainly from alliecat8:

Go to Music Outfitters and put in your birth date in the search engine. The first link is likely the top 100 songs of that year. Cut and paste that list here. Bold the ones you actually like. Understand that the word "like" in this case means, in the very least, "wouldn't immediately change the radio station from". Pick a favorite. Underline that favorite.

( half good and half bad )

2. Regarding alliecat8's meme, she had this Ahab The Arab song which from the title only sounded like the perfect crack Sawyer/Sayid song, or at least the one Sawyer would think first thinking about Sayid. Then she linked it to me, I saw the video with the Sawyer/Sayid thing in mind and seriously, I'm still laughing like I can't remember. Oh Christ.

3. Hohoho assignment = 8000+ words and the end is... well, I can see it but I have stuff to go through. Oh, damn, I'll force myself to do all the plot tomorrow and the end the day after.

4. polvodestrella, I got your card! And elliotsmelliot, I got the card and of course the dvds, thank you so much again! (and I'll be glad to leave Jack to Boone under the mistletoe if he lets me steal a kiss first ;) ;) and the polar bear!!) ♥ I'm hoping to finish my own cards tomorrow.

5. I did my best of 2008 nominations for lost_fic_awards finally!

6. The new Uncut issue made me happy. It had Led Zeppelin on the cover, Lucinda Williams was on the album guide and in the best records of 2008 chart, too, they said that Chinese Democracy was a bad record and The Wire was both in the best shows of 2008 and I think first in the best series' DVDs. I love foreign music newspapers (even though I don't think I've ever finished a crossword on Uncut. Or Mojo. Or Classic Rock. They're hard!).

7. Okay, figures it's all for now.

Okay, taking a break for Kant to post this awesome thing. From eponine119. Using an icon with my favorite zombie, of course.

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.

Weapon can be real or fictional, you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.

1. Meh, I'm like Boone, I suck at weapons. I guess a gun? You kill zombies shooting in the head, right?
2. Badlands by Bruce Springsteen. Possibly a live version. It makes me excited.
3. I should probably go and say Rambo or someone like that, but of course I won't and say that I want Dylan Dog. I mean, it's published since 1986, the first number was about zombies, the guy shot zombies lots of other times in twenty years or such and he still survived. What? It's a comic book? And who cares. it's my total favorite and if there were zombies, I'd be in a comic book. Also, he's based on Rupert Everett and he's totally hot, so win/win situation.

Please bear with my spamming today.

So I'm reading the feminist interpretations of Hume and I was at this article written by the same author that wrote the one I have to essay about and... well, I'll just copy that.

The celebrated laments in the conclusion of book one of the Treatise might be read as the expression of a member of a subject race, the Scots, who had just lost their independence. Hume - speaking English with a despised Scottish accent, writing English with awareness of his own deaf ear for his own lapses into 'Scotticisms', hoping for an audience with a readership who did not treat him really as one of them - might also be seen to have been in a position a bit like that of a woman trying to make her way in a profession where she is suspect from the start, a 'strange uncouth monster' unlikely to win acceptance from those already securely in possession of whatever 'thrones' might exist there. Admittedly, whatever Hume thought he was doing in this celebrated 'conclusion of this book' he surely did not think he was merely expressing a literary Scot's frustrations, let alone putting himself into women's shoes or sympathizing with the bluestockings of his day. [...] Hume was, if you like, an unwitting virtual woman.

Is it wrong that I find this too amusing for words? Wasn't there anyone on my FL saying that Des is a total damsel in distress? Well, seems like my professor here agrees ;) God I'm never going to be serious when discussing it. Never.
