Ok, this has been bugging me for a while, and I can't seem to find an answer. Eric, perhaps you (or someone similarly musically knowledge-d) can help me out.

Why does "Two More Years" by Bloc Party sound so familiar? Is it a cover? A rip-off of some other song? Is there something I'm missing here?

shameless self promotion:

hey guys. so yeah i updated the hipster twister site with some new photos and mp3s (brand new hot hot heat song)
but the reason for this post is, next tuesday (DEC 27) is SUPER IMPORTANT for hipster twister - because we have the Edmonton Journal & ED coming down to check it out, and i really want to be able to give them some good pictures -so if you're interested PLEASE COME THIS COMING TUESDAY.
that is all. thanks.

We only got these really terrible chocolate euro coins during our test. They tasted a little like I imagine stale chocolate gum would taste like.

I've decided I should probably try to keep up doing some German over the holidays so I don't forget it all, so I just spent an hour looking for kid's books in German (preferably with pictures) on chapters.com. I found "The Little Prince" in German, and I could order Harry Potter in English, French, Spanish, Welsh, and ancient Greek, but not German. Stupid chapters. And no Narnia series. Does anyone know if there's a foriegn-language bookstore anywhere in Edmonton?

Jump n' Bump? I haven't played that game in ages, I can just see the steven harper and jack layton rabbits deciding to jump on the paul martin rabbit while he is jumping on the trampoline... who will win? It's up to edo's imagination... dream away ed, dream away.

Jess- yup five and a half hours! But I'd much rather be doing that than writing a 300 word german essay, plus he brought us cookies by george... I had a brownie, so I think you're at liberty to complain. And yes we are planning to do the christmas eve service this year, I'll keep you and anyone else who's interested posted.

Jere - Seriously, 5.5 hours? That's rough. I guess I shouldn't complain about my 300 words in German anymore.

AD - Happy double-late Birthday. Birthdays close to Christmas must get forgotten a lot.

Are we going to Midnight Mass this year?

Ah man... I'm later than usual for work today. My alarm clock decided to take the night off at 4:20...

What does that mean??

In other news, I also had (in my opinion) this pretty awesome dream. I was watching someone play Jump n' Bump but it was the faces of the four political leaders (instead of rabbits). And they were not really playing... but just watching the debate. The election debate was Jump n' Bump.

(Jump n' Bump? - a four player cutsie-wootsie, blood n' gore, "I Hate You" fest)

nice, lesbians in the making:



YES!!! GO TEAM!!!

check this sweet Christmas Music Video. If I'm not mistaken, it's family force five doing a Weird Al cover???

I think it was Weird Al who did that song...?

Yo Eric, I think what the guru would say to the people who freeze in the face of processed work that only they can complete is that that work isn't going to go away. It'll just sit there and make them feel bad. Thus the only option is to just do it, now, later, someone else, or dump.

AD, for your birthday I give you this present:



The culmination of all scientific knowledge has led to the fusing of Kunal and the young Michael Jackson into one being!!! OW!
