167.

So, I listened to the new Franz Ferdinand album. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't "them." In my opinion of course. They collaborated with LCD Soundsytem on a lot of their songs and that was very obvious and I think the electronica aspect to many of their new songs overpowered the alt/garage rock style of their previous music. There were a few really good songs though, but many of the ones near the end of the album sounded incredibly similar to others or were simply remixes with different names. Oh, Franz Ferdinand, please tell me that this album and collaboration was just a momentary lapse in good judgement...

Reading over this, I figured I should mention that the music was in no way "bad." In fact, it was quite good for what it was. I just expected something different.

Now for something completely different: my family is absurd. For the past few days I've been trying to render this bloody fractal, but for some reason someone keeps decided to log me off. Each time this happens I have to begin a 40+ hour render all over again. It has happened at least six times already. Honestly, it is driving me insane.

Once again, something completely different: my Comparative Civilizations and History teacher is amazing. His name is Mr. Ringstead and he's from Liverpool and he has an accent and he's brilliant. I bask in his glory.
