What I'm Up To

I've got a really nice post in the works, as well as a new BoN, both slated to appear later this week. For now, let's talk about me.
Last Saturday night I want to a homeschoolers prom. First, myself and five others had dinner at my house, prepared by my wonderful mother. Then, we went off the the prom. The prom started at 7:00 (we arrived at about 8:00) and lasted until 12:00 midnight (we, along with almost everyone else, left at about 1:00). Three of us (from the peeps who had dinner), along with some others, went out to Stake n' Shake afterwards, than left for home at around 2:00 - 2:30. I got home at around 3:00. I think I got food poisoning, though, because I couldn't get to sleep thanks to a painful stomach cramp and case of diarrhea. I got to sleep (at last) at 11:00 Sunday morning (I was too sick to go to church, or to do anything else for the rest of the day).
Other than being sick after, though, I had a blast! They played some pretty good music, and I danced on and off, and chatted with a bunch of people, and tried to burn down the building, and generally had a good time. Mike Little and I danced Blues Brothers style to Shout, and got a pretty good crown watching. Alex Kesckes came up with a crazy little dance the involved arm-rolls and playing paper-scissors rock with only draws. I myself managed to jump higher than I've ever jumped in a suit before. I even danced a couple of slow songs. Some people (not me) took pictures, and I'll post them if I can get my hands on any.
Now for some things not about me:
The internet seems to be an immense repository for junk and useless content. However, Kevan Davis, creator of the fantastic MMORPG Urban Dead, has created the single most useful thing on the internet: A Single Random Scrabble Tile. Just refresh the page and get a new tile. Wow.
Also, a quick hat tip is in order to Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor who, in his on his "Updates from Trent" page of the NIN website, said the following:
"As the climate grows more and more desperate for record labels, their answer to their mostly self-inflicted wounds seems to be to screw the consumer over even more...
...Year Zero is selling for $34.99 Australian dollars ($29.10 US). No wonder people steal music...
...when I asked a label rep about this his response was: 'It's because we know you have a real core audience that will pay whatever it costs when you put something out - you know, true fans. It's the pop stuff we have to discount to get people to buy.'
So... I guess as a reward for being a "true fan" you get ripped off."
Ya' hit the nail right on the head.
Oh... That pun wasn't intended.
It was really bad too.
Anyway, thanks to AfterDawn.com for the NIN link, and I'll have two more posts this week, as noted at the start of this one. Until then, may all your Thursdays be Perpetual.
