Giants. Hilarious. Bronies. Really?. Mmhmm. Insomnia.

"I am a paleontologist."
No, not me.
That's a line from the song, "I am a Paleontologist" by They Might be Giants.
It's really catchy, and I can't seem to get it out of my head. at all.
enjoy.

Fact: Puppet Shows are always hilarious. Even when they're not.

So.
There's a show.
about ponies.
my little ponies.
It's called "Friendship is magic".
It's meant to be for little girls.
There's a group of people who watch this show who are not in the show's original demographic.
They're mostly teenage and older males.
They call themselves 'bronies'.
wow.
Clearly, I had to check this out for myself.
Here's what I found:



yeah.

Mildly entertaining, but is it something older dudes should be watching?
Isn't that slightly...Creepy?
should there be blogs and forums solely devoted to 'Friendship is Magic'?
and.....the biggest question of all....

IS FRIENDSHIP REALLY MAGIC??????
I guess you'll have to decide.


Fact: Music is always better if you dance to it while doing chores. Esp. if you're doing chores in the kitchen.


Getting into: (Wait for it..)



RELIENT K!!!!!
yeah. they're back

Album: Mmhmm

What you need:
Be my escape - (duh) this song is what you need for a complete and balanced breakfast.
High of 75 - I've always loved weather metaphors.
Which to Bury - 'You know I've always loved you, but right I just don't like you'. oh, and the banjo was surprising. (In a really good way.)
This week the trend - 'But after this day it's this week all over again'.
When I go down - so true.

What's also really, really, good:
I so hate consequences - there's some clever lyrics, and who doesn't hate consequences?
Let it all out - Very Ben Folds-ish. it works.

For Fun: (and lots of it)
The only thing worse than beating a dead horse is betting on one - whoa. they went a little 'Panic at the Disco!' with the title, but it's a good song.
Maintain consciousness - It's like "you belong with me" by Taylor swift. But it's reversed. and from the guy's perspective. and he already got the girl. and it's more rockish. and.....that's all for now.
Life after death and taxes - Relient K with a touch of screamo. just a touch. don't be scared, lovers of clean vocals. It's not hardcore.


Did I just use every song on the album?
Oh yes I did.
It's just that good.

Insomnia.
I don't think I have it. But if I do, It's just a light case.
But some nights, I can't sleep. at all.
Until I write. I usually write my best stuff when I can't sleep.
Not always. But mostly.
What about you?
What do you do when you can't sleep?
I want to know.

  1. When I can't sleep...I read awesome blogs like this one :) Lol.

    I do agree, good analysis on Relient K's album.

    Typically when I'm up late, I experience a but of a range of productivity. Sometimes, staying up late means working on that project I've been procrastinating on--sometimes it means watching 1001 videos on youtube.

    Hope to read more of your posts soon, keep writing ;)
