a broken lull.

i can't get over how fantastic Bleed Like Me is getting. that fucking album is growing on me. it's no Kid A, of course it's not, but it's growing stronger and stronger each time i play it. i even told myself not to listen to it too much because a few songs are already driving me crazy, playing around in my head, and that i don't wanna overdose on it too quickly, especially since the show is in a week. but damn. everytime i put it on i can't help myself, i get all spastic about it. lol. and the weird thing is there's all these mild reviews of it all over from people who supposedly know music. i know taste is relative but most of these reviews talk about how these songs sounds like every other Garbage song -- so. not. true. people who know the band and the music know that this one has huge departures in sound, instrumentation, and voice. assholes. of course i don't care what people (especially non-fans) think. but it's frustrating hearing a band you love being dismissed that effortlessly.
there. rant done :)

i'm (surprisingly) loving and falling for this album.

spent the afternoon outside. it's a great day out.
passed by Future Shop this morning to get Bleed Like Me and the Martha Wainwright album for the ex-roommate (she was out of cash and she's coming to see Garbage with me next weekend). i also ran into Future Shop Girl. i couldn't find any copies of the Garbage album. there weren't any staffers close by so i went out and asked her :) there was another staffer with her and he went and got the box in the backstore while i was left alone with her. i didn't say much. she cracked a joke and that was it. she was working i guess and i didn't wanna come on to her. lol. yeah, i was shy. her expression, though, when she turned around and saw that it was me was nice :) i'll try to remember that instead of the awkward silence :) (i got a 50-disc BenQ 8x DVD+R spindle.)

Ju-on: The Grudge (original) gets an Unrated Extended Director's Cut North American dvd release. i find it quite surprising that they're going all out on this one. of course they've got a couple of sequels lined up with director Takashi Shimizu but i find it surprising anyway coming from an american studio.
