The alarm clock blared from across the room and Philip got up without opening his eyes, turned the goddamned thing off and collapsed back onto the bed. Then he realized he was still drunk. It was one of those pleasant post-drinking mornings where he didn’t wake up directly into a hang over, but rather that blissful middle ground where the tiredness of a late night out carousing with friends and not-friends was gone, yet the bleary minded bravado and casual sense of indestructibility remained, a calm, warm glow cast on the morning.

It’s a photo taken by Thierry Legault of a space shuttle in front of the sun. Seriously? How rad is that? Too rad, is the answer. Too rad. The Space Pope is pleased.
If you want to see more photos and read his explanation, check out the site here.
A few months ago I did a little mini-review of Bloodbath’s The Fathomless Mastery. I expressed a bit of reservation about the quality of the record, but, as time passes and I’ve had the chance to give it repeated listenings, it’s fucking awesome. The album is now breaking any new ground, but that’s not the point at all. Bloodbath have created a massive, heavy as fuck, brutal death metal record of the old school style that I find so heartwarming. Totally awesome. Check it out.
This is a video for their first single (do death metal bands have singles?) called “Hades Rising”. It’s rad. Watch it.
Must we go through this same, tired old song and dance every time I start to work on a website? Must we?! No one would ever call me “computer illiterate,” but there is just something about writing code that can be so fucking frustrating sometimes. I think it should be doing what I want it to, yet it does not? Why? Do you hate me CSS? Do you hate me? I don’t know how Sean does this all the time. I would be angry at everyone day and night. I guess that’s why I didn’t major in computer science. When the Avid or Final Cut isn’t working, I know how to fix that. When a DigiBeta deck is being dumb, I generally know how to make that work too. When my camera is misbehaving, usually that’s just me being stupid. Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, blah blah blah, no problem. Rock and roll. I got it.
But code? Nope. No go. Sometimes it comes easily, but sometimes it does not. And shit, I’m not even coding crazy shit, just website stuff. Blows my mind. Kudos to you crazy folks who get it.
Regardless, it’s 1am now, so I’m going to call the website-making quits for the night and kill some fucking monsters on the 360 until I am ready to crash.
Off topic, I have a Twitter account now, but I’m not going to link it for you until I get a moment to write up my intentions for it. I’m treating it like a little art project, kind of how I deal with Facebook. More to come!
