Listening to: Oblivion Dust - Come Alive
Eating: Nicktoons sweet and sour candy
Thinking: Of ways to scrub out my brain so as to remove all traces of Ghost of the Robot

I've gotten started on updating the linkage. Unfortunately, if you're using Mozilla- the new navigation bar isn't going to show up for you. This does not make me happy, and I'm looking for a solution. If I don't find one, you're going to have to suffer. (Like anyone cares what I link, anyway)

Now, to kick things off properly? Some rather pointless babbling.

So. I spent most of yesterday and *all* of last night working on downloading Ghost of the Robot - Mad Brilliant. For anyone who doesn't know, that's the band fronted by James Marsters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame. What possessed me, you ask? Well, how could I resist? For months I've been hearing rabid fangirls spout off about how utterly craptastic the music is. I've also heard just as many rabid fangirls spout off about how godlike and talented James is. I just had to hear it for myself.

So, I struggle. Curse BT every time the connection dies. Watch as it sits idle for hours, and then picks up out of the blue with a burst of amazing speed. On and on, until I got up this morning (er, afternoon?) to find it finished. The house is quiet, I sit down with my coffee eagerly anticipating what I'm about to find. I pull up winamp, load the album...

And what greets me? Utter crap. This goes beyond being merely "bad". This is embarrassing. Honest to god, it is the single worst bit of "music" I've ever forced myself to listen to, and all things considered? That's really saying something.

I swear to god, James is tonedeaf. You just...*know* there's a problem when you're suddenly realizing that this guy makes Britney Spears look talented.

In short? Unless you enjoy punishing your eardrums, avoid Ghost of the Robot at all costs. (Sorry, James. In the future? You might want to try "singing" without the British accent. Because, you know what? Dude, you don't really have one!)

In other news, I think I'm getting a cold. Must hunt down some tea, asap.
