Forget Steampunk, how about WINDPUNK!

A week of hyperness

I've been having quite a random week, and I thought that you at Project Woven Death might find the randomness interesting.

I mean, the whole thing with getting turned away from a gay bar (well, possibly a Dike Bar, which is reasonable I suppose) was pretty low-level.

Ending up in a random house at the end of that night, also quite normal.

The true randomness started with deciding to spend a day in a pub. Without having to leave the pub from midday to midnight I saw Juggling (surpassing even this) a bunch of different friends who happened through. And managed to write a significant amount of story, that, when typed up, I will show you where to read.

The next day, I spent a day in various pubs, and picked up a free pair of sunglasses, more awesome than these

Steampunk vs. Steam-age

If steampunk had been the steam-age, wouldn't life be so much cooler?

Uni* Will Not Keep Me Down

Despite a crushingly heavy schedule of drinking, partying, and even the occasional lecture or two, I have managed to begin updating my other two blogs.
Hence it is time for me once again to begin blogging about funerals, music, humour and other such things.
In other words it's time to give you the Top Ten Music Lyrics That're Better When You Misunderstand Them.

Except, umm, I can only remember one.

Ok then, here's the Top One Music Lyrics That're Better When You Misunderstand Them:

From Jack Off Jill's** "Don't Wake the Baby":

What I heard:
Daddy please you're scaring the clown
He likes me more with his pants down

It always brings a smile to my face. I mean, it's sick. But it's funny. And funnyness wins out.

But apparently it's:

Daddy feeds the scary clown
He likes me more with his pants down

This isn't exactly sick. Because it makes no sense. It doesn't even make enough sense be surreal. How can you not make enough sense to fit into non-sensical style of humour


This post (c) Kingreaper: My new themetune is apparently "Pentagram" by Cake. And "Particleman" by They Might Be Giants. Because I'm odd enough to be an anime***, and awesome enough to have more than one season.

*I'm triumphing over adding versity
**If you don't know Jack Off Jill, look them up. You will not be disappointed.
*** And hence get good, and original, themetunes each season.

Bringing back the funny

As reading through Making Money* has proven to me, footnotes=funny,** and I haven't really been that funny lately,*** nor have I been using enough footnotes. I mean, look at this post, I don't have any footnotes at all yet.**** (Admittedly this is still the first paragraph, but I put one in the title before******). I've also not made much note of wicker coffins.*******
*Terry Pratchett's latest, but certainly not greatest, discworld novel.
**Unless they're references to academic journals. In which case footnotes=confusion. Which can be kind of funny.
***The complete lack of content indicates a certain lack of hilarious content, does it not?
****This was actually true in the first draft.*****
*****Well, partly true, there was a footnote right there saying: "well, apart from this one". But who needs metahumour when you have silliness?
******It was kinda funny, but not great. No need to look it up if you missed it.
*******Which are kinda the point of this place, but if you don't know why I won't explain.********
********Until the next paragraph, which will have it's own set of footnotes,********** because the number of asterisks is getting absurd.
*********A practise I used to use all the time, but which does cause formatting problems on certain programs.

Wicker coffins are of course a very important thing, hence the very existence of Project Woven Death. One wicker coffin in particular* concerns us here: The Wicker Coffin Til Lindemann Will** Make For Vixen.**** As such, I try and keep an eye on Rammstein's wellbeing, but being utterly lacking in contacts I know very little. And the place I signed up to for info on Rammstein are plugging other german rock-metal bands.***** So I reckon the better approach is to keep up on craziness and music in general until I do learn more about the guys.

*A currently non-existant one, but don't let that bother you.
**Absolute certainty void in the case of the death or permanent physical impairment of Til Lindemann within the next 18 months.***
***Which given his line of work, isn't entirely implausible.
****All the words are capitalised because it's a proper name, of course. It may be shortened to The Wicker Coffin or TWCTLWMFV if you want, but try pronouncing the latter at your peril.
*****Krieger and Emigrate.******
******If any of you know these bands, or where they're touring, let me know. If not, I'll investigate. Clearly, they're more related to Rammstein than I am.

Two random discoveries

While listening to one of my pandora stations I discovered: Golden Shoulders
specifically their song What You're Proposing. Unfortunately the only one available on their myspace that I really like is Friends and Family. But is very good.

Also, while looking through my webcomics I noticed the joke email address itsnotmybloodthankgoodness@iwokeupcoveredinblood.org on Dinosaur Webcomics. And being me, I checked out iwokeupcoveredinblood.org: Check it out, there's a great clip from The IT crowd on there at the moment.
