let us count the ways.


  1. New Testament Album - With ringing endorsements to friends both here and other places based off of the first three tracks, I listened to the rest of it and discovered it's actually TEH SUXX0RZ! Three coolages, five songs that sound exactly the same, then a few that sound like they got recorded by AFKS's heyzues loving freak-boy friend that can't record anything without vocal distortion and without making everything else sound like mushy crap. So, I retract my endorsement. If you're willing to buy an album for a couple songs, go ahead, but be warned there's some dreck to wade through to get there.
  2. Dethklok. Not this weekend. Next weekend. Wouldn't be a big deal but I was so convinced of it that Mrs. NFB has all sorts of plans of what she's going to do this weekend "while I'm gone." At least she laughed at me when I told her and didn't get too upset. I = idiot, thanks.
  3. I'm related to my father, so that's working against me too.
  4. Sounds like we've got baseball sized hail coming today sometime, so the new car won't be new much longer. That's always a warm fuzzy feeling.

See how I'z fullz of wins. . .

  1. New Disturbed still rulez it. Vocally a little underwrought some places, but overwrought others so it all sort of balances out.
  2. Dipped below the threshold weight I feared would be stumbling block number one by 1.5 pounds this morning. That's always been a stumbling block in the past, so I'm pretty damned happy about it just being another day on the overall curve. I now weigh less than I've weighed in over (counts on fingers and toes) three to four years, I can't remember anymore. The next stumbling block weight is quite a ways away, so I'll just hold on until I get closer to that one.
  3. Had a dream where I broke into a museum called the Back to the Future Museum. It was based partially on the movie series, and partially on the concept of the way people in the past viewed the future. Which was all pretty cool really, but I'm not sure why I broke into it in the middle of the day. But, anyway, an announcement comes over the PA saying, "Back to the Future was a pre-911, pre-Katrina story about a boy helping his father. . ." and then the crowd erupted into a cacophony of noise. People saying that's not possible, how could that happen, no way, blah, blah blah. So, I say, "Yes it could." They all look at me like I've lost my mind. So, says I, "try the eighties." People start running screaming from the room saying, "WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT JUST HAPPENED? HOW THE FUCK?" So, that was all pretty cool. WOO!
  4. Got this awesome little Super Deformed Joker toy out of my Cheerios box this morning that has a chopping action on one arm. So I'm chasing the cats around the house with it and Mrs. NFB says to Mr. Kitten, "you aren't the only goofy guy in this house." Yeah, that's cuz us guys are awesome and you know it. Not sure why I was so giddy this morning, I just was. Am. Something.

And that's it. OUTZ!

Back to the Future by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #1 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 10:24:39 AM EST
From Lileks
the movie, which I still think is a perfect little thing, was made in 1985. Marty was sent back to 1955. If they made the movie today, he’d go back to 1977.

Think about that. 1977 would look like today, minus computers. Same clothes, same Pink Floyd tunes on the classic rock station, same smear of gimcrack commercial architecture interspersed with stalwarts from the 20s. Color TV, Star Wars, angry Iran. Marty could order a Pepsi Free in 1977, and they’d think it was a sugarless brand they hadn’t gotten yet.

Three good tunes on an album isn't bad, these days. Or ever, actually. As long as the rest of the album isn't complete dreck. 3 good, 3 bad, rest meh is a decent (not great) album.

baseball sized hail gotta diarize about yesterday's weather here in DCia. It closed the school systems, the office is half empty.

Earth First!

That's a bad album to me. by nightflameblue (2.00 / 0) #2 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 10:47:49 AM EST
Especially when it's by one of my favorite bands because they have a history of good album after good album with only one that I can think of previously that didn't move me at all.

But the bad on this album? It's bad. It's like, BAD. No no, not that bad, THAT BAD. Like you just want to scream, "SHUT UP! KNOCK IT OFF!"

Back to the Future, the original, was pure love. I was OK with two and three, but that first one was off the hook awesome.

In 1977, you could buy a ticket and fly across the Atlantic in under 4 hours carrying nail-clippers.

he got one of the batmans



I wanted a Batman. by nightflameblue (2.00 / 0) #5 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 11:24:00 AM EST
But I eat enough Cheerios I'll likely get one by the time the promotion is over.

I'll ask the cats once I get one if they fear the Joker or the Batman more.
