  1. He's a good vocalist as far as technicality goes, but I hate his enunciation and hate how he uses that cheesy slow vibrato all the time. The music is pretty horrible and digital too, so I ended up chucking out the couple of later albums I had from them and just kept the debut, which is decent Crimson Glory worship.

    It did start to sound like really cut-rate symphonic stuff. I remember liking quite a lot from Epica, but nothing else.

  2. Finished 'March of Mephisto' by Kamelot.

    Maybe I shouldn't give these guys so much crap - after all, Khan's a good vocalist and the guitar stuff here's not all that bad.

    On the other hand, Serenity continue to be superior to them in essentially all regards. Speaking of which...

    'Wings of Madness' by Serenity.

  3. I'd get an eye strain headache working that long. Seriously even when I've left assignments to the last minute it only takes about five to six for me to hammer something out. 10 hours on an assignment in one hit is crazy. Remind me never to pursue my masters or Ph.D in law.

    Well, I did that over the course of a day, but I did have a lunch and dinner break. I was still working until 1:30 in the morning though. Technically it wasn't due until tomorrow morning at 11AM but I need this time to work on another paper.

  4. It hangs down about as far as my beard right now, just below my shoulders, which isn't long enough for me. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    I'd be happy to wear mine a little shorter if I knew it wouldn't plaster to my skull like Ozzy...as it is the hair just clings really close to my neck and gives a weird hourglass kinda shape. Having my hair as long as it is does make it look really badass over a hoodie though.

  5. I wouldn't say that's accurate. Connecticut has some very poor areas, and the highest income inequality in the nation, as well as a high degree of racial segregation.

    Huh. I stand corrected then, I figured Hartford and Bridgeport probably had some impoverished areas but I definitely should have guessed at the other two.

  6. I went to a "Tot"-luck party last night. Everything was made with tater-tots. Tot-nachoes, cesar salas with crutots, pizza with a tot crust, apatotsers, and some tot casserole. I feel fine this morning, if your wondering. I ate and drank very moderately... fairly I should say, fairly moderately.

    That's pretty ghetto for the second-least ghetto state in the US.

    #1 is Connecticut as it is the preppiest state.

  7. Had two guys in front of me with matching Acacia Strain vests. These adorable young men were basically talking or on their phones until the band played a song from Watershed, and the guy directly in front of me was obsessively checking facebook. People down a little farther were filming entire songs on their iPads. I was filled with scorn. Maybe that's misplaced. 

    I don't think so, but I do understand your misgivings. I don't have a smartphone but I think I'm gunna get one for Christmas just because I know I'll need one eventually and my old phone is falling apart. Either way I don't plan on getting absorbed in it - I don't like texting and for other Internet stuff I'd rather use my computer.

    The filming thing I do not understand. Sure the DVD might be edited, but is your bootleg cut really gunna be all that good?

    The worst example I saw was one that made a pair of commentators just lose it, when there were a bunch of girls just texting/snapchatting/updating statuses/taking selfies at a baseball game and were almost completely ignoring what was going on.

    I think ingratitude would be the word to describe what's unpleasant about that kind of behavior. I really hate seeing people do that because it gives the impression that they don't want to be anywhere and they're never really satisfied with what's going on at a given moment. There's a lot of literature around about living in the moment and I think for the most part it's empty-headed myopic hogwash, but there's a point at which basic gratitude (or perspective, if you prefer) requires that you show your appreciation for the present by enjoying it.
