No, I'd imagine you're considerably more reserved.

I envy you right now. We have some awesome beef in the fridge, but my wife keeps saying it's for a lasagna and I'm not allowed to touch it. So i just had some pan-fried Chinese chicken dumplings and a Scotch ale. Can't complain, I guess...

Human as an album isn't my favorite. I love some of the songs, but as a whole I feel like it drags. Individual Thought Patterns, Sound Of Perseverance, and Symbolic are the ones I always got into the most. I don't get why some people take a dump on Symbolic, it's a great album. There's nothing wrong with being approachable. It took me a long time to start liking Death, and I'm still not that into anything before Spiritual Healing.

Isa is amazing, they definitely found a different voice on that album (I think the Red Harvest drummer had a good bit to do with it). My initial impression of Ruun was the same as yours, but it grew on me quite a bit, and now I sometimes prefer it to Isa. Those two are my favorites after Below The Lights, although I haven't listened to RIITIIR yet. I'm not a huge fan of their older stuff. I liked some of Blodhemn although it's been years since I listened to it, and Mardraum and Monumension never did much for me - they do seem to be fan favorites but for some reason they haven't clicked in my head yet.

Ruun is awesome. Below The Lights is probably still my favorite, but I listen to Ruun, Isa, and Axioma a lot too.

Unfortunately, your actions have no effect on whose hill it is, since Iceni got in there first. I become very frustrated by the inexplicable computer problems I've been having. In a fit of rage, I yank the hard drive out and smash it with a sledgehammer. Unbeknownst to me, your spirit is still in there at the time, innocently browsing through my porn collection. Your consciousness is scrambled by the strike, making you much nicer and less competitive (if somewhat stupid) and changing your username to Bovine Loser Lentils. I mail my album backup to the mastering house. When it's pressed, I offer Iceni a physical copy in exchange for some studio space on the hill.

Re: Who are your current top 5 bands? I see Mr. Schuldiner has finally succeeded in making an impression.

New evidence conclusively proves that evil spirits don't exist. Accordingly, you vanish in puff of displeasure and vindictiveness, quickly whipped away by a warm breeze. My hill.

You thought it was the right hill, but without your tandem captain, you couldn't see well enough and rode over an anthill by mistake. That thudding and crashing you heard was JBaker stumbling over my corpse while looking for his Sarcofago CD. The ants swarm over your face and into your nose and mouth, devouring soft tissues while you attempt to scream in agony. Soon there's nothing left but bones. Iceni remains up on his hill, though his reign is troubled by indecision and guilt over having killed me. At least temporarily, it's still Iceni's hill.

You throw your back out while kicking Iceni; furthermore, your knee feels funny and you're worried you might have stubbed your toe. Your fears are confirmed when your leg swells up overnight, and your back hurts so badly that you can't stand up straight. You can't possibly defend your hill. Overcome with remorse for Iceni's horrific murder, and filled with sorrow because you may have permanently ruined your cycling prospects, you ask me to step in as hill guardian. You limp off into the wilderness, never to return. I remain your faithful steward. De facto, my hill.

It does seem like it would be a lot to handle, so many wives and kids. One of each is enough for me. Plus all these cats.

I think the main sect doesn't officially allow polygamy anymore, although it's still practiced by some Mormons according to articles I've read. I bet BAN would know a lot more about it.

Pizza, beer, and chocolate.

Re: What Are You Listening To? Gotcha. That's the one that got me into Death, and I still think it's awesome though it's not my favorite. You should check out Sound Of Perseverance.

I thought you said that was the only one you could stand... hadn't you listened to the whole thing already?

This sounds more like nu-metal with some noisecore guitar parts. If you're going for a "chaotic mathcore" feel, you need to make the parts and the song structure a lot more complex. You have good sound quality, and a couple of decent riffs. I hate the rap vocals, but that's just me. Good luck.

Re: What's on your mind? That's hilarious! We have Mormons here but I haven't noticed any of their churches. The most ornate and interesting ones in Brooklyn seem to be the Russian Orthodox churches, and there's lots of interesting stuff at a Masonic temple, which oddly doubles as a music venue - I've seen Swans and Neurosis there.

I see why you had to cut back on buying beer...

Apropos of nothing, I thought Iceni might find it interesting that there's a church of St Peter here in Williamsburg that has an inverted cross as one of its insignia. The upright portion is crossed in an "X" with a key and a scepter. I get the references but I've never actually seen this particular symbol in use.

Chicken sausage, cheddar cheese, and a couple of fried eggs for lunch.

What I've found is, if you try to wipe it up right away, it can get messy, but if you let it dry out on its own it just sort of flakes off and disappears.
