Advent

[xp_daredevil]

Advent starts today!! Woo hoo! I'm going to church later this afternoon and I'll get an advent calendar then. I'm excited, we're getting closer to Christmas! I know a lot of people think that Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, but it's really Advent.

Thanksgiving though was awesome. Fried turkey is the bomb and I had a blast (pun intended) helping Wade fry it. Plus, no one burned the school down, double plus good. The food was delicious and I think I about ate my weight, which is good. Gluttony is a sin...except on Thanksgiving when it is not only expected, but encouraged. The time off from school is welcome too. I'm ready for the semester to be over. I feel like I've not had a break in FOREVER, which is basically the truth since I did summer school last summer. I'm not even thinking about summer school this coming year...oops. Crap.

I'm looking for new music, anyone have anything to recommend?

You've probably heard most of my stuff but Tool are good. And The Used and Rise Against. And I have some kind of chilled out stuff, that's all mostly instrumental.

Also, I wound up with a couple of CDs of Yvette's Albanian pop crap. I'll like, give you those, as a present.

I do like Tool and Rise Against. I'll check out The Used though, definitely.

Um, thanks, but no thanks. I mean, they were a gift to you from her, right? It'd be bad to regift...

If you do not like them, Artie, certainly feel free to give them away.

As a loan! As a loan! It's a figure of speech. You know, crap, meaning stuff, not ...crap. They're not bad.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

It is fine, Artie, you do not have to pretend. I thought you might like something different, but I know my music is not for everyone.

After my initial immersion in The Ramones and The Sex Pistols, I have moved from Social Distortion to Rancid and NOFX. That collection is available to you, should you care to partake.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Those are all amazing! I had no idea you liked that sort of music. Have you ever tried Flogging Molly or the Offspring?

[x-korvus.livejournal.com]

I have indeed decided to enjoy Punk Rock music. I appreciate their philosophy and independence from the restrictive label paradigm of American music. I have not yet reached the two bands you mention.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

well, you should check them out. and indie music too, it's similar to punk rock, but less angry usually. Still independent from major label companies though. You might like The Raconteurs, Empire of the Sun, or Franz Ferdinand.

[x-korvus.livejournal.com]

I will look for them. Thank you.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

absolutely. new york is a great place for music. you can go almost anywhere, anytime and find a live band.

[xp_daytripper]

Especially if you ask the punk rock enthusiastic who lives in New York if she'd take you to one of the all ages gigs.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

....would you, could you, in a box, on a rock?

sorry. no more Dr. Seuss for me. But please.

Dude. I have GOT to give you some Black Flag and Rollins band stuff. I'll burn you a CD. Oh, and Henry Rollins' spoken word stuff cause, the dude is awesome.

Glad you enjoyed the turkey frying - it was pretty awesome. We'll have to do that next year, too. Christmas, though - how do you feel about ham?

Also, AC/DC. You should check out AC/DC and Journey.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

I like ham. Are we gonna deep fry it like the turkey?

Everyone knows AC/DC and Journay. I want NEw music Wade. Not stuff my dad liked.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

No, I'm just gonna teach you how to cook it. I'm not even sure how you'd go about deep frying a ham.

You asked for recommendations. I gave recommendations. I don't know what's hip these days.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Okay. Sounds good to me. I'd never heard of fried ham, but apparently people fry twinkies, so who knows?

Saliva, Staind, Shinedown? Seether? Drowning Pool? yeah?

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

People fry butter - that doesn't mean it's a good idea. Besides, I found this recipe for baked ham that looks pretty tasty.

You have a fetish for bands that start with S?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

definitely not a good idea. that just makes my stomach turn and want to kill things. soooo. no. baked ham though is good.

lol, no. fine...bands that do not start with an s. finger eleven, puddle of mudd, 3 days grace, 3 doors down, and tantric.

Christ on a cracker, Anakyle. Now I want to make it.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I mean, okay, there's ways that probably taste better but sometimes you just gotta deep fry things.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

So I'm thinking two hams. Or maybe I'll deep fry one and leave the baking to somebody else.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

I cant read the site! its not compatible@

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Kid, we are deep frying a ham.
