Some Nick Drake warmth for the winter nights (winter isn't a thing here, but I still feel a metaphorical chill as the end of the year approaches)

The guy in the room next to mine takes phone calls in the middle of the night despite the paper-thin walls between us. To get back at him, I will now blast emo music at full volume. Bro thinks he can sleep-in on the weekends. Nuh-uh

I'm against the death penalty as it is simply because I don't believe the government should be able to decide who is and isn't worthy of life





Therefore, the business of executions should be delegated to for-profit corporations

Is it weird that this is one of my favorites off of Blue? It's just so wistful, it's like I'm really there, I'm really Jonas, and I'm carrying the wheel, even.

I feel like the rule enforcement here has gotten a lot more lax lately, yet at the same time, you don't see as many absolutely deranged posts

Rewatched Night is Short, Walk On Girl. Only felt right after finishing The Tatami Galaxy, though I first saw the former way before I did the latter.

Incredible movie. Like Yes Theory by way of Durarara, in an ocean of booze. Unmatched lively atmosphere, lived in by an endlessly endearing cast of characters and one hell of a protagonist. It's also good knowing who all the cameos are this time.

Light to decent 9.

Tired of Mariah Carey? If so, krill yourself.

But also, ho ho how about some obscure indie rock for Christmas? Whether you're already in the nice list, naughty list, or the list, this one will put you firmly in Shrimp's cool kids list.

In a way, discovering niche artists is like childhood Christmas.

Finally finished watching The Tatami Galaxy. Pretty cool show. If only I watched it 4 years earlier, I could've had a more authentic campus life, but maybe feeling regret about that goes against the message in the first place. Anyway, I might've had unreasonable expectations for the show because of its reputation, but it was enjoyable all the way through. The final 2 episodes in particular were stellar.

The folks over at The Promise Ring really nailed the feeling of suburban melancholia when they decided to write a 2 minute song with nonsense lyrics, a static 2 chord vamp, and the most good-bad vocals this side of the midwest

Coworker is really hooked on one of the new Taylor Swift songs, and it just so happened to be the one with a chorus that I just irrationally hate
