Because I really really have nothing better to do

I had to share this little ditty with you.

I’m in love. Again.

Kaki King. O. M. G.

There and back again.

No dragons, no treasure, no dwarfs, and no wizards.

Just mountains, coffee shops, a little cottage and quiet.

God’s a bad, bad…

Holy. Crap.

I get this in my inbox, from my dearest one:

Play Track 5, “hand of the almighty,” and stick with it past your initial revulsion…

I suggest you do it too. Abso-friggin-WRONG. I haven’t laughed this hard in weeks (no exaggeration)!

Oh, and as a P.S.: I got official approval to add a couple more letters after my name today — I passed the M.A. oral exams. Woot!

File this under ‘X’ for “Covers I never thought I’d hear”.

Joel has posted something that I can’t quite believe — Alanis Morissette parodys (?) a really vile song. From the B’eyed Peas. You know the one?

I really can’t quite fathom it. Enjoy, anyway. It’s completely and utterly wrong (and yet so right).

Morse Code Music: creating rhythm patterns with Morse code

I spent about 20 minutes playing with this thing today… it was a nice break from reading for class. The theme song for the Mystery! television series “Morse” does indeed use the name “Morse” in morse code. I’m still trying to figure out Maqsoum (aka ‘baladi’) …

have a listen to this

finally, something blogworthy… This from Dory, per email. I thought I’d broadcast it to the general ‘net, instead of just forwarding it on.

Wir Sind Helden: the band’s website, and one of the more whimsically creative site designs I’ve seen in a while. Listen to songs from their latest album (”Gekommen um zu bleiben” is a favorite), download video clips and get tour dates.

They are coming to Stuttgart 3 May 2005. I may have to plan for that one… Sounds like it could be good.
