Wanton crabby cheese

[dr_tectonic]

Blah!

I am cranky.

Too many meetings today.

IMAP server ate my inbox. (I suspect a sysadmin will be able to stick a finger down its throat and recover it, but still, it is fretsome.)

Netflix watch-it-now thingy doesn't have a bunch of things I want to watch, and will only run at slide-show speed on my laptop.

Thus, you are graced with my crabby icon, which I know entertains a number of you greatly.

Fortunately, I have music videos on YouTube, purveyor of all things delightfully bad, to keep me from just spontaneously combusting in irritation. Case in point: The Darkness (the band, not the video game). Taking themselves seriously, or totally mocking everything about rock? Or --just maybe-- both?

I don't really care. I just know that Christmas Time is awesomely, painfully, beautifully cheesy. So very bad that it's good.

Re: When the revolution happens, blame Guitar Hero

I don't have any albums by them. (...yet.)

But they would totally go in the Embarrassing mix. (Along with White Lion, Twisted Sister, Nelson...)

Nooooo... I draw the line at Nelson. I should not admit this, but I already have some White Lion and Twisted Sister, both of which made an appearance on 'Bitchin' Camaro' this summer. You really need a copy of 'Bitchin' Camaro.' You would love it. Too bad my CD burner's broken. (Well, actually my USB port, but that's another story.)

I'm embarressed to say I've quite enjoyed Tesla as of late.

Oh god! What's happening to me? You're old enough to experience it as nostalgia. I was in grade school/junior high when I experienced the end of hair metal. I dearly wanted to be a rocker chic, but by the time I was old enough grunge ruled (and suited my straight, fine, hair and bad attitude better).

That being said, I have a very funny picture of me at 14, to which my friend Linnet commented, "You're totally the rebel in this crowd." She's right, and with the last vestiges of my first (and last) perm coming out, I even look slightly rockin'.
