Everybody Haiku!

By Abby at 12:23 pm on Thursday, May 18, 2006

I’ve added a haiku page (linked over in the sidebar to the right), because what’s more fun than a little haiku when you’re bored? A few friends have already gotten things started…

Manna

I am in love. I just got it yesterday, and it keeps calling to me. AAAaaaabbbyyyyy! Come and eaaaaat me! Holy SHIT, this stuff is good. I don’t know if it’s just making a brief appearance, or if it’s here to stay. But I will savor every ounce until it’s gone, and then I just may have to get some more. The toffee is that melt-in-your-mouth kind that breaks really easily when you bite into it. The chocolate is slightly sweet, with that rich, slight bitterness I love about dark chocolate. And the pistachios, perfectly toasted. Words just can’t express.

Get you some! Have some of this while you listen to tracks 8-12 of Arctic Monkeys, and seriously, there won’t be much missing in your life. And if you are hit by a bus tomorrow, you will die a happy individual.

All. You. Pee. Puhl. Are. Vam. Pires.

Get Arctic Monkeys’ Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not and listen to Track 8. Get hooked. Listen to Track 10. Have fun pretending at 3:25 into the song that the song is over, then wait for "All. You. Pee. Puhl. Are. Vam. Pires." and the subsequent rock out. Groove out to the bass line in Track 12. Listen again. Consider adding tracks 9 and 11 to the lineup. The rest of it is good, too, but stick with tracks 8-12 for a while. You won’t be sorry.

Yeah, I know it’s been out a while, but it’s newish to me, and I still recommend it. Noone promised you a rose garden. If you want more up-to-date recs, try Scenestars or Loudersoft.

Flickr is Getting Cooler

By Abby at 5:42 pm on Tuesday, May 16, 2006

Went on Flickr today, as I do every day. It seems their cool interface has gotten a little bit cooler still. Go ahead, poke around! You can perhaps best view the changes by heading to a page two or three of a photostream. It’s got even more Web-Two-Point-O-y Goodness than it had yesterday.
