Why June is Going to be Great

June 3, 2007 at 10:53 am | In Muse, Music, Randomness | 1 Comment

I’m going to see Muse at Wembley Stadium on the 16th!

Simple as that. I’ve got other stuff planned over the summer, but not in June. Like going to see Converge on my birthday. And my birthday being my 18th one. And stuff. But June wins. Hands down.

I am Straight

I’d just like to publicise a quick notice saying that whatever anyone says or whatever I seem to be like, I am very, very straight and am not gay or (very) bisexual. I’m (pretty much) entirely heterosexual, in fact.

Just thought I’d clear that up with everyone.

First + Period

A quick peek at my ‘blog stats a minute ago summed up the sickness of some people’s search engine queries. Sure I posted about periods, but this is weird. Why would someone be searching this?

Egglog Search Engine Stats

I can understand someone searching “first period” if they were actually finding out if this site is in that list (which it obviously is), but I find it hard to believe that someone would be doing the same thing when searching for “what periods look like“. I’m also a bit upset that my ‘blog is fast becoming an information source for the general public on periods: third on the list! Or is that a good thing? I’m confused.

Why search “what periods look like”? I’m guessing this is some fetishist 13 year old boy looking for a cheap kick. In that case, I can only suppose the he found the Egglog and was pleasantly surprised obout how much more interesting this is than looking at pictures and descriptions of the happenings of female genitalia. Or the searchee could have just been awake after midnight around John’s house. In this case, it would be acceptable.

Music Sandwiches

I was sat in the Street at college today, listening to Rage Against The Machine whilst eating a sandwich (ham and mayonnaise on wholemeal bread, if you’re interested), when I came across a thought. It went something like this:

“If RATM made sandwiches, they’d hurt and be hard to eat.”

This brought a brainwave based around what sandwiches each artist represents. I think RATM would have really hot chillies in their’s. They’d probably add some sort of drug as well; maybe anthrax? And sand. Lots of sand. Eugh, beaches.

Muse would definitely have a sandwich with loads and loads of fillings and loads and loads of sauces, because they have such a range of genres and random effects. The Red Hot Chili Peppers would have some sort of tangy filling, probably piccalilli. Oh my, they’re so funky!

DragonForce would have brie probably. And so would most Christian music, at least, cheese of some sort. Hooray for rotating bald people! The difference would be that the DragonForce sandwich would be tasty. How do they do it? How are they as cheesy as that and still good?!

And 50 Cent would obviously have bullets in his sandwich. And Pig Destroyer would have cyanide in their’s. Yeah: music sandwiches. And if anyone out there has any other novel ideas for music sandwiches, I encourage you to tell everyone.

Your First Period

July 8, 2006 at 12:57 am | In Randomness | 2 Comments

After midnight around John’s house is a dangerous time for strangers. Through sheer tiredness we go hyper and laugh about silly things. Tonight, John came up with the interesting concept of “bum periods” after a short conversation that went something like this:

Mark: “She needs a slap.” John: “On the bum.” Mark: “With a knife.” John: “Eugh, bum periods.”

At this, I proceeded to search bum periods on Google Images, finding nothing particularly interesting, but ending up, through random surfing, at an insightful page about tampons. I thought this was worth a mention, partly through its general siliness: “make your first experience with tampons a positive one!” and partly through its overgraphicalness, which is generally funny when you are extremely overtired: “Some women prefer to place one leg on the toilet seat or tub, while others prefer to squat down.”

Well, you learn something new every day!

Continuing with the tiredness theme, John proceeded to look in the mirror and ask, “what if the reflection I see in the mirror isn’t actually what I look like, but what I think I look like? What if what I see is not what other people see? Maybe that’s why some people think certain people are fit, but others not so…” This has solid grounding in the realms of philosophy, I suppose, but not so in the realms of science.

GOOD NIGHT!
