Can anyone explain to me why Paris Hilton is on the cover of the newest National Geographic magazine? I find myself strangely irked, despite already being aware of the magazine's less than stellar reputation for anthropology and other ologies.
Why is the F key on my new keyboard so sticky? It feels like there's syrup on it, and I can't imagine why.
The Ministry show was a blast. And even though I was wearing spectacles and was still frightfully sick with my third cold of the season (grr...), I ended up in the mosh pit for "So What". I wore my leather jacket, despite the formidable heat. I considered it training for this summer's LARP season where I'll be running around in armour. I drenched myself in my own sweat, but the jacket prevented the sweat of the unwashed others from tainting my dainty flesh. When my eye glasses floated off my head and I just managed to snatch them back from certain doom, I decided to vacate the pit and watched the rest of the show from stage right. I had an excellent view of the show from the rear, and without anyone jostling me at all. I even got to lean on a security rail. Did you know that twenty guitars were used during the show? I learned it from my vantage point, where the guitars were stabled much like horses in little guitar stalls.
I suspect Ministry is soon to be no more because Al is looking remarkably like Ozzie, now. Eep.
Meshuggah did a kick-ass show, too, and I stayed just on the outside edge of the roiling mosh pit for their set.
This Sunday, I'm off to yet another metal show: Kill Switch Engage and Poison the Well. I blush to say I'm not terribly familiar with either band (although I enjoy KSE's cover of "Holy Diver").
And the next week is the KW Metalfest, where I'll be working the show as security and gofer. You should come to the festival. Really.

The other night, Rooster came to visit me from Toronto. We went to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
schwartzung's place and I refereed a few battles between the two of 'em. No injuries were sustained because of the boffer brawls, but somehow, mysteriously, both Rooster and snowy_kathryn sustained tendon pulls. It is a mystery.
Rooster and Schwartzung also endeavoured to teach Kathryn, Amelia, and I more hand signals for the future success of ourmilitary LARPing careers.
I still need a lot of work.

My cold still plagues me in the form of that goddamned, pesky, persistent asthma constriction of doom. I'm waiting for my lungs to stop bearing down like a woman in labour. Grr.
