So what DOES a Jarannicus Orranicus DO

Okay, I know. I said I would update this regularly. Well, since I wrote that last entry I got a new computer, had some problems with it, replaced the bad parts, had some more, and finally I think I have it ironed out.

Work has been okay, I guess. Lots of laundry. Money is good though, always a good thing to have on hand.

Not much to report otherwise I guess. No news is good news, as the saying goes.

Update: Because I feel this is a little... halfhearted, this post is now called "So what DOES a Jarannicus Orranicus DO". Well, I decided I would tell you all, which is pretty much just Shelle, because I feel like a linkwhore spamvertizer if I link my blog to anyone really, WHAT I DO IN MY FREE TIME (rather, what I do when I'm so busy I manage to not pay attention to people for a few minutes), and also the playlist I've been looping for a while, SO ANYWAY, here goes.

To start with what I'm doing when I'm not paying attention to you, I will go ahead and say if you've never heard of Loading Ready Run, head on over to http://www.loadingreadyrun.com and watch some of the popular videos on the right hand side a ways down. Chances are, if you either use stumbleupon, like pirates and talk like a pirate day, or read news about that frenzy over the Mass Effect "sex scene with EXPLICIT NUDITY!!!!111!1!!!ONEONEONE!", then you'll recognize one of the videos over there. These guys are so awesome, after my third day of watching their videos, I bought a shirt. Yeah.

Big shout to my most recent refresh-button-hog, G.O.D. over at http://www.grumpyolddad.com I've known this guy for a few years. He's just getting his blog set up so there's not much there, worth watching IMO.

As for webcomics, the list is numerous. There's Ctrl-Alt-Del, Questionable Content, Megatokyo, Masago: The Restaurant, Fanboys, Dueling Analogs and Applegeeks. I'm feeling lazy, too much to to give you a link to each and every one. Google them.

Usually other than that, it's whatever I StumbleUpon that day. That usually gives me a few hours of entertainment.

The past few months have been good for stumbling upon things that I find awesome, or cool, or entertaining, or catchy. The catchiest of which has to be "Here comes another bubble" by The Richter Scales (link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6IQ_FOCE6I ).

Well, that's pretty much it for random internet stuff, the rest of it's the usual IRC chatting, AIM chatting, MSN chatting, video chatting, and of course, scrabble.

This week, my favored playlist contains:

Flogging Molly - Requiem For A Dying Song
Maroon Five - Won't Go Home Without You
Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime
Cute Is What We Aim For - The Curse of Curves
Eagles - Journey of the Sorcerer
Eve 6 - Inside Out
Fatboy Slim - Wonderful Night
Finger Eleven - One Thing
Foolsgarden - Yellow Lemon Tree
Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta
Matchbox 20 - How Far We've Come
The Matches - Chain Me Free
Meese - The Start Of It
PlayRadioPlay! - Confines of Gravity
Rooney - When Did Your Heart Go Missing
Spoon - I Turn My Camera On
Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime
Tickle Me Pink - Typical
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
VHS or Beta - Can't Believe a Single Word
Victims of Science - The Device Has Been Modified
and of course:
The Richter Scales - Here Comes Another Bubble

So that's about it for me today, this week, this month, however long it is before I next update my blog... hopefully won't be too long.
