I love the internet!

What would it be like if your boss was a cat? The Adventures of Business Cat

Dog gets cracker stuck on nose, gets confused.



32 service workers who hilariously are not even pretending to try and care anymore. XD

Watch in amazement as somehow, a group of researchers is able to capture and extract sound from a video with the sound turned off, by minutely analyzing tiny waves and oscilations in the video pixels. It's crazy.

And last, brushing up on yoga-related vocabulary in Spanish. Vamos a sentarnos... con los ojos cerrados, respiren profundamente y lentamente, enfocando, visualizando las olas del mar.

It makes me want to dance! These beats are so smooth and dancable!

This song lightened up my mood and gave me chills. :)

This is TOO ADORABLE AND FUNNY.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH.

Yes, I was one of those band nerds. Band camp was an amazing experience for little homeschooled and socially-awkward yet exceedingly eager and energetic little me.

I played the drums, and I firmly believe they were (and still are) the best band instrument. I played concert band, which involved snare drum, bass drum, all the cymbals, various accessory percussion instruments, tonal instruments (xylophone, marimba, glockenspiel, wind chimes), and my fave -- the tympani. Seriously, no other instrument lets you have this much fun and variety -- plus you get to be really loud.

So anyway, band camp was pretty much the highlight of my pre-teen years. :) I loved going so much.

Comment to this post saying "FIVE!" and I will pick five things I would like you to talk about. They might make sense or be totally random.

Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself, hopefully for the rest of eternity!

Thanks to kseenaa and previous lj users for sharing this, and for asking me my five questions! Let's merrily perpetuate this! It's a fun one. :) kseenaa asked me about the future, fandoms, books, comics, and music.

I always noticed this in Screamin' on Humanoid City Live cd/dvd... Right at the transition from "but it hurts so/yeah it hurts so" to "top of the world/top of the world," there's a lag. Today on my drive home from work I replayed the part several times, listening and discerning for who is responsible for the lag. Just one member? Or the whole band?

Gustav's rhythm does not change in the least, so it's not him. (p.s. Gustav's part the entire song is really amazing, btw) And Georg's bass is solid like normal. Then who?

The twins!

So, the last line of the section Bill sings is "yeah, it hurts so." He sang that part a little delayed. Sometimes he does that to make it emotional sounding. But he may only do that on a word or syllable or two... In contrast, Bill's entire line here is delayed, every word.

Then Gustav's lovely tom-tom boom bada boom part. The moment in the next section where the "top of the world's" begin, Tom comes in a fraction too late! The rest of his notes are perfectly in time though.

So my conclusion is that Bill was late for whatever reason, and Tom was paying attention to Bill and not to the more reliable (sorry, Bill) Gustav and Georg... and so Tom was late too. Both twins being late contributes to the sensation of a short lag. I think their little twin delay is cute!

It happens from 2:42 to 2:48. When you watch the video, it's less noticeable -- but if you close your eyes and just listen, the lag is easily perceptible.



I love how well TH does live! They really do well live, don't get me wrong. Playing live is hard -- trust me, I know. Out of all the HCL cd/dvd, this lag in Screamin' is one of the more obvious mistakes (not counting all of Bill's flat notes). The other one is the last word in "Noise," which is sang too early (again, Bill) but at least it's in tune! :D It sucks when the last note in a song is out of tune. So there's always a silver lining! Bill, it's ok -- have a cookie. I'm not mad at you.

I found these hiding in my itunes. Hello, old friends!

I had the biggest crush on this guy. His voice is amazing. The chorus is so good; "Give me your air for one more day so that I might breathe, a ray of light that makes me shine and kills the loneliness."

This song rules my life right now.

In the original, Taeyang's part starting at 2:30 kills me for some reason. I think it's the emotion he sings with, or maybe it's just his voice timbre.

There's nothing too odd about this video. It demonstrates a modified barium swallow study. But what made me and the rest of the class laugh was the background music. I hadn't heard this song in years! XD The Middle, by Jimmy Eat World; Orchestral version. Wth?



There was also this video, in which the phrase "naughty epiglottis" is used. What a naughty epiglottis!
