Trompe Le Monde by The Pixies

Trompe Le Monde is in my opinion the best Pixies album, but in pretty much everybody else's opinion the worst. Maybe it's the nostalgia factor, since I heard it first of all their albums, and still have the tape floating around somewhere in this apartment next to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original motion picture soundtrack. Whatever the case may be, it's a great album, if a little angrier and sloppier than their others. I feel like with a little work I could work in a great "your mom" joke there, but I've been grading standardized tests all day so cut me some slack.

Being All Tired and Shit

No one likes being all tired and shit. Like when you stay up all night drinking with Russian figure skaters, and then go to an NHL game, and then write, like, a 25 page paper in 2 days, and then you stay up until the wee hours of the morning watching Dexter online for a bunch of days in a row, and all of the sudden it's 11:50 on Thursday night and you're not in bed, you're writing a shitty self-indulgent post on your friends' blog like people actually care how you waste your stupid time. I guess it beats eating peanuts and crying while sitting in a bathtub full of cold water. I don't know if anyone's ever really done that but it's fucking pathetic.
