random musings
When I first heard the term 'drag race' I was about six or seven, and my first thought was "Wow, it's really mean to make a bunch of guys run around a track in dresses and high heels." I didn't realize that a drag race actually involved cars until I was almost out of middle school. I kind of prefer my version.
So I think I might be allergic to the handsoap that's put up in the dorm bathroom. My hands have been rather dry lately, and the past few days they've been really red and raw. I stopped using the soap in the bathroom in my dorm for a few days, and bought some of my own for my room, and my hands have been doing a lot better. Lotion has also helped. Still, I'm a bit concerned that soap is potentially making my hands just raw as hell.
Cybersix is fucking amazing. I didn't hear about this show until just a few hours ago, but I tracked it down and have watched a few episodes and oh my god. Awesome. There's only 13 episodes though, and I'm kind of scared of watching the whole thing because I know I'll get attached to it and just feel sad when it's over. I wonder if there are translations of the original Argentinian comics floating around somewhere?
Got done reading Blackest Night. Very awesome, and I really want to continue reading The Flash now. I'm a bit disappointed with the ending, but it was still very enjoyable. A good gateway comic, I think.

Something I've noticed, looking through my iPod in recent months, is that a lot of the music I listened to all the time in high school was indie stuff. I kind of tried to be a pretentious music snob for a while in high school, after I tried to be goth during middle school. Looking back, I realized both attempts were just me tried to fit in with a group of people, and I didn't really enjoy the kind of music I thought I was 'supposed' to. I'm actually very happy that Aqua popped up one day on Pandora, and that I went ahead and made an 80/90s Europop channel, because that always has kind of been my favorite genre. It's what I grew up with, and it makes me happy. I don't listen to it because I want the kind of people who do to like me, I listen because I want to. And that makes it so much better.
Though, my two favorite bands are still Jethro Tull and DeVotchKa, and I like them for pretentious snobby reasons, but I found them before I tried to be an indie-hipster whatever. They still make me happy, and I love listening to them.
