In the past three weeks, I’ve spent $39 on stuff over the Internet.

None of it has arrived.

I am starting to become just a little pissed off with the service I’m getting here; rather, I’m getting annoyed with the fact that I’m receiving absolutely no responses from anyone.

For one of the items, the store says it’s shipped, but the guy hasn’t responded in 5-6 days. If it’s from Toronto, it should be here by now. I’m willing to give a few days more before calling etc.

For the other thing, well, it hasn’t been here since I ordered it. No response from the artist at all, and hell, no notice of shipment. Was I just conned out of $7? I don’t get it.

Gah. I’m just frustrated.

They have an article on the Obama family’s dog. It’s incredibly in-depth. It even has a spiffy…’portrait’?

The ’80s.

SERIOUSLY they’re gumming up my tracked tags

Now I feel like I’m behind the times.

I thought it was a good day for biking. It’s way too cold for my hands to bear and the wind was against me whatever direction I went. It wasn’t just a little breeze, either.

I keep emailing this online store about the shirt they’re sending as a replacement for the out of stock one.

I feel like an asshole sending stuff like “any updates?” on the second day with no reply but it’s strange how responses have seemed to die out.

Ughh I bet they think I’m obsessed or a freak or something but I want to keep track of this, it’s money I don’t want to lose.

I just realised I’ve never explained the title of this website.

This song is “Dark and Metric”, by They Might Be Giants. It’s a song about an isolated town from the viewpoint of a pessimistic citizen. He obviously hates it there by the way he describes the lifestyle of everyone. He’s never left, and never done anything worthwhile. This is all he knows, but he considers it dreary.

I find it fitting, given my location and own life, to use it as a title.

Can anyone recommend a Lovecraft story?

Broken Bells - October

I don’t want this to turn into a music blog (there’s been at least 5 audio posts in the last week), but this track is an accurate representation of my mood, I think.

Nothing really today. It’s a little ridiculous how I have three projects due within the next 6 days, all dealing with Aboriginal people, but I can deal with it.

Maybe it’s because my mind’s…somewhere else…

Carry On by Treelines

I don’t understand how they can be so good, so catchy, so everything, but have so few fans. It’s boggling.

What’s even weirder is that with their small fanbase, they still sell shirts. That’s dedication.

Part two of the “laughing at myself” saga, “Do you have Katherine on MSN?” is an improvised tirade using, you said it, the Ultimate Showdown instrumental.

It’s definitely retarded (circa grade eight).
