I'm really digging the choruses on BH&R right now. Exo, Assassin, Soldier's Poem, KOC...some of the best Matt + Chris harmonies are on that album. Also, Showbiz! (the song)
-
Yeah, I wouldn't go to one of the public pools. Bleh. We rent a house with a pool (that just got resurfaced, yay).
Humidity is so nasty when there is no rain! The other day I just wanted to curl up with an ice pack or something, it was awful.

I got a job
, so my summer is over. That's okay. I have money now, and I can still go swimming at night.As for the World Cup...I think most Argies were waiting for the moment when Maradona's dream team would come crashing out, but after the first few games we sort of forgot they had no defense and got all excited.
Still, it's better to lose 4-0 to a clearly better team, than to lose on penalties like in 2006. Argentina 2011, London 2012, and Brasil 2014, here we come! -
You're welcome.

I haven't posted since PCT 8. Must...rectify. I bring you a third dose of tiny, headbanging Chris. These are all new and have been sitting in my Chris Gifs folder for weeks. Unnatural Selection (Seattle)

I'm working for Aetna. My title according to HR is Network Representative, but that's just because they are lazy and don't change the job descriptions. I'm the newbie on the Provider Data Management team, and I'll be doing quality control and reports for the state's Medicaid program. It's not a "programming" job, per se, but I'll get some industry experience and use lots of SQL. Now that I'm in, it'll be easier to transfer to an IT department...and hopefully one in some other state.
Aetna is very open to WAH (Work-at-Home).I'm going to be haunting TicketMaster and MuseBay as well, since I had no money when the SoCal tickets went on sale. As much as I'd love GA, if I drag my father along he won't go for it. He's very uncomfortable in seats, at least at USAC (He's 6'0 and 250 pounds), but I doubt he'll want to stand in the back for the whole show, and there is no way he'd line up all afternoon. It depends on when we drive in or fly in anyway--probably the latter, because I don't have much accrued PTO.
I did think of a Pictionary court at one time. Perhaps we should have a vote, or have people self-nominate like we did.
Some people (I won't name names) seem to hang out on the board all day, so they'd be perfect for it. They can hold down the fort when we're not around. -
I have noticed...and I couldn't believe how the thread got all screwed up.
You leave people alone for a few days and everything goes to hell in a handbasket. I'm just getting used to my new work schedule...and mourning for the World Cup final that we're not going to play...and turning my father into a Muser (Seriously. Now he's all sorry that he didn't come to the Phoenix show with me. I'm trying to convice him to fly out to San Diego in September, if I can hunt down some decent tickets, and save up the money for the flight and hotel.
I haven't told him that the possibility of hearing Dead Star at the show is about 0.0000899%).Anyway, I'll probably barge into the thread tomorrow and see if I can impose some kind of order. You do the same, O Pictionary King. You have the *authority*.

On Tuesday, I set my alarm clock for 5:30. When it went off, I heard Neutron Star Collision. It took me a while to realize that it was the radio and not my iPod. This is the same Phoenix radio station that Matt and Dom took over back in April (x103.9).
-
I introduced my 53-year-old dad to Muse last week, and now he's hooked on Stockholm Syndrome. As a result, I play it more often and "rediscovered" its awesomeness. Also, the HAARP version of Invincible is made of win.
-
The Hullabaloo version of Citizen Erased. I heard it just now and almost cried at the end. The album version never got that reaction from me, so it was a bit weird.
-
I know. It just reminds me of Muse. My dad is playing The Groove on his iPod.
-
I think I heard Man with a Harmonica in an Adidas commercial on ESPN today. I must be going insane, right? (My mother would not be quiet both times, so I can't confirm.)
-
Ah, I saw "student" in your bio and assumed U of A. Whoops!
It's great that you made it to the Tucson gig, at least. I heard it was pretty much a shorter version of what we got in Phoenix, minus the towers. I didn't make it to Tucson, but US Airways was my first Muse concert, so I was super excited despite the short setlist.
Audio engineering! That's pretty specific; all the high school kids I know end up as "exploratory" majors for a couple of years. Not that it matters much until you get all the core requirements out of the way (Sociology, lol). I majored in Computer Information Systems and minored in German.
-
What are you studying? I graduated in December (worst time ever), so I've been looking for a job ever since. Finally got an offer, but the waiting and constant rejection sucked.
Good thing I had enough money saved to buy my Muse tickets in April. Did you make it to the USAC gig?
-
I know, right? Perfect time for the pool to need resurfacing.
Waitaminute...Tucson? As in, U of A? Good thing I never cared about this silly ASU/UA rivalry.

You have an amazing username.
Do you by any chance tell bad jokes about meat, or carry a sword made of "space rock"? -
Hola! Vi que sos de Argentina. Yo tambien, aunque vivo en los E.E.U.U. hace mucho tiempo.
Saludos

The best part is Aang's freaked-out face in the corner.
I see your ravin' Sokka...and I raise you:

No te preocupes, a mi me encanta encontrar argentinos por acá, especialmente ahora que estoy tan lejos. :'( Que suerte que viste a Muse en el Gran Rex! Yo vivo en los E.E.U.U. desde el '97, asi que me perdí la gira por sudamerica, y los gringos son una manga de amargos!!! El concierto de Phoenix fue deprimente, nadie saltaba, nadie cantaba.
Bueno, un gusto conocerte.
Nos vemos por ahi, especialmente si andás por Main Muse. -
Oh, boo hoo.
At least you could see Dom's sticks. From my spot, Dom himself was smaller than my thumb. I gave up trying to take pictures and dedicated myself to dancing and singing instead, which worked out pretty well.Perhaps you'll get lucky and Muse will have polls for you to pick the songs. You'll get NSC anyway, but maybe they'll throw in Citizen Erased or Bliss. It hasn't happened yet and I'm already jealous. I need to get a job in Southern Cali quick!

The Abso Tour version of Sunburn!!! Matt just destroyed that piano, and I can't look away! Now I wanna hear it live!

How is your summer so far?
