Lateralus

Oh dear. I really never thought I'd see someone quote Alister McGrath. The man is an idiot. Clearly he knows his theology, but he gets battered into the ground every time I hear him speak.

God, Liverpool just break my heart sometimes.

Calvin Harris is really bad.

Just finished the original 1818 text of Frankstein so I can do an analysis for university. Frankenstein as an allegory for British colonialism in India... What?

I don't have any problems saying no, but I'll only really refuse with reason.

15 watts tube or solid state? If it's solid state then the drums are going to kill it every time. 15 watts tube should be plenty loud.

Just got all the Beatles remasters. Listening to Dear Prudence from The White Album just now. Sounds damn good.

I think it's essential to test your opinions in order to have any real belief in them.

I'd go see The Beatles, The Velvet Underground and a few other choice bands. I'd also go to Paris in the 1940's-1950's and have a drink with Ernest Hemingway and Albert Camus in Le Deux Magots.

You clearly don't get what I said. I underlined "Step 1: Find a Bible. A house without one is a sad house." and in response to that statement I posted that we weren't all raised Christian. Ergo, we might not have a Bible in our house. He replied exactly to what you said. I'm not a Christian and I always keep a Bible on my bookshelf. Firstly because it's almost impossible to understand a huge chunk of Western society (historically, sociologically, and especially in terms of literature) without one and secondly because it's important to know your enemy. "The unbeliever knows his Koran best."

John Lennon - Nobody Told Me What a song.

I'm more into albums than playlists. I am extremely thankful for the On The Go feature on the iPod, but the playlists are always changing and there's nothing I'd be bothered about losing.

But doesn't the fact that most people use it in a different way kind of change the definition over time? Irony is almost impossible to define (though despite this I would say Hex's definition is dead wrong).

I get the same thing from Arrivederci Roma (no idea why) and Well, Did You Ever! from High Society. I love that movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PEVkdcza9c

As far as I can tell, it's an old classical guitar and should be strung with nylon strings. Are you sure the lower 3 strings are actually steel? These strings look metallic in nylon sets too because they're metal plated and wound (usually with copper).

I think, provided that the 'bashing' is respectful, it would be nice to see it to a certain extent. An argument that might open a few minds seems better to me than forced silence and therefore forced ignorance.

Two Gallants - Steady Rollin' Also I've been digging Straight to You by Nick Cave. Favourite songs are fleeting for me though. I have a new one every week or month.

Johnny (actually Joe) does ask to be killed, but he's asking doctors - do you actually expect them to do it?

I'm actually pretty good at everything I'd like to be. I think I could learn to do just about anything without any unexpected difficulty.

Did he really die at the end? The implication is that he lives out a full life in his condition.

Did you read the book? Yeah, I read it a few years ago. I didn't much care for it, but the idea is horrifying.

Yeesh, necro.

http://www.usingenglish.com/resources/letter-writing.html That should clear things up for you.

Johnny Got His Gun.

I think I'm slightly more respectable. Not because my opinions or manners are any different, but because nobody here has seen me fall or vomit in a drunken stupor.
