Mute Math

I am not a fan of Mute Math, but they really just have the most KICK ASS video ever. Check it out here. Note how everything is backward, but the singer and the drummer are playing along. So awesome. The sad part is that their music probably sounds better backward. Coldplay did a similar video a while ago but Coldplay makes my ears bleed with boredom. Whenever I hear them I think, oh dear, it’s you again. I thought we got rid of you, but here you are, with that voice. I don’t trust men with voices that high. They are hiding something. I love how people used to say that Coldplay was the new Radiohead which was so stupid because Radiohead is the new Radiohead.

This weekend I am going camping with a bunch of people, some I know, most I don’t, to Lake George, which is in upstate New York. I am presuming by the name that there is a lake involved. Which means various kinds of wildlife, all of which will want to bite me and give me hives and possibly an infection. I am so allergic to nature that I’m surprised that I actually agreed to this camping business. If you are ever need bug repellant, then just keep me around. Everything will ignore you and just hang out on me like I’m some kind of insect discoteque. Anyway I figure it’ll be good for me to go see some nature so I can understand my enemy.

I went camping a few years ago in Maine with some friends and around the same time some crazyperson in Maine was hiding in/under women’s port-a-potties on campgrounds so he could look up their skirts. There are so many things wrong with that I can’t even start. I mean really. There is some idiom in Taiwanese that is said about “special” people which loosely translates to “someone has to marry him/her.” In other words, there is someone for everyone. So if you want to look up a woman’s skirt, just ask. She may say yes, you never know. Haha. Anyway, the point is that the whole thing really freaked me out but then all the mosquitos bit the crap out of me so I forgot about the latrine lunatic all together.

    I can’t stand Coldplay, either, but I don’t think The Beatles is overrated.

    I don’t think I’ve ever been camping and not had to go to the hospital after.

    Aubrey: Word. I feel like they should just put nature inside a hospital to make it more convenient.

  6. annie:
