The shirt is cool...if only

it fit me!

I'm supposed to do something with this shirt when I give out Disturbed stuffs schwag at Uproar next month. The idea was for me to wear it...well as you can see by the pics that wearing it is out of the question...

The sleeves are too long on purpose. It's supposed to resemble a straightjacket. The album's called Asylum, after all!

This is the problem: the shirt is an XS, and I am not!

this is what's on the back of the shirt.

Check out my funky straightjacket shirt I can't wear and my equally, yet differently, funky shower curtain!

If I could direct you to my other blog for a moment...

I just posted a little thing about Disturbed's second single, the title track "Asylum".

There are two YouTube videos there. The first one is the song itself (NOT the official video, that won't be out for a bit yet); the second is lead vocalist David Draiman explaining the meaning of the song, and the duality of the word "asylum".

The song "Asylum" isn't due out until next Tuesday (7/20), but I now have it on my phone because I got a free download from Disturbed's official website.

The singles are nice, but dammit! I want the whole freakin' album! August 31st couldn't get here soon enough!

Since the last post...

Incredible stuff has happened that I thought I'd share...

First and foremost: I'm finally out of my old apartment! I turned in the keys on June 29th, and spent most of the time since then unpacking stuff... and unfortunately, having nowhere to put it. I have no drawers in either my kitchen or bathroom, so extra stuff is getting thrown out by the trashbagfulls.

Secondly, more stuff on my favorite band's new album has been revealed, like the album art. Check this bad boy out:



This is Disturbed's mascot, "The Guy", and this is his third appearance on the cover of an album. The artwork was done by Raymond Swanland. The album will drop (be released) on August 31st.

And, of course, there was the 4th of July--- the rainy 4th of July. It cleared up in time to see the fireworks from UCO... from the parking lot of my apartment complex! I love living two blocks from campus!

Now, it's July and I have stuff I need to accomplish... like making sure my oldest son gets enrolled for the fall semester before all the good classes he needs are gone!

*sigh*

I didn't get the memo, er, email...

that there wasn't class today. So I came anyway.

I should check my UCO email account more often than every once in a while.

In other news...

I signed the lease on a new apartment this afternoon. I am so stoked!

It's closer to campus-- I could walk there-- and close to a lot of other things. The public library. Various businesses on Second Street and Broadway. The post office. I'm centrally located, and that's nice.

And, I'm on the second floor.

I can start moving in on Friday!

The assignment we were emailed that is due tomorrow--

I follow two blogs that interest me. One is the personal blog of a friend of mine named Johanna. We met years ago when we were both working in a call center in Virginia for QVC. After we both left the company, we lost touch for a few years, but about 5 years ago we reconnected through our blogs. You can read "Hannie's Musings 8.0" here. She talks about local politics in her home state of Washington a lot, but there's stuff about her family and friends and surviving Hurricane Katrina.

The second blog is the one that's associated with the Disturbed forum I frequent. This one is called Morbus Rising. "Morbus" is the Latin word for "sickness". "The Sickness" was the name of Disturbed's first album that was released in 2000.

Since the band is getting ready to release their fifth album ("Asylum") in August, the blog has seen a lot more posting content, and a few new followers. It mostly contains news about the band, its members, their music, and tour information.

There was something else I was going to write about, but I can't remember. If it's important, it will come back to me.
