Death rock, literally...
so i was a nerd today and decided to listen to a little NPR on my drive home from work. i switch over when none of the radio music grabs me and i don't feel like listening to one of my old CDs. anyway, that's irrelevant. what does matter is that dimebag darryl died today. if you asked who, then i'll connect the dots for you. death rocker dimebag darryl abbott of pantera and damage plan fame. yep, he was performing at a concert in ohio (i think) and some crazy guy ran onto the stage and shot him several times at point blank range right in the chest. then he opened fire on several other people and ended up killing 4 or 5 people total that night. i think one of the other guys shot or even killed was a police officer. my guess for motive? insane nut job. he ended up getting shot in the head by police. now i guess everything's just speculation for why it happened. mayhem said apparently some people are theorizing that it had something to do with the anniversary of john lennon's murder, and that it was strangely similar. killed by a fan, shot in the chest, on the same day. anyway, i was never a major fan of theirs or anything, but it still sucks. and what a crappy way to die.
i'm a little disappointed today. here's why:
1) i realized that the virtual model thing isn't very accurate. after i made the mini me, i tested the boundaries. i made a woman who was 4'11" and 350 lbs. she looked like big gwenyth on shallow hal. not big enough. i mean, that short and that big, she would be way less defined and way bigger. plus there was not a dimple of cellulite on her. so then i made her 6'4" and 50 lbs. should have looked like a skeleton with a thin layer of skin, but no... she had big boobs, no ribs showing, no stick legs, nothing. so not entirely accurate on the extremes, but otherwise fairly good.
ok, i have been trying to write this for awhile now. once again, my to do list is way bigger than i am. i had to bake a few dozen cookies tonight, clean off the counter enough to have space to cook, clean the fireplace, oh lordy there's so much to do. and tomorrow's a busy day too. i have to go into work again and buy more crap at the store because i did a half-assed job today, even though i thought i got all the necessary stuff. and i have to go out that night. so i'll be running around tomorrow and unable to harrass any of you at work ;) i know it'll be hard to make it through the day without me. anyway, i'll be sending you all love even if i'm not posting up to par tomorrow. love you guys!!
The official stuff...
