Was looking up Teardrop by Massive Attack on wikipedia since I just downloaded the version they played in the House finale, and...
Canadian rockers Our Lady Peace covered the song in live performances.
DO. FUCKING. WANT.
Edit: WHOA, FOUND. SURREAL. Oh, Raine Maida, you and your ridiculous voice warbling. <3
Also, I finished the novel we have to read for English, which saves me a teeny bit of stress. Doesn't change the fact I need to get a presentation together in six days and then turn in a five page English paper and a 15-20 page Anthropology paper on the same day a week after. D8 ahhhhhhhhh i am going to diiiiiiiiieeeeeee
For the linguistic anthropology paper, I know I definitely want to focus on internet language in regards to more literate social networking sites like LJ, (like, how English gets butchered on this side of the internet for the sake of expressiveness and satire rather than shorthand practicality) among other things, but um... I... need help fleshing out that idea into something I can write about. I was wondering if I include something about online RP and how we writers need to discern between OOC cues and IC cues, as well as changes in writing styles, since during the course of my research I read this pretty interesting anthro article on the use of "I" in reference to someone's character in tabletop roleplay and sci-fi convention stuff.
ANYWAY. ANY IDEAS? SHOOT 'EM AT ME; I NEED THEM. ...please. .__. The good thing about studying the internet is that I have a wealth of archived examples at my fingertips, but the downside is that I can easily make myself look like an idiot if my rambly essay sounds like... well, the ramblings of a self-indulgent internet retard. The project is pretty free in terms of subject matter so long as we have research and evidence and write in an ethnographic article format, so um... yes.
Also, I am so sad I have to go on hiatus at
damned and goddamn do I wanna work on that Supernatural fic. ;____;
