Rush Are Coming

My favorite band of all time is Rush. I have been a big fan of other bands, like The Beatles, AC/DC, Mindless Self Indulgence, and even that awful period when I used to listen to Nickelback. But, after being introduced to Rush in high school, I have stuck by them like foot odor in Geddy Lee's Converse. Oh, and I have a huge crush on Geddy Lee, and I'm not afraid to say it. If I ever met him, I could die peacefully, knowing that I would never be as happy as I was in that moment. Wow, that's a tad creepy. Anyway... Rush is currently on tour, and while Spock and I most likely won't make it to their concert in our area, which is in early July, we will be going to the one-night-only Rush documentary that hits theaters on June 10th. Yes, it's next week, and we are just... freaking OUT right now. Also, on June 1st, Rush released two songs, Caravan and BU2U, from their upcoming album, Clockwork Angels. Spock's dad gave him an iTunes card for Christmas, which was regifted to me, since I am a total iTunes whore, so I put two and two together and bought the songs. They are awesome. You will listen to them.
In the spirit, not of radio, but of my recent obsession with Cracked.com, I ran a search for articles about Rush. While most of the articles I found are quite negative, I'll still share them, as it is every Rush fan's duty to learn that nearly everybody either hates or has never heard of Rush. Sometimes both.

Just as an aside, I wonder how many Rush fans absolutely despise Rush Limbaugh. That fat bastard makes it almost impossible to run a search on Rush. He's freakin' everywhere! Oh, well. When Limbaugh is dead and forgotten, we will always have the dulcet tones of Lee, Lifeson, and Peart. Amen, Rushians.

P.S. Also, the Rush Hour movies... Very annoying when looking for band news of a maple-y nature.

Bitchin' in the Kitchen

I bet you didn't know that there was a sequel to my favorite movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. There is, and it's a hellish, weird-ass piece of film. In fact, the only reason it can be classified as a "sequel" is because Brad and Janet are central characters. They aren't even played by the same people, though! As far as I could see, only three actors were retained: Richard O'Brien, naturally; Patricia Quinn, and the guy who played the criminologist. Oh, the title... The title of the movie is Shock Treatment. It was made in 1981, six years after the original cult classic. And, despite it being absolutely abhorrent, I'd love to watch it again, if I could find a decent copy. And, I would love for it to be on DVD; the VHS copy I borrowed from the library, I suspect, is an original copy.
For now, though, I need to detox from that movie, and the best place to do that I Youtube. Therefore, I give you...

Ouch on Ice

My sisters are both in Girl Scouts, and one of the county leaders organized an ice skating trip. The funny thing is, the ice arena is right next to my school. Despite that, I'd not been there prior to today. I had a decent amount of fun, but I fell down an awful lot, so I'm still kind of bitter.
For that reason, today's list...

Less QQ, More Pew-Pew

World Religions class, if it is good for nothing else, is a source of great entertainment. For example, we just began the chapter on Christianity, and learned that the Gospels [i.e. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John] were written, with the possible exception of John, by a person identified only as Q. As I told Spock, I was completely Trekking out. For those of you who are unaware, Q is a character from Star Trek. I am still fairly new at being a Trekker, so I looked him up on Memory Alpha, the Star Trek wiki that I am so desperately fond of. Have fun with that.

And now, for a list.
