Hmm.

“aklikins.livejournal.com” has a robots.txt in its root.
However, “www.livejournal.com/users/aklikins/” does not.

thats kind of lame.

Didn’t do much over the weekend. Aside from buying
random crap. Hit a few used cd and book stores.
Pick up 10 books, even managed to read half of
them already. Half a dozen cd’s as well, mostly
stuff I’ve heard more about than actually heard.

So just for kicks:

John Paul Jones/Zooma: Only 3/4 of the way though
this atm, and it is still roughly 300% better than
the combined output of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page
post zeppelin.

Jesus Lizard/Show: not bad, sounds like it be
fun live. The mathy songs are the best ones, but
then, thats just me.

Hawkwind/In The Beginning: a very very low
(sub bootleg) quality hawkwind live show
from early 70’s. Pretty cool otherwise though,
might try to pick up some studio stuff.

Tar/Over and Out: cool, kind of reminds me
a little of the nosier bits of jawbox

Sugar/Beaster: I like it, huge guitar sounds.

Einstarzende Neubauten/Haus der Luege: I like
it. Which I suppose is good, since I’ve got
tickets to see them live.

Bang On A Can/Industry: very cool

Peter Gabriel/1: good, but I’ll probabaly
never actually listen to it again

Mind Over 4/?: bought based on a vague
memory of a record review I read maybe 15
years ago. Sort of vaguely postcore influenced
alt metal (aka, you can tell these guys liked
quicksand and faith no more). Bleah. Not so hot.

On closer listening, this John Paul Jones freaking
rules.

ugh. More snow.

So I’m browsing amazon, in a buying mood, picking off a few items on
the wish list and what not, and take a look at one of recomendations
it offers having throwing Symbol Sourcebook by Henry Dreyfuss in the
“cart”.

The suggestion is for
Dictornary Of Symbols. I take a look “inside the book”, looks kind of
interesting, but only a page or two of real content.

But then I notice a bad review from Raleigh of all places. And I recognize the
name even!

Small world, etc, etc.

It occured to me that I don’t really have any good pictures of
my self for friendster/orkut/ the like. So I started trawling about.
Didn’t find any good pictures (not sure any exist) but I did remember
a couple various drawings some friends of mine have done at
various points.

Personal favorite:

The latter was sketched out on the back of cocktail napkin
original, so excuse the small size.
