Revelation

Blasting Nazi Punks, Fuck Off when you have all the windows and doors open to cool the house down is perhaps not the done thing in my staid little suburban neighborhood.

But maybe it ought to be.

Memes for the Blogless

As a public service, I present the soundtrack of Blogless Zach's life:

See below though for the soundtrack of my life. I rather like how it turned out in a few places. My "breaking up" is a little surreal, and my "final battle scene" seems a bit off. But my "mental breakdown" and "getting back together" are pretty damn cool, and my "death scene" imported from Run Lola Run is gonna fuckin' rock!

Opening Credits - "Loser" (Cracker)
Waking Up - "Smashed to Splinters" (Pete Krebs)
First Day of School - "One by One All Day" (The Shins)
Fight Song - "Woke from Dreaming" (The Delgados)
Breaking Up - "Closing Time" (The Muppet Show)
Happiness - "Crazy He Calls Me" (Aretha Franklin)
Life's Okay - "I Don't Want Him Anymore" (Nina Simone)
Mental Breakdown - "Yesterday When I Was Mad" (The Pet Shop Boys)
Driving - "Angels" (Robbie Williams)

Also, I seem to have a lot of Bowie at work.
