On February 4, 2002, a young girl named Mara—later to be known as electricmonk —clicked around people's online diaries and stumbled upon a meme by one Polter-Cow , who used Our Lady Peace lyrics... who were probably also cool.

If you are interested in joining me in industrial rock electronica bliss, I pretty much have every NIN song there is, so let's talk
The first week of July, Cynda ( arbitrarium ) totally left California . But she missed me way too much to stay away for long!

Somehow. Go Southwest
Watch this fantastic Doctor Who vid set to "Handlebars" by Flobots. That is the Doctor, right there. Fighting evil so you don't have to. So the question becomes: why aren't you watching The Middleman...local comic book store and picking it up.

But, seriously, what's the point of making a Doom movie if you turn it from being about demons from Hell to being about SCIENCE GONE AWRY OMG
Serial Experiments Lain was the first anime I ever wanted to watch, and it's taken me something like seven years to get around to it. I remember seeing the box set in Emily and Shari's room, and it looked...supposed to. For the closer, I'm going to borrow from my dear duchessdogberry , who lists this as her favorite anime: Stop resisting and judging. Just give into it and let it wash over you.
