Alex's Alliterative Adventures

Thoughts on Programming, Life, and Travel

That song is like a virus!

I’ve played Coldplay’s “Fix You” from the X & Y album at least 10 times today, and it’s going on 20.  There’s just something about that song that really captures a feeling of being complete defenseless and broken, and having a helping hand pull you to your feet. That might be its use in Scrubs, but who knows.

I don’t understand.  Coldplay is usually at best tolerable. The guitar solo is a stereotypically shitty Coldplay guitar solo, and yet… that descending vocal melody perfectly incites the feeling of falling to your knees in utter abandon.

My world is breaking apart. Also, I hate the internet here.  I’m tempted to start drawing a comic each morning, because it would be faster than waiting for my morning funny pages to load.

PS. latex (the document preparation system, not the anti-baby system, that stuff is awesome) sucks monkey balls, and don’t let anyone tell you any different.

edit: It has been pointed out to me that my post seemed melodramatic.  The reason that my world is breaking apart is because I like a coldplay song, nothing more.  Although, that IS a fairly significant thing.  Overall, life is pretty kickass.

    haha, “sucks monkey balls” -> A new sentence for me 😉

    As soon as you get real balls you will be able to use latex like a real man, hehehe. Just kidding…

    I’m glad I can enrich your view of english culture, felix 😉

    Latex would be absolutely phenomenal if it was wysiwyg. If there does exist a wysiwyg editor for latex, then I’m sold.
