Trent Reznor spoils Million Dollar Baby

Heee. It's funny to watch celebrities being brats.

I didn't watch the Oscars last night. Although I remembered later that I should have watched for Orlando Bloom; [livejournal.com profile] jaydk was all excited that he was presenting. And Johnny Depp, of course, I should've seen. But it's really not worth wasting hours of your life for a couple of minor glimpses of celebrities.

I was channel surfing the other day, and came across this FOX show "Celebrities Without Makeup." I was so stunned by the horror that I actually watched an entire segment. Afterward I wanted very badly to scrub my brain out with a very harsh scrubbing brush. It's put me off TV for at least a month, I think. Well, except the Daily Show. (I missed one last week and there was no rerun. Goddammit, Comedy Central, you suck!)

I'm still at work, finishing a project and dreading walking home in the blizzard. *sigh*

I just got a video in the mail, ordered through eBay, of a live performance of a Japanese band called Schwein Schaft, featuring Raymond Watts, from 1994. Looking forward to going home and watching that.

My coworker stopped by my desk today and asked me what I was listening to. I saw "Uhm..... a band called Pig, which is a project from an occasional member of KMFDM, which is a fairly popular industrial rock band."

*blank stare*

Yeah, I'm weird.

[livejournal.com profile] dizenchanted just called and she wants me to post pics of us with Tripp. (Oh, you screwed up girl!) I'll try and remember to do that when I get home...

When [livejournal.com profile] 10zlaine was here last weekend, I showed her videos of different bands. She quite liked KMFDM (hee! my evil plan to seduce her to the dark side is coming to fruition!) I think NIN disturbed her, though. I showed her some videos from "Closure," including "Happiness in Slavery." I forgot how graphic that is, if you haven't seen it a million times. (It's this naked guy getting tortured by this machine and then killed and ground up into mush.) I mean, it's a mainstream video compilation that you can buy in any Best Buy. I should've shown her the "Broken" video. (I got that off the internet when I was 12; some guy gave it to me free in exchange for me buying one of his band's CDs, which sucked.) I don't remember much about that video, except that it's where I learned what "fist fuck" meant.

And yet, funnily enough, the stuff I read from all you seemingly harmless fanfic writers tends to be much more graphic and fucked up than anything I've seen in any industrial music video. The "Broken" video is nothing compared to some of the Angelus/William fic out there....

Not so much disturbed in a sense of shock--just in the sense of bringing thoughts to the forefront of consciousness. I mean, I watch weird shit all the time...like things about cojoined twins, and surgeries, and specials about Fetus in Fetu, and watching the x-files "home" episode.

I just spend so much time either simply *not* or deliberately not thinking about inordinary things that when I do see or read about them, I'm not prepared. Don't get me wrong, though. I'm far too perverted enough to be unusually interested in them--probably why I don't actually let my mind go there...

Fact be stated--Crumb is far more vile than anything we've seen in a great while.

Hee. Yeah, you got me on that one. Crumb takes the cake.
