payday
"It's payday today and I'm gonna spend money on a bottle of booze to bring home to my honey." - KMFDM ("Money")
It's finally Friday, and more importantly...payday. Without going into too much detail, let me just say, "oh man. I'm glad it's finally here." So, just before logging off my computer I decided to create a little Friday playlist (or paylist - if you're into really bad puns).
There's probably a ton of other money related songs I could've put on the list, but the trick is actually making a decent playlist. There's the Dire Straits song - which is technically #3 on the playlist with the remix of Deep Dish's "Flashdance". And then there's the obvious Abba song and the theme from The Apprentice, but I don't actually have those songs in my library or could honestly stand listening to them for more than a minute. Furthermore, I purposely left off "Friday, I'm In Love" by The Cure since it makes go into psychitzoid embelisms.

There's no way the two clumsy, heavy-handed references to the Geronimo Jackson album wasn't some important or ridiculous clue. Maybe The Others (or the scruffy people we think are The Others) are the band, and Walt is the last musician they needed to complete their revival album. "The boy is very special" could easily mean, "The boy plays a mean blues harp."
Seriously, there's been some subtle/hidden references to stories like Gilgamesh, The Third Policeman, and Turn of the Screw. But, the Geronimo Jackson thing was just so forced. Anyway, I'm hoping it's a really awesome Jimmy Buffet satire like "Coconut Pete" from Club Dread, that would make this show a bijillion times better.
Or it could just be a red herring...

Google Deadpool (or whatever it's actually called)
This thing's been around for a little while, I guess. But I was recently introduced to it by my pal, Bryan. Since then, I've been seeing it all over MySpace and on various blogs.
Basically, you do a Google search to see how you die. Type in "name was killed by" (be sure to put your first name in there , and use the ""'s so it'll work correctly) and then it'll tell you what morbid fate is in your future or a prallel universe or something. You can get varied results by applying your last name or nickname, as well.
How did I fare?

LL Robot! My IPOD hates me. It's because it's a Robot! It is fighting me every step of the way. It feels like a little dying salamander in the palm of my hand when it "whrrrs" around, looking for The Candy Cane Incident. I had to take it to the Vet at the Apple Store today, because it froze up and didn;t want to play that Reload song with the catchy chorus. Boo! Robots!
OH man.
I better look into that.
I put them in my iPod, but never actually watched them after that.
Hope the iPod is okay!
I'll poke around and see what happens.
Mike was killed by the very people he liberated.
Car accident. Which also, incidentally, is one of my biggest fears. So that's awesome. In other news, "Cash Machine" by Hard-Fi is a rad payday song. I highly recommend.
Elise gets killed by whatever is out there. (WTF?)
"Mac was killed by a bomb intended for him several years ago." or, OR, if I use my legal name (which would show up in an obituary) "Lee was killed by a group of kung fu experts". Either way, I have made enemies. Powerful ones it seems.
"Greg was killed by a bull dozer."
That's gruesome! Remind me to stay away from construction sites!
"However, Brett found that the embryo had grown into a full-grown warrior alien, and Brett was killed by it."
I'm not sure if Denise was killed by someone who hated her or someone who wanted
to keep her silent about something she had learned..... very interesting ...
"John was killed by our own rockets fired from a plane
on Saipan"

Teaches me to watch my back and stay out of Saipan, where ever that is.
I don't get it ... when I put "Jason was killed by" in Google, I get all these other stories about other people ... not me. Am I too stupid to read your blog?
"Jonathan was killed by a mysterious man called 'The Shadow Master.'"
Ah, so that's why that shadowy guy keeps looking at me every time I go into the gas station...he wants to kill me!
Andy was killed by a demon when he burst into Halliwell Manor, gun drawn. Awesome.
Doesn't it bug the hell out of you that iTunes thinks that KMFDM is spelled "K.M.F.D.M."?
Bill was killed by the Alexandria, VA, Animal Welfare League.
