The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

After seeing that bit of the film "Taqwacore", I remembered that I used to check out a website called arabianmetal.com.

I'm kinda' bummed that the website is no longer around. (It started to get a lot of viruses, unfortunately).

However, I did find another site which listed one person's fave Middle Eastern metal bands with some links, on metalstorm.net:

A few nights ago, I was flipping through the channels, and came upon what I thought was the most bizarre film ever. I only caught the last 10 minutes or so, but I watched it to its conclusion.

It waa about a huge house full of Muslims living on the east coast - mostly college students, from what I could gather. Some were average-looking students, some were the religious types (wearing traditonal Muslim dress) and a majority of them were crazy-assed punks. Needless to say, the different factions got into it, with the religious guys moving out...only to come back later and get into a huge fight with the punks, while they were having a big house party with live bands, mosh pit, and a girl wearing a burqa going around giving guys head...I kid you not. (When she actually spat some guy's wad into the face of the leader of the religious guys, all hell broke loose). I think the lead punk guy - who wore a red mohawk - got killed in the melee.

The film was a trip! I'd like to see the whole thing, and I hope that it comes on again.

Big Momma: "Since it's slow, I'm going to sweep up the floor."

Me: "Cool. Thanks!"



She gets a broom and a long-handled dustbin...and sweeps up a piece of paper and a french fry.

* Back to the usual in some ways, it seems. Big Momma is so damn lazy, even though she makes a show of making an effort to do something...on Tuesday - during a slow period - she told me that she was going to go clean a few tables (I've been doing that twice a day everyday, but anyway)...she proceeded to grab a handful of napkins, got a bottle of Greenworks, then wiped the top of the bag/napkin table...that was it. A few minutes later, I went out into the student center and cleaned the tables. Damn.

* Asshole Chef D may be on his last leg at work. He refuses to stay downstairs as he was ordered, and he even got up in his boss's face, which really pissed his boss off. Well, at least he now knows that other people's complaints aren't unfounded in regards to Chef D. My only fear is that the guy has a hair-trigger temper, and may go off and do something cray-cray if he gets fired.

* Yesterday, Boss #2 was reading something she was sent on her Facebook page; it was actually two pics of two very,very perfectly muscled guys on a beach. She was oogling at the screen mumbling "God is good" over and over again. Many of us gathered around the computer screen ooohing and aaahing when Boss # 1 (an old guy) came in. He looked at the screen and said "I bet that they're fudge packers." Then he walked off. Good grief...lol.

Well, I've discovered that my printer is not working. I think that it was dropped by one of the kids who moved me, and if that's the case, no one fessed up to it. Damn. Like I can afford to buy another one right now.

Considering that the four of them (I thought that I'd have two) did the job for free - I gave them each a $20 tip - that's all I can do. (Actually - only two really worked hard. One was the girlfriend of one of the guys...I didn't really need her - especially as I was doing more with my bum knee...lol).

Thanks to my good packing skills, only one plate was broken. I hope that I don't find anything else.

AND LO...after several calls back and forth, with FOUR technician visits with AT&T for almost two weeks, I finally have my internet back today! That also goes for the tv - well, one of them anyway. Still working on getting an error cleared so that I can have tv in the bedroom as well...good grief.

* You wouldn't believe the comedy of errors since my move with AT&T - just yesterday, when everything was all set, the power went out...again. So the tech had to come back today. (Amazing how a helium balloon can set wiring on fire, and blow everything all to hell. I witnessed the flames in dismay yesterday).

* I STILL do not have my mailbox key. I've left messages for management, and my messages are progressively getting angrier. Have I received a call back? NO! I'm at the point where I'll get a locksmith, and deduct the bill from the rent...seeing as I was having a hard time busting the damn box open. I wouldn't make a good burgular at all. I've got EDD stuff to mail back to get paid while I'm out of work for three weeks, and I really need to get my shit, ya' know? If rent's late, it sure won't be my fault, and I'm not paying the late fee either.

* I'm almost done setting up the place, and I must say that I like the way it looks and functions. I'm in a historical building, so no satellite dishes are allowed...Now - if only they could get rid of the left-over junkies and the like a lot faster. At least a lot of new people - besides me - are moving in...who appear NORMAL.

* There are some wierd things about the apartment though...I didn't notice it when I looked at the place initially, as one wouldn't expect it missing...there are no outlets in the bathroom. Granted that all I had plugged in the socket was an electric toothbrush, but damn...and some Einstein placed two 'cold' knobs on the sink, instead of one cold and one hot...lol.

* And I'm still sleeping on the mattress and boxspring, as I can't figure out how to put the damn base of the bed together. What looked easy enough wasn't going to get done by my lame ass. I had asked the maintenance guy here to help me - for $20 - but he keeps forgetting...duh.



But - all in all, I like this place better than my last apartment. The kinda' sketchy neighborhood is okay by me too, as a lot of stuff is very convenient (Walgreens, lil' supermartkets, Chinese and Mexican food everywhere...there's a vet around here too, that I need to locate)! I was surprised to find that it's actually quieter - at night - than my old place! And I don't have that bullshit landlord anymore...however, I may have to go on a jihad to get my damn mailbox key.

Finally got internet back today...kind of. And I still don't have any tv.

The move went okay, but overall, setting up everything has been - and still is - totally fucked.

I'll bitch and moan later.

My saving graces are my kitties, and the wonderful novel I'm reading - 'Vampire Darcy's Desire' (an adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice').
