Wow that was strange

So my roommates are out having dinner and I, being home, decided to order something in. I called up a Mexican joint and got 1 order of something and 1 order or something else, totaling no more than $ 15.00. When the food arrived there were four (count them, four) orders of my meal. There was also a 2 liter bottle of Orange soda. The bill was $45.00. I paid with a credit card when I called and thus did not have the opportunity to say "I only want one, here is cash for that." It was already paid for! So my quick thinking swayed me to simply take all the food and forget about it. Now I have 3 neatly packaged meals (each the same) in my refrigerator. I hope my roommates want to eat some of that.

Noise canceling headphones are so fucking weird. I am test driving some right now and I feel a little nauseous. When activated, the noise canceling technology fills your head with the opposite frequencies of the ambient noise around you, thus canceling it. This makes me feel like I am either underwater or on bad drugs. There is a weird pressure on my chest. But they sound so damn sweet! The bass is full, the treble is hungry. I listened to the Pendulum remix of the Prodigy's "Voodoo People" and it practically shattered my skull; not because of the volume, but the sheer fullness and intensity of the sound. I don't know if I used a semicolon there correctly. Anyone care to comment and tell me?

Fucking orange soda... I practically drank the whole bottle already. I would never touch that shit if it wasn't right in front of me. I didn't even say anything about soda and there did not seem to be any kind of language / dialect / accent barriers with my telephone transaction! I don't get upset over forty five bucks and it's not like it was wasted, but I just can't really put it all together. Why orange soda?

I think I would like to be an editor. I'll look into that.

Chromeo is probably my favorite music out of all the new music I have heard in the past year. Dave-1 and P-Thugg play music that is the sound of love making and love breaking. 80's house pop funk two step synth rock is what I would call it. Their songs are about girls and momma's boys and dancing and looking fine. A word of advice from their Fancy Footwork album:

Just take her to the movies and you're gonna work it out!

If you like romance, funk, dancing, infectious grooves, and vocoders (those things that make an instrument sing with your voice. Think Peter Frampton but with a 80's synthesizer) then you should give them a listen if you have not already. You can do so here at their myFace page. I particularly like "Needy Girl" and "Bonafied Lovin'" Betsy, you liked that Sam Sparro song, so you should listen to this. Let me know if you like it. I am always trying to spread good tunes.
