Apparently the Wu Tang Clan loves Apple the most. This is real, as reported by Wired. If I knew anything about pop-culture, I’d have probably already known this.

Uh… I just noticed that the Wu Tang website is on Sony Music. So I’m gonna have to encourage you to not actually buy this CD. Or else you’re in for a world of trouble.

Last night I had the very fortunate opportunity to see Sigur Ros. The best part was that I didn’t even know I was going until the day before (shout out to Lexi and Zane on that bit!). It was my third time seeing them, and the Paramount Theatre in Oakland is simply stunning. I only had one complaint: the dude sitting behind me insisted on playing drums on his lap the entire time. *Slap slappity slap slap!* was all I could hear coming from my right hear for the entire show. I finally turned around and said “Could you pleaaaase stop tapping the drum parts on your lap?!” He stopped… sort of. Ruined the immersion for me (whoa…. immersion? I’m sounding like my Critical Listening teacher from college).

They did end with Track 8 from ( ) though, which made it all better.

A side story to this tale is that Naomi spilled the entire contents of a Coke bottle into her suede purse, ruining almost everything inside, including her cell phone. So today we’re going down to the Cingular store, where I will show her a phone that doesn’t suck and can withstand the beating she generally gives her gadgets.

Oh, and I bought World of Warcraft yesterday. I’m a Level 4 Undead Warlock, and I’m playing in Crushridge if anyone is interested in stopping by. My name is Imriela. The guy at the Apple store looked at me and said “Don’t plan on leaving your house anytime soon.” Awesome.

*I did not take that photo. It’s from Google images, I just resized it. I felt weird taking my camera out.

Today the Green Day tour bus parked in front of my building. They obviously did it to torture me, because I’m not going to the show.

I stood outside for a while, but it appears that it was merely the crew bus. CURSES! For the record, Green Day has a special place in my heart: Dookie was the first CD I ever owned! *sigh*

I’ve been listening to this album for the past two days, and I’m still not positive exactly how I feel bad it. There are definitely a few great tracks (”Lights”, “Blood” and especially “Munich”), however the rest of the album isn’t quite sticking with me yet. This is their first album, so I can give the Birmingham, UK, band some credit for effort. Fans of Interpol and Bloc Party will be psyched, as they have a similar dark, dancey feel to them. I hope they tour soon, I wouldn’t mind seeing their show live.
