SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before

I have nightmares about the gov't removing the tuition fees cap and me begging for cigarettes off passing tramps. It's odd because I don't smoke.

Yes (at least, the set list). I'm currently pretending albums + DVDs don't exist so I won't buy any. So far, fairly effective. Still, I'll definitely look it up when that illusion falls through.

^that's gross!

Given that second spin yet?  Don't know if Alex has yet, but I've given it four so far. I could probably manage to give it 4 stars, but barely. I still think it's their worst album to date. While listening to Octahedron a couple of nights back I found myself thinking that it might even end up being my favourite TMV album so far... Even better than Comatorium that started it all for me, but we'll see.

I'd say it's better than Frances, except that to me, Octahedron doesn't have anything that stands up to Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus or L' Via L' Viaquez. Although I still need to give it a few more listens to be sure. But time will tell.

Alright, I'm out for now to go to some more things. See you guys around later.

Predictions: Roddick vs. Hewitt      3-1  Murray vs. Ferrero       3-2 Haas vs. Djokovic       3-0 Karlovic vs. Federer     3-0 Haas won't go down so easily methinks.. In fact I'll take him for the upset.

Haas is a fantastic player, but I think Djokovic is too solid to be upset. I could see Djokovic giving up a set, but no more.

Who knows though? I may be surprised.

As for the women's game, I don't give a rats arse.

It'll just be the Williams' in the final... so it'll be dull as dishwater.

Yeah, I've given it 3 extremely attentive listens now, and a few "half-listens" where I wasn't paying full attention or only listened to some songs.

I'd say it's either a 3 or 4 star album for me by PA's standards (I honestly can't choose), but since it's TMV---it's still a solid album. My favorite two songs are Teflon and Cotopaxi.
