Holy shit:

For the past 2 weeks my sleep cycle has been fucked up. I usually go to sleep at around 4 or 5 am and wake up at 1 or 2 pm. This doesn’t really affect my school schedule since all my classes are in the afternoon/night, but that doesn’t make it ok either. Waking up to eat re-heated lunch is fucking weird.

I don’t know how I got into this but now I can’t get out. I just can’t go to sleep early and there is no alarm in the world that will wake me up before my 8-9 hours of sleep are in. So I’ve decided to fuck sleep and pull an all-nighter. It is now 2:46 am Sunday, and I don’t plan to go to sleep until the sun rises and sets again.

So what am I gonna do to keep me busy during this time? Post on the greatest metal website of all time of course. Get ready.

That’s 5ºC, which translates to 41ºF. Al Gore can go fuck himself right after he tries to explain to me why the fuck it’s so goddamn cold in Miami right now.

I’m comfortably seated right now at Miami International Airport, waiting to board my flight to the tropical paradise known as Nicaragua. I brought my netbook along because I don’t have my own computer back home, and I don’t feel comfortable looking at pr0n on my sister’s desktop.

And now thanks to the wonderful people at Google, I can start using my sweet Acer Aspire One before I even get on the plane to post on the Greatest Website on the face of the earth.

Google is providing free internet access on a number of airports through January 15. It’s their way of saying Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you too Google. I love you.

I’m reading here that they’re also providing in-flight internet, only on Virgin Atlantic Airlines though. Fucking Virgin.

Gregg is reminding me right now that I owe you guys a Nicaraguan Photojournal. I’ll get on that as soon as I land.

So I guess by now it’s a pretty known fact that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the greatest thing ever since boobs. Logically, you would want to be a part of such a thing.

And you definitely should. If you have an Xbox 360 and play on Live regularly, feel free to add Zach (Geirvaldr) and myself (skeksys) to your friends list. You have not lived Metalscape until you have bled alongside it.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers may be the only good band that was ever on MTV:

The Mysteriously Legendary Metalscape forum member known simply as the “Sheriff” is, for personal reasons he does not wish to divulge, looking for (collectible/antique?) coins.

That’s right folks. Be it particularly long absences from the boards due to “fishing trips”, allegations of actually being Enslaved’s Grutle Kjellson or generally random old man hijinks, the Sheriff never ceases to be mysterious. Or legendary.

If you live in the UK and would like to help out a fellow metalhead, read on:

For personal reasons I do not wish to divulge here,
I am presently actively looking for the following
pre-1971 decimalization UK denominations (in MINT state):

- a HALF CROWN from 1952 up to 1970 (the older the better)

- a SIXPENCE from before 1960

and, especially, a FARTHING, from 1950-1959 (or possibly 1948-1949)

If you have access to such coinage, and would be ready to
part with it under conditions to be agreed on, here is the procedure:

- Post a RECENT AUTHENTICATED VERY GOOD QUALITY PICTURE
of the coin, next to a VERY RECENT newspaper or to
your favourite Power Metal album for example, in this thread.
(Anybody can find irrelevant pictures of coins on the interwebs,
so please kids, only serious contenders need apply..)

- I’ll evaluate the coin and send you private instructions
on further transactional steps, IF a transaction seem
worthwhile to me at that point.

- PLEASE, no assholes/rich daddy xxxXxx/wise owl NONSENSE.

Thanks.

If you think you might be able to help, please reply in the comments section or directly on the original thread.

A while ago I talked on the show about a Christmas postcard I got from HevyDevy records and how it was actually signed by The Dev himself. I of course was met with disbelief by my cohort, because he is a grumpy old man who does not believe in pen technology. He accused the signature of not being actually from Devin or it being printed on the postcard and not hand-signed.

Well in this video you can clearly see that Devin actually signs stuff himself, and that his signature is definitely the one present on my postcard:

Here’s a picture of the back of my postcard for comparison purposes:

Ha!

I don’t think any of you remember me bitching about a replacement guitar body I ordered from Patrick Sims from the Sims Custom Shop for my Ibanez RG 550, but after 6 months of waiting for what should have been a 1 month job (I frankly thought my money was lost) it finally came in the mail.

Here’s a warning to my fellow guitar players out there: DO NOT EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS ASSHOLE. He said the job would take 1 month (he was going to paint the body, that takes a while), and he says he’ll start to work as soon as he gets the money. I ask if I can give him half now and half when I get the goods, he says “No”. I’m thinking “well that’s kinda asshole-ish” but whatever, at this point I have a boner just thinking about that beautiful matte-white alder/ash JEM body, so I paypal him the money. If you’re thinking “gg Ron”, you’d be correct.

From Devin Townsend’s twitter:

Man, if you were 37 years old and got busted masturbating while staying at your folks house, that would probably totally suck. yup. Totally.
