THE END OF THE WORLD

I have dreams where I am incinerated by a nuclear explosion. I get them every two or three months. In these dreams I can feel my skin burning and my body melting. then I die. then I wake up. I know what you're saying now: "NATAHN U CANT DIE IN UR DREAMS LOL :P" WELL I DO SO SCREW YOU.

Nukes. that's exactly what it's like on the other side. NUKES. when we don't have Shiloh...well what the hell DO we have?!! NOTHING!


DOES THIS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?!! DOES IT?!!
if you said SKYNET then you'd be right! We've got this effing Hadron Collider runnin around colliding atoms together (like that's a good idea) and on top of all that North Korea's torturing prisoners and threatening the human race with extinction, AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT we've got movies about dolphins being tortured coming out by the same guy who trained Flipper AND ON TOP OF THAT the residents of Shiloh are MOVING OUT!!!! >:O

NO MORE SHOWERS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, NO MORE DEADLY LAUNDRY ROOM FLOORS, NO MORE RABID MOSQUITOS, NO MORE HORROR NIGHT--THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.

SEE OUR FUTURE!
(that'll be jon in the back motorcycle)

THE WORLD IS EXPLODING RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT NOW!

EVERYTHING'S GOING CRAZY!!

ATTENTION: THE SHILOH RESIDENTS ARE MOVING OUT IN ONE MONTH, SEVEN DAYS, 2 HOURS, 39 MINUTES, AND 12 SECONDS!

That's right everybody, we're moving out!! We just got word that the house isn't making enough money so they're kicking us out! understandably so!

now what the crap are we going to do about this mess?!! it looks like a bomb went off in this house! in every room! at the same time!

HELP!

we will be incorporating some help to chronicle the final days in our home of homes, Shiloh. Nate Morris and Vineet Gordhandas join the triumphant ranks to aid us in overcoming this new obstacle. wish us luck.

Dinner, for Once

So it was thursday night. Prisms was recording, laying down guitar tracks in the basement. When we were about halfway through our studio session, Jon and Daniel came in, arms loaded with groceries. After checking in to see how everything was going, they told us they were cooking a delicious dinner and proceeded upstairs into the kitchen. We continued recording guitar, minding our own business. Every now and then we'd hear a smash or crash as pots and pans seemed to be flying around upstairs. We heard footsteps creaking on the floor above and the sink's water seemed to be running the whole time they were cooking.

...and that's when we smelled it. It was like heaven, only better. I smelled the familiar smell of garlic mashed potatoes (one of my favorite foods of all time)!! After our recording session was over I went upstairs to find a feast prepared:

they made a RIDICULOUS meal for dinner!! Caramelised onions over steak w/barbecue sauce, and garlic mashed redskin potatoes, washed down with Red Hook beer. Here's a closeup of the masterpiece:

It was delicious! The mashed potatoes were very garlicy and well-spiced with herbs from the Shiloh Garden (the spice rack in the kitchen), and were creamy and chunky at the same time, which was simply delightful! The steak was fairly tender, with the caramelised onions complementing the taste just right. Barbeque sauce was on hand, but I found that I didn't need it to fully appreciate the steak's juicy taste.

pretty good considering these are two of the lamest and most incapable dudes I've ever met. all they seems capable of is going to Nicaragua and helping build houses for weeks on end, or traveling to africa and feeding the hungry. see what I mean? LAME.

anyway, as we were finishing up, someone suggested that we break out the scotch, which we proceeded to do:
and let's not forget the Ardbeg:
And barring the fact that somebody drank like a massive amount of our whisky somehow, we ate, drank, and were merry! I'm telling you, Glengoyne is insane. if you ever get your hands on it, you are a success!

Shiloh is Depressed

Well after a round of weddings and countless stupid engagements, Shiloh is officially wallowing in depression. our rooms are a wreck, sherwin's room smells like ferrets, the shower's too hot, the sink's too dirty, the basement's to humid, it's like flames at night when we're trying to sleep, I can't seem to go to bed at a reasonable hour, Jon's flaking out on work, our house is being overtaken by various size bugs...which isn't helped by me trying to feed all the spiders I see in the house. ...speaking of which.......

***

I saw a small spider in the tub area of the shower and he was trying to get up the side but it was too slippery, so I made a ladder out of toilet paper so he could use it to climb out, then I went to sleep. but when I woke up in the morning he was still in there. not only was he still in there but he didn't seem to be moving very much. I tried blowing on him but he wouldn't budge. I knew he wasn't dead so I decided that he wasn't moving because he didn't have anything to eat. I know I get tired when I don't eat so I started trying to figure out where I could possibly find an ant or bug to feed him.

which is when I looked up at the light that was on in the bathroom directly over my head, and discovered, depressingly, literally 14 bugs, all in different shapes and sizes, flying around in the bathroom around the light. "What luck!" I thought to myself, "any of these will do!" So I chose one of the bigger beetles, grabbed my Urbana '06 book and with one *WAP!* he was done. I scooped up the barely-alive-but-fading-rapidly beetle and put it next to my spider friend. But my spider friend did not budge. again I blew on the spider and he just started moving around the tub in the opposite direction. great. "Oh, well," I thought to myself as I tucked my thumbs underneath my suspenders, "at least I know I've done my good deed for the day!" I brushed my teeth and went to work. When I got home the spider was gone. I really hope he went up the toilet-paper ladder. He hasn't been seen since. I just hope he got a "bite" to eat before he left! oh man that cracks me up!

Shiloh's depressed. *le sigh...
