Great News and a New Poll

February 10, 2007 4:23 AM

t's almost as if today hadn't happened. I spent the whole day recovering from last night--man, I was worthless today.

In any event, I'm back amongst the living now and, I suspect, will be back at 100 percent efficiency tomorrow. Which is good, because I've got an insane amount of work to do.

I've gotta be better about staying in touch with my friends. Thankfully, the blogosphere has kept me in touch with some friends, and IM fills other gaps, but I've really gotta step up the phone calls. So, if you get a random phone call from me just to see what you're up to, it's part of my new stay-in-touch-with-old-friends thing. It'll be just like old times.

I'd like to thank Frank for sending along info about the Smashing Pumpkins forthcoming new album. It will be called "Zeitgeist," and it will be released July 7th of this year. That's fucking . . . I can't really even express how excited I am. But there's still no word on whether James Iha and D'arcy will be on the album. My guess is that D'arcy definitely won't be, but what about James? The Pumpkins really need him, I think--he helped write Soma, one of my all-time favorite songs.

In any event, the news has prompted me to create a new poll: What are you most looking forward to this summer?

Personally, I voted for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I know, I know--my all-time favorite band's reunited and releasing a new album, how does that not win? Well, for a few reasons. First, the last Pumpkins album was decent at best. Zwan was decent, too, but not nearly as good as the Pumpkins in their hayday. And then there was the inexcusable Billy Corgan solo album. So, while I'll love the Pumpkins till the day I die, I have to realistic: the album might suck hard core.

On the other hand, I've never been disappointed by a Harry Potter book. Even though Chamber of Secrets is weaker than all the other books, it's still very enjoyable. And this is the big finale--the one where (I assume) Harry and Voldemort will finally have their final confrontation, where we find out whether Snape really is the traitor we've been lead to believe he is, and where Hermione and Ron finally get together. In short, it should be awesome, and I'm already planning on sitting in my room for as long as I have to in order to finish the thing in one sitting.

So, yeah, that's what I voted for. What do you guys think?

What? Why isn't "getting violated by a bar exam" on the list?

dude, no contest. i see that right now "warmth" is in second place. even if a global cold front covers the earth for the entire month of august, knowing what happens to harry potter will keep me warm.

I voted for Spiderman 3. While the whole Harry Potter thing will be winding up this summer, nothing gets the old inner fanboy giddy like trailers showing Peter Parker's 'acquisition' and subsequent rejection of the symbiote, interspersed with some brawling with Sandman.

Oooo, ah jus' can't waaaait...

Sadly, I had to vote for warmth. While I'm very excited about Spiderman 3, the Deathly Hallows and the Phoenix movie, they kind of cancel each other out. Because no matter which of those I'm watching/reading, when I'm finished, more than anything I'd like to step outside without freezing my balls off.
