Nikon P6000, was going to get the Canon G10, but it was fucking enormous and at that point I would've gone SLR. Either way, with this I'll see if I actually enjoy taking pictures before manning up and getting an SLR.

How much did you pay for that camera, 500$? I think you can get a Nikon D40 DSLR for that.

Somewhere between $340 and $360.

indeed.  hate that the only way to get a lot of his stuff is to shell out astronomical sums for the opportunity.

i've been reading a story each night before bed and i love that his atmospheric invocations seems to transport you into another surreal and much darker world.

Last night I read The Town Manager and it struck me as something that would make an excellent film with a great denouement.  Could be a great commentary on governmental waste/bureaucracy.

i don't understand the difference between black and death metal.

Satanism/devil worship (or as it became, lyrics about trolls and various other creatures of folklore) vs everything from infant dismemberment to global warming. One tends to be more about atmosphere as opposed to musical value. I was pretty involved in the black metal "scene" at one point, but it's sort of sad seeing the same people still do that shit in their mid- to late 30s. A 16 year old aligning with an anti-social underground, sure. A 35 year old fattard screaming about the awesomeness of the devil and the horrors of churches? A lifetime of fighting windmills, go them.

The exception here would be Rotting Christ and Impaled Nazarene, but then they were never part of that group anyway.

death is more thrashy
black is darker, more often than not slower and has more of a grind to it.

Eh, I disagree. If anything, a band like Emperor feels closer aligned to thrash, and there's often a punk feel to underground black metal, likely because it's more about propaganda than it is music. More attitude than musical talent, that was certainly the case with me.

I never really recognized Anthrax as thrash, despite their position in the industry. Glam-punk, or some shit. Testament was thrash.

Ever.  I never even really considered getting one or even expressed interest in it but I'm so completely happy with this little thing it's ridiculous.  It's basically been on ever since I took it out of the package and has made me not even give a shit about Killzone 2 or Star Ocean coming out.
