 This week has been, well rather interesting actually.  My coworker has been talking to me about a guy friend of hers and she’s convinced that we’re perfect for each other.  Well I started texting him today, and it turns out we have a shit-load things in common.  It really took me by surprise actually.  He’s actually a huge anime fan which is cool.  I’m just hoping that we have some other things in common, and that when we actually meet it will turn out well.  If nothing else comes out of it we might end up being good friends who knows.  I’m trying to keep an open mind about it.  Honestly, I hate being set up but this time it actually seems like it could possibly work out, who knows? 

On another note the Lacuna Coil concert is this coming Saturday!  I’m super excited since Christina Scabbia (singer) has been posting non-stop on twitter/facebook about the tour.  I keep hearing good things about the shows so I’m really looking forward to it.  I’m going with my niece since my friend wasn't able to take off work.  My niece joked that she’ll need to bring some earplugs (she doesn't listen to any type of rock music so…lol.) 

As for music I've been listening to a little bit of everything.  As far as Kpop goes I’ve been jamming to B.A.P’s newest album.  I really dig it a lot, and I love all the songs on the album.  Also an album that surprised me was the new 2NE1 album!  OMFG that album good!  And I say this as someone who was initially indifferent to 2NE1, and their music mostly.  It’s easily one of my favorite Kpop releases for this year.  I have Nell’s new album on my iTunes but haven’t listened to it yet.  I need to get on that.

In terms of other music I’ve been listening to old-school industrial stuff like: Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny Puppy, as well as more recent Industrial stuff like Front Line Assembly, and NIN.  I really really like Coil.  Their music has such an eerie, and ominous atmosphere, and the how they create sound is something I find really intriguing.  I really dig Skinny Puppy too mainly for the songs “Dig It”, “Assimilate”, “Love”, and “Testure.”  I don’t know really why I like industrial music, but I do think you can create music out of noise, and random sounds.  Other stuff I’ve been listening to is Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Solemn Novena, Metallica, Magazine, Delain, Peter Murphy,  Madeth Gray’ll (I know random V-Kei band thrown in there…lol), and a few other artists.
