‘To the gods of Asgard we looked for refuge
As a helpless babe seeks his mothers loving arms,
But none came to us in our most dire of needs.
If only they would have intervened,
Our bodies would not now be hollow shells decaying in the earth,
Our spirits would not be wandering aimlessly without an end in sight,
Our blood would not be crying out from the earth,
For a leader, someone who has the power to unite all mankind
And rid us of the evils and hardships that plague us.’”
“What the hell just happened? Zeta, do you come in, answer me!” Recknem screamed over the intercom. There was no reply. An evil laughter rang through the darkness of space. A wretched laugh it was, sounded with the voice of a thousand whispers. It echoed through the ocean of stars. Zarn had its revenge! In a glass dome atop a tower on the moon’s research lab, perched a dark figure glowing bright lidless blue eyes, and horned. Seeing this, Recknem delt a shiver down his spine. “Klanferos, I have to save him!”
All over the world, it’s a new year – 2009 is upon us, and 2008 is, for better or worse, dead. Happy New Year everybody! May the year ahead be full of good stuff, including, but not limited to: good friends, desu, God’s blessings, good movies, gainful employment (or fantastic retirement), delicious cake, desu, new ideas, dancing in the moonlight, moar desu, and successful resolutions.
Kaiser Chiefs - Off With Their HeadsI got my first taste of the Kaiser Chiefs back in 2007 (now that it’s 2009, I can officially say ‘back in 2007’ without sounding like a dip), with the track The Angry Mob (off the album Yours Truly, Angry Mob). I was quickly hooked in to the band’s lively British punk rock, and so when Off with Their Heads was announced, I was eager to get my ears on it… I wouldn’t say it’s a must have for any collection – but it’s solid. Fans of the Kaiser Chiefs would do well to grab a copy, as would fans of British-punk.
