A query about music play
desaturated:
caragh: WHAT IS YOUR GUITAR HERO BAND NAME?! I play bass sometimes in DR. STRANG (DR. STRANGE was too long). But yesterday I came up with… Sex Pixels! That is all sorts of awesomeness.

Jackson’s take on yesterday.

WatchExploding Sheep - The Outtakes (via Vimeo) So, okay. One of my World of Warcraft characters is an engineer. One night, I was working on learning how to make new gadgets, and one of them was an Exploding Sheep. And I was all, “Really? Exploding Sheep?
