walbournHad a good brunch with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
loree this morning at Alkai Cafe, and helped a bit with her prep for tomorrow's party.
With the big Fry's Electronics in Renton opening this weekend, it seems all the geeks in town are making their trip to Mecca. I'm sure it is more enjoyable as playing hookie from work, but I dropped by on my way home. The place is a veritable orgy of electronics, computer supplies, technical books, software, geek toys, and media of all kinds. While the selection is hard to beat, you can probably get better prices at local specialty stores for computer parts and used DVD at blockbuster are still cheaper.
Managed to get out of there with only the Evanescene "Fallen" CD. It is a lot harder sound than my usual music taste, but I kinda have a weakness for techno in the right mood. It is definitely a hard-rock goth sound with a bit of christian-rock influence.
It has a few angsty chick-rock parts too, which is probably why I went ahead and bought the album. Some of it is outright 'slit-your-wrist' sad. So of course, my favorite on the album so far is
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

Anyhow, my brother arrives late tonight, so I'll have company for a week or so.
