Well, thanks to a couple of things so far, it looks like 2010 is off to an entertaining start!

First, Christine shocks the hell out of me by actually LIKING and recommending a symphonic metal band to me. If I haven’t already told you guys, her and I butt heads so much on music tastes that we often end up listening to music via headphones around the house. Unfortunate, but it’s a workaround. Anyways, the band is called Delain and I bought their album immediately after she played a few samples. Very good stuff, with just enough of a commercial sound to appeal to more of the masses. And the singer has got such a phenomenal voice! The music is also progressive enough, with at least a couple of key changes in their songs. Here’s the video for their single “April Rain”

The second cool piece of entertainment was the finale of the Doctor Who: The End Of Time two-parter that finished off the seasonal specials after the 4th season. This finale was totally unexpected, and the ending was so touching, it made me cry. I’m a softie for stuff like that. David Tennant gives up his role as the 10th Doctor with pure style and heart, and Matt Smith picks up the torch as the 11th Doctor with some of the weirdness we saw from David Tennant’s beginnings, but more manic. I won’t say any more. You’ll have to see for yourself!

So, two very entertaining and cool things for me this year so far… I can’t wait to see what else 2010 has in store for us! Cheers!

P.S. – Just got news after planning this blog entry that my beloved pet, Beavis, whom my parents have has since I moved away, died today. I’ll write about this tomorrow.
