You can’t get me back on the farm


Lyric of the Day

Aimee Mann Lyrics, Deathly Lyrics :

So don’t work your stuff
because I’ve got troubles enough
no, don’t pick on me
when one act of kindness
could be
deathly
deathly
definitely

Cause I’m just a problem for you to solve
and watch dissolve
in the heat of your charm
but what will you do
when you run it through
and you can’t get me back on the farm

Ergo Proxy – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The story begins in a futuristic domed city called Romdo, built to protect its citizens after a global ecological disaster. In this utopia, humans and androids (AutoReivs[1]) coexist with each other peacefully under a total management system. A series of murders committed by berserk robots (infected with the Cogito virus) starts to jeopardize the delicate balance of the social order. Behind the scenes, the government is conducting secret experiments on a mysterious humanoid lifeform called Proxy, which is believed to hold the key to the survival of mankind.

Re-l Mayer is assigned to investigate some of the murders with her AutoReiv partner Iggy. She encounters a Cogito-infected AutoReiv and a fast and flexible monster. She later learns that the monster was a Proxy, the same sort of creature as another main character who normally assumes the guise of a immigrant named Vincent Law. After being hunted down, Vincent leaves Romdo, and Re-l tags along to discover the truth behind the Proxies and the domes.

Been following this series and was hooked after the 2nd episode. I don’t think I have the required “depth” to understand the hidden meanings and stuff in the show, but I really like the atmosphere and some of the intriguing ideas it post to the viewers. Oh, it has a great soundtrack to boot too. Radiohead’s “Paranoia Android” was aptly chosen to be the ending song for each episodes. ______________________________________________________

I still can’t pull myself away from “The World Ends with You” after beating the game a week ago. Now I am obsessed with collecting fighting pins that does awesome attacks! Eg. Shouting into the microphone to send a shock wave blasting away the enemies, or encasing the enemies in ice or rocks and immobilize them… Someone stop me!!!
