I sat through all of the credits for Underworld waiting to hear something that sounded like Skinny Puppy, since I didn't think I heard their new song during the actual film. Nothing. The credits did have a list of songs and artists, and the Skinny Puppy song wasn't mentioned in the list. Apparently, it's on the soundtrack, but appears nowhere in the actual movie. Or did I miss it somehow? Anyone have any idea?

Turns out that the song from the trailer, which I kind of liked, isn't actually on the soundtrack. So it would seem that the soundtrack has songs that have no connection whatsoever with the film, but lacks songs that actually do have a connection to the film. What the hell?

I considered buying the soundtrack when I thought it had the song from the trailer on it, figuring that even if I didn't like the Skinny Puppy song or anything else that I'd at least have one track that I did like. But now I don't know what to do. None of the songs that I heard during the actual film did much to grab me, nor did any of the five samples on Amazon. Anyone know of a music store where I might be able to listen to some of the rest of this thing before buying it? I'd hate to spend $15-20 on a CD that turned out to have nothing I like on it.

It looked more interesting than the current Friday Five.

1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed? In the antique and shadowed past of our world, there were no such records. As such, I...wait, forget I said that. Yes. It's the same.

2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be? My first name was only twisted for teasing purposes once that I can recall. My last name was also altered for the purposes of teasing. I doubt my name was the actual cause of teasing, though - it was just a target after I was selected. Still, I had often wished I had a less unusual name. People have a lot of trouble spelling Nyarla - ah, I mean, no, my name is just fine. Well, maybe I'd change my last name. I suppose now that the window for most mockery is passed, it's safe to have something unusual. Perhaps something German or Japanese, though that might look odd since I'm descended from neither background.

3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?) My parents selected 3 or 4 names to choose from, most of them at least mildly unusual (I could have been Lincoln). They then selected 2, one for the first name and one for the middle, for no special reason at all.

4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?I'm not sure I'd give a child an unusual name, were I to be in the position to do so. It can be tough on you. However, for the purposes of naming characters in RPGs or fiction, I'm fond of Nicodemus, Katsu, Zade, and some other oddballs. For female names, I like Cassandra, Katrina, and Sonya, off the top of my head.

5. Is the analysis of your name at www.kabalarians.com accurate? How or how isn't it?
Yes: The name has given you a very imaginative, creative mind.
No: You always have new ideas, but too often they are for an easy way out of a difficulty, or an easy way of making money. You are not inclined to apply yourself consistently to a job and to reach the fulfilment of your goals through perseverance and hard work. The influence of this name has caused you to feel unsettled emotionally and mentally. You are never satisfied with conditions, because your feelings and desires are so changeable. Hence you seek change in order to have the opportunity for travel, new experiences, and new friends and associates.
Maybe: There are people in your association who could influence you unfavourably and thereby mislead you; disillusionment, embarrassment, and bitter experiences then become your lot. You have a very talkative nature... (Maybe talkative in print or with friends, anyway)
No:...and because of it, you could do well in saleswork or in a position where you handle the public.
Yeah, I guess so:However, you would find any position requiring self-confidence and aggressiveness very trying. You are subject to moods of depression and self-pity, arising in part from a lack of confidence.

Heck, that turned out worse than most Astrology. Thumbs down.
