Just some stuff rattling around in my head; with only a few re-runs from the twitter feed: ♦ – As strange as it sounds, I am coming to believe that LEGO Rock Band is a better game than Rock Band 2. ♦ – My new favorite Southern Colloquial expression is definitely “getting down to the […]

Sort of settling into a routine now; hope it’ll get a little more regular next week. No big plans for the weekend; probably just going to continue cleaning and take a couple of bike rides (did fifteen miles this morning; felt very good after spotty gym access this week). And now for the pre-school’s favorite […]

Overall, I’m sure moving to this new job is the good kind of stress. However, good or bad, it’s still stress, and it plays havoc with my system in all sorts of unpleasant ways. I am, as many know, a creature of habit, almost compulsively so; these changes (new position, new place of business, new […]

Stuff is happening. Good stuff. I’ll cover it in a separate post a little later. Here are some tunes. “A Certain Romance” – Arctic Monkeys “Our American Cousin” – Molly Lewis “Goodbye” – Patty Griffin “Radio Romance” – Tiffany “When You’re Gone” – The Cranberries “Slave” – Syn D’ Cats “Come All You Sailors” – […]

In my honest opinion, Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus is a better film than Mega Piranha. Round one of the contest goes to Deborah Gibson. We’ll see if Tiffany Can tie it up by delivering the more riveting performance in round two’s head-to-head competition when Mega Python vs. Gateroid gets released next year. Here’s some totally […]

Not sure of the reason, exactly, but last night I was moved to pull out my bass and shake the rust off of my meager skill at filling out the bottom end. It turns out I wasn’t entirely embarassed with the results: I could still pound out the scales and runs, and didn’t fudge the […]

Some may have noticed that I haven’t been posting as often lately. After some thought, I’ve come to the realization that I’ve been very purposely *not* talking about one particular thing, and saying very little at all is the best way to do that. Now you’re curious, aren’t you? “Brown Eyes” – Lady GaGa “Heavy […]

but what the hell, here’s a weekend wrap up. The weekend didn’t go as I expected, and things I though would be short and sweet ended up lengthy and expensive, and some stuff didn’t get done at all. However, I mostly can’t complain. Among other things, I ended up lining up a great deal on […]

Because honestly, I’ve got nothing. “Explain It To Me” – Liz Phair “Butterflies and Airplanes” – The Clarks “Knife Going In” – Tegan and Sara “Johnny” – Innocent Nixon “Our American Cousin” – Molly Lewis “Can’t Get There From Here” – REM “These Days” – The Rentals “Hands In The Air” – Girl Talk “Bring […]
