Dusty Chalk

Got my car Virginia safety & emissions tested. It passed. Test drove a Lancer Sportback while I was waiting. Daddy like. I'll probably still go with a Mazda3 or Nissan Juke (assuming I go new), as the Mitsubishi is significantly more expensive. Had a phone interview. It was fast. I'm hoping that's a good sign. Finished moving out, 3 months later. ! Remind me never to do this again (move myself while doing other things).

This. It is so good.

Damnit, I really should catch up on news in the headphone world before I go off trying to make stupid jokes. </derailment>

Dude, you know how much I follow sports and even I heard about that. 'History', indeed! Me: I watched the nurse medicate my mom, so I could do it for the next couple months until my sister returns to the area in the fall to take over. I'm going to try my hardest not to take my sister for granted, home caretakers often get the short shrift. And she's giving up Alaska to do this. And the only reason I'm not doing it is that me and my mom don't get along well enough for me to be that person. Nor do we have the kind of relationship that she listens to me (and that's probably the more important aspect). I feel bad about that, but it's the truth.

Inkraktare, You Have Reached Your Destination -- new project from Dean Garcia from Curve. Downbeaty shoegaze. Pure bliss.

Iconic picture...PHOTOSHOPPED!

Yeah, I don't think there is an 1840, I think the highest they go is 940, 1840 isn't for another hundred? thousand? years...

And yes, there's a petition.

The culprit is obviously an herbivore. Hire a carnivore.

"Foods come fresh -- stay fresh longer, less waste." Baby food?

I'm antitheist myself, but I do believe in the power of positive thought. My compromise would have been to declare that I am thinking healthy healing thoughts for the uncle. In fact, I am doing so now -- hope everything comes out okay, Knucks.

A Storm of Light Violinist Session -- this sounds so good for YouTube -- post-metal meets Masters From Their Day.

I think I'd be happy with either one. Or both. Thanks, Wayne.

In the car -- the new Paradise Lost. At home -- Stabbing Westward -- Whither, Blister, Burn, & Peel last night, and Darkest Days now.

I hope I'm as happy as he is when I get that old, although without a son to be proud of like you, Al, I doubt it. Me: sold my car (finally!). Carmax was extremely generous -- they gave me twice the upper limit of what I thought they'd give me. So, another month's rent. Yay!

Which one's Garfunkel?

Diego goes shirt diving.

It's only wrong later, when you realize they're stuck in your head -- not just the songs, but that medley, and possibly some bits that they left out, overlapping -- and you were quite done.

Gazpacho, Missa Atropos Earlier: this. Me <3 Calexico.

Saw Prometheus. Dug it. Saw Religulous. Meh. Enjoyed, but only because I was told that it was really really mediocre, so my expectations were low. Heck, he's funnier when he's adlibbing. Glad you got to spend a very special day with your Da, Al.

Yeezh, Mike.

Nope, they intersperse audio tracks with audio commercials. Yeezh.

Gazpacho, Night -- this might be my favorite album by them.
