Not that I'm telling you cosmopolitan headphone fanciers anything new, but the HP-1000s are pretty darn sweet. I'd only heard them before under meet conditions off of other people's rigs. Yay impulse buys!

Voltron game in the app store.

Not the fun kind of moronity, sadly. But I've cheered up again anyway, because the UPS man bought me some fonky new phones and a box of beer.

Somebody punch me in the face, please. I am SUCH a maroon.

I like the stick shift.

Radiohead -- Pablo Honey

Pet Shop Boys -- Behaviour

hehehe. farts. hehehe.

Happy Birthday! Shovel walk!

New Order -- Republic Everyone gets a dispensation for dodgy albums that just happened to drop at pivotal points in their life, right?

I'm kind of a closet fan of "Dirty Jobs", so I really enjoyed these bits from the Reddit interview with Mike Rowe, because he comes off as a pretty cool guy, who sings opera.

Probably by adding more tools to the production staff, sadly.

This I have absolutely no trouble believing!

The National -- Boxer

Sorry, you'll need to call him and describe it over the phone.

Lazy man's way to just listen to most of the best songs all at once. Neutral Milk Hotel -- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

Vasbyt, boet!

Nick Drake -- Way To Blue (An Introduction To Nick Drake)

Neither does sitting in one's blissfully quiet house drinking good beer and listening to music while one's spouse deals with not one but two consecutive kiddie birthday parties. One will, of course, pay for this later.

The Sundays -- Blind

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds -- No More Shall We Part

Got the snowblower up and running again. Looking forward to it, Nate?

Happy Birthday! Keep yanking that crank!* * On the rowing machine.

If the hangover is severe enough, burning to death can seem the preferable option to getting out of bed. Been there.
