Turkaday

Good TG this year. Followed by a good first anniversary. The fellas came for food and drink this year and brought with them new to me music. The most impressive of which has been The Decemberists new album. Good stuff. It makes me wish tours came anywhere near me. Maybe someday I'll be both near a city that has good music and motivated to take part in the scene. Ah well. Go Birds.

Deathray for Cutie

The Deathray Davies are pretty sweet. I got a Paste magazine from work the other day and it had a DVD in it with all sorts of videos from a range of bands. DD had a song on there called Clock In Now. It's on their website and should be viewed in your spare time. Anyways, the hook was that it starred Kumar Pallana of Wes anderson fame. I'm a sucker for Mr. Littlejeans. Oh, also, I hate Madonna.

On the Rhode

FSU has a Rhodes Scholar this year. Wow. Usually they just have Playboy ACC girls. Way to step it up.

Running

Running is a bitch. On the plus side, I ran a couple seven minute miles. That's a lot better than when I first started back in the back in the day. In my first running class in college, I ran my first mile in like 12 minutes. I thought I was doing pretty good. Not so. But seven is a respectable time.
I've been looking for some OOP books recently too. The good stuff is not cheap.
Lastly, if you haven't already, meet Sexton. Good guy. Old friend.

Wow

Man, Universal City. Way to be.

Eye'm blind

Recently, I've noticed that I can't really see as well as I used to be able to. I think as a kid I probably had a little better than 20/20 vision in both eyes. Maybe 20/18 in one. Anyways, I was getting worried about it this past week since it seems to have come on rather quickly. So today I printed out a Snellen Eye Chart and tried it out. Shit. One eye is like 20/40 and the other is 20/30. Now, obviously this is just an in house diagnostic but still, I feel like it's at least a bad sign. As such, I'm off to the local doc next week to try and figure this out. I hope I don't go blind.

Season the Third

I love me some Home Movies. If you haven't seen this yet, do me and you a favor and buy all three seasons. I just got season three today and damn. I mean, damn. It's like if steak and cake could be combined without it being steak-cake. Tastes good.

myPod

I was upset that the new iPod could play video and the one I got a few months ago couldn't. So I hopped on over to iPodhacks to see if anything cool was hiding out. As it turns out, no. Not really. The website is poorly designed at best. I'll keep looking but I'm only loosely interested, I'm not going to dig through all their shit to find something fun.

Jesus tits

What the hell Eagles?

Monday night football

TO; who cares?
Also, the link in the top right corner lets me go wandering in the random neighborhood that includes my blog (currently). A little ways down the pseudo street I found this chick who's at UNC (not too far down the road/big ups (can I say big ups?) to McCaleb) I think. Anyways, she overtanned in a tanning salon, and that made me laugh. Enjoy.

Hppnss n slvry

So I am avoiding the reading I am supposed to be doing. This is due in large part to the contents of my iPod and the desire to understand what's going on in The Fallen by Franz Ferdinand. As it turns out, all kinds of neat stuff. First I wanted to know what the Kunst were/was/is. I thought it was going to be some sort of organization. Wrong. Then I wanted to know what St. Rollox Adieu was. As it turns out, I should have just been looking for St. Rollox. I think it is also a suburb of some Scotish city.
Also, I check out Jessica's site from time to time and maybe you should too. She has cool, graphic foot surgery photos up. She was in a car accident early this year and shattered all kinds of important foot pieces. I think she can walk now though. Cool.
