A couple of months ago I got a mix from a friend, two mixes, actually. She’d made them for me but then forgotten to hand them off…I later found them and since they already had my name scrawled on the silver top coat, I decided to take them. One wound up in my [...]

While at a get-together this past Saturday, I think I agreed to shoot the wedding of some friends in a couple months.  I had pulled out my camera, and she said that she needed me to use it, then explained it was for her wedding.  I’ll have to get back with her to verify that [...]

I also sorta wish I could have started over, beginning with my 23rd birthday.

…and the needle has landed.  Whatever that means, really.  Well, other than the title of an awesome Neko Case song.
Just finished listening to Carboot Soul, which I’d never done before…I am soooo mellow right now, it makes me wish it was Friday night and I was hanging out with friends, sipping along and having a [...]

I’m sure it has something to do with me always trying to decipher the code that makes my Wordpress templates work after 10pm.  After that recent superlong post, my sidebar got relegated to the bottom of everything and the only template that seemed to work in the interim is this basic out-of-the-box one.  I’ve learning [...]

Watching Perfect Square, an incredible live R.E.M. show from Germany back in 2003 and am loving it immensely.  Wishing I can catch something like that myself sometime…so I look up something about them at allmusic and discovered that Peter Buck turns 50 in 8 days.  That is so not right.  Stipe is the baby of [...]

“A song about bitterness, unhappiness and dynfunction…oh wait, that’s ALL my songs.” - Aimee Mann on her live DVD, which I’m watching right now and is just incredible.
There’s a neat little thing I’ve noticed as I drive all over the place on highways.  It’s especially evident if I’m using cruise control to mainstain a steady [...]
