NEW FEATURE: "OOOH, THIS IS COOL!"
Found on a geeky blog I sometimes haunt. Reminds me of stuff I used to watch on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) as a kid. I want to get a job writing music for videos like this.
"Confound it man, are you afraid of success!" - Mr. Potter, from "It's a Wonderful Life"

Realm of the frivolous:
...I like to blog. Every Sunday. What can I say about blogging. Obviously, I have too much time on my hands on Sundays. I should be in church. But blogging is kind of addictive. It's hard to hold myself to just Sunday sometimes. I have so much crap to say.
*realm of the frivolous: see also: moralizing, above
and this: ....the world is a dirty and sleazy place; mostly in the minds of those who see it that way....
Hey sister, I had forgotten all about my matchmaking fiasco. Yes some things are better forgotten [grin] Have you listened to Andrew Bird or Josh Ritter? Gonna see them next week. Hope you are fantastic : ) S
yeah i had the same idea about this band. conan's been raving about this band forever now but it took me awhile to accept that i like them, but now they are my life. we're playing with them and Oxford Collapse in 2 weeks so that helps too. :)
Finally got to listen proper to the new tunage...hells yeah!!!! When at last you share the record all live like, think about gracing the Bay Area. I'll book a show for ya and get the peoples to come out. I'd even open for you. :D
