so. i haven't written in here in a while. i abandoned livejournal for the myspace craze. but then i deleted my account. it's amazing how much time i could waste.

but i digress. the new thursday cd came out yesterday, and i love it. i've felt especially amazed by lyrics lately. i am lamenting my lack of recording devices.

i just decided that i'm going to keep track of every book i read. the decision was just made because i realized as i was about to start this entry that i don't remember the last book that i read.

anyway, the point of this entry was to talk about the book i'm currently reading, called the constant gardener by john le carre. it's very, very ( Read more... )

i got my old n64 back the other week, and then i borrowed super mario 64 from a friend. what a sweet game. i had forgotten how good it is. i can't stop playing. seriously.

i found a new favorite insect. that is to say, i found a favorite insect, since i can't recall ever having one before.

click me!

sigur ros was really intense and emotional. even more than i had expected. during one song, at a point where there is a pause in the recorded version, they just stopped for probably 15 seconds, silent and motionless. i thought it was incredible that the crowd was silent for a full 5 or 10 seconds, considering the size. it was a very cool moment ( Read more... )

this is absolutely incredible. first of all, since it's the anniversary of one of the moon landings, google has this. from there i found a link to this, which is almost frightening. it's about a 10MB download, and won't work on macs apparently. the page says what you need to run it, but it's pretty crazy ( Read more... )
