Hey..you never wrote about Jen and I having our baby girl last week so all your reader(s) would know. Lothos would probably like to hear all about her. :)

as you can see, ed's life as he knew it changed forever last week... no longer his own, his life now belongs to a (as far as i know) healthy baby girl named alice... hit him up on facebook for all the pictures and shit (i assume there are tons of pics anyway, i dont facebook so i dunno...)

note to self: (posted: 2009-12-24 16:11:44)

do NOT attempt to cut your own hair at 5pm on xmas eve, when it is guaranteed no barber will be open for at least two days, and you have a full slate of activities from which you cannot hide for those two days, even IF youve done it a hundred times with no problem.

what is it the stock brokers say? past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Song(s) of the Whenever: Shrift - Lost in a Moment (posted: 2009-12-21 13:24:16)

ok, this posting every day thing is for the birds. so screw it... ill do it a few times a week... maybe. almost definitely once a week, at least, except for the times i dont.

to make up for it, im putting a whole album up today instead of a single song. this is currently my very favorite album (my favorite track on this album is #5, Floating City)... so, enjoy. or dont. its not for everyone...

Song of the Day: Huun-Huur-Tu - Fly, Fly My Sadness (posted: 2009-12-19 17:27:52)

huun-huur-tu perform traditional Tuvan folk music, using a technique called "throat-singing" which is a polyphonic style in which multiple notes are sung at one time by a single singer, producing a weird harmony even when only one person is singing. its pretty wild.

i like all their stuff, but this is without question one of the most hauntingly beautiful and achingly sad things i have ever heard. i cant understand the words, but really, i dont have to... the lament comes through loud and clear.

Song of the Day: Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl (posted: 2009-12-18 09:45:52)

ok. just stop. i dont want to hear it. this song is my secret shame, my guilty pleasure... its absolute trash, utterly uncharacteristic for me, and yet for some reason that boggles even MY mind, i still like it.

i dont listen to radio anymore, so generally my only exposure to pop is through stores and restaurants. i heard this one while eating dinner at genghis grill and it became lodged firmly in my brain. i just couldnt get the stupid song out of my head until id listened to it like 10 straight times. and by then, well, it had kinda grown on me. its got a really catchy hook with a good, strong, thumping bassline that makes it oddly likable.

listen at your own peril, and dont blame me if it gets stuck in your head, too.

Song of the Day: Bent - Sing Me (posted: 2009-12-17 11:07:38)

ok so, no song yesterday. why? because grooveshark was down. except, it wasnt. rather, it was from one pc, and STILL is, but isnt on another pc. dont ask me, i have no idea why.

Song of the Day: Eisley - Invasion (posted: 2009-12-15 18:37:19)

ok so i havent had much to say lately... in the interest of maintaining some semblance of activity, im going to highlight a song i happen to like every day.

and by "every day" i mean, "every day i remember to do it, until such a time as i get tired of doing it"...

today's song is "Invasion" by Eisley, a group of local girls (from tyler)... how can you not love a song about "invasion of the body snatchers"?
