Return to life online

I got a new network card today so I have the internet again. It's nice.

Hey listen to the Boy Least Likely To's cover of Faith, it is amazing.

So we didn't end up moving this weekend at work. We're now moving the last weekend of August.
You'd think I'd have something interesting to say after not being online for 2 weeks, but I don't. Sorry.

Washing Machine

I was at pitchfork today and saw 2 things that caught my eye. One was an excerpt from an interview with Rivers Cuomo. He's married now and has no intention of putting out another Weezer album. It's not so much as a breakup as it is a hiatus. It seems pretty amicable as Scott, Brian and Pat were all groomsmen at River's wedding.

Two: LOOK OUT KIDS. There's a TMBG tribute album coming out! In honor of the 20th anniversary of the album TMBG, barnone is releasing a tribute album featuring such luminous acts and TMBG fans as Frank Black, Okgo, Jason Trachtenburg, and Hotel Lights (Darren Jessee's {of BFF fame} band). Tribute albums tend to suck. This one might not.

Stu came to visit us at work on Tuesday. He is still unemployed. But he is a college graduate, so he's not only unemployed he's also thousands of dollars in debt. Stu's awesome though. If you or someone you know needs to employ someone with a degree in criminal justice, Stu is your man.

Castaways and Cutouts.

I should be listening to the Decemberists.
That's better.

Ok, so Pat is off this week so we'll be short handed every day! YAY! It also means I'll be metering all week. Yippee!

This weekend went by quicker than most. I think it's because I was always doing something. Friday we played a rousing game of Arkham Horror. We summoned Yig illegally, but completely kicked his ass. We could've won the game legally if Steve would learn how to roll dice. Saturday Pete, Steve, and I saw Pirates 2. It was really good. I enjoyed it immensely. I don't know if I'll see it 5 times in the theaters like I did the first one, but I'll probably see it again when Joe comes home, which happens on tuesday. Sunday was the prerelease. Matthew and I got shafted in the common/uncommon department so we got schooled. We had a total of 0 counter spells, one burn spell, and two removal spells. It was ballstastic. We frisbeed Sunday night. It was intense. We played by the throw-off rules, which made the game much more interesting, plus Marcus was there so there was a lot of running.

Yup. That's it.

Staying up later than I should...

I've decided that I'm going to cool it on the Stripes for a while. White Stripes, I love you but I don't want to burn out on you. I've already had three dreams in which Jack White hates me. These dreams are very troubling.

Fortunately I have plenty of other music to listen too. I listened to Cake Bake Betty's "Songs About Teeth" today. It was a good album. I'll probably listen to it again tonight. Guster's new album is growing on me. At first I was cold to it, but it's insidious. It sort of sneaks up on you. It's probably their most listenable album. The best tracks on Ganging up on the Sun aren't as good as the best tracks on Keep it Together or Lost and Gone Forever but there aren't any tracks on GUOS that are unlistenable.

Tomorrow is thursday. THURSDAY! COME ON!!!!! Work did not suck today as much as it could've.

I think Matthew and I are going to a magic tourney on Sunday. It should be lots o' fun. It will also last a really long time. These sort of things do. They usually last about 1-2 hours too long. But hey, I really like limited magic, even though I suck at it.

Well I've said all I have to say.

Dodgeball and Sunburns

I am not a good dodger. Not at all. I got pegged a lot. Katie Jenkins was on my dodgeball team. It was pretty cool seeing her again. Cole Jenkins was also there and he is still on my top five coolest people I know list.

We played some magic tonight. It was pretty intense. Jonanthan kept winning and kept being suprised/angered when everyone would attack him, and then he would win anyway.

I am sunburned like a fish.

Oh yeah. I saw Squid and the Whale. I didn't like it. It was not a very satisfying movie.

Tired.
