darklight only between 1030 and 330 is great, it must be in recognition of my most, (but often admittedly post) productive hours. how ill miss this.

i watched some episodes of generation kill again today, which led to no end in sight, which led to why we fight, which led to gunner palace (docus). 6 years ago feels like yesterday still, but at the same time its so far removed. it was all so different then. the bad reality show is ending there, but i miss being the antagonist. this thought has just conjured up images of palin in 2012, i retract my statement.

veckatimest is the best thing ive heard in ages, if 22 plays in 3 days is any indication.
bolano elevates himself above mcewan on the arbitrary 'best novelists' list. whether he is at the top or not, i cannot say. nonetheless it is significant.

im totally put off by the economy. bigger problems elsewhere. give paul krugman his money, im tired of reading about it all.

champions league final was gads but i cannae be bothered.

shame.

we have a kitten now. mirror stage via the piano. always a fun spectator sport that.




more or less new. also more or less old.




i'm really into these guys. kind of have that british sea power feel to them, which is never a bad thing.

if justice souter can be like that, i can be like that too. upon seeing the pictures of his house, i smiled and got the feeling i rarely get, the best one. the one that we might never get in a bad year and the one we get maybe three times in a good one. the editorial we of course.
