Stuff

- I just got a gmail account. I understand all the privacy issues that go along with it, but holy crap is it cool.
- To slightly steal and tweak an idea from Tobin, best lyric I had heard before but never really paid attention to until recently: "A girl took down a book of poems (not to say which book of poems) / And as she read I laid my head (and I can't tell which head) / Down in her lap (and I can mention which lap)" from "Walt Whitman's Niece" by Woody Guthrie; performed by Billy Bragg & Wilco. A commie and filthy.
- I joined a kickball league. It just seems like the most absurd thing I can do. Plus, the funnest. Part soccer, part baseball, part chucking a ball at people.
- That band Wolf Parade is pretty good. So is Japanther. Check them out.
- For that matter, the M.I.A. album rocks. I don't like dance or electronica too much, but that chick brings it. I'm late for dinner on this one, but I really want to check out that Diplo (?) mixed tape that was released with M.I.A. on it.
- Look out. The Sabres are for real.
- 24 Oh. My. God. I'm sorry, because while they aren't mutually exclusive loves, it's way better than Lost.
