They say there is no Sanctuary. They say it’s a thoughtcrime to doublethink like I do. They say Simon didn’t really see the “Beast” on that island after the crash. They even say the soma is good for you, but I hear it’s high in calories.
Weird Al Yankovic has mixed feelings on downloading music from the Internet.
“I have very mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I’m concerned that the rampant downloading of my copyright-protected material over the Internet is severely eating into my album sales and having a decidedly adverse effect on my career. On the other hand, I can get all the Metallica songs I want for FREE! WOW!!!!!”—Ask Al Q&A for 7/5/03
I could listen to Iron & Wine pretty much all day long, especially this song. Is it any wonder that I&W had an album that ranked #6 on my crazy iPod journey I took last year? No, I think not.
“Abandoned Ode on a Styrofoam Cup”
by LoganKStewart
Thou white and blue cup of silence!
Thou sweet orphan of polystyrene and passion.
Has e’er there been a container as grand as thee?
How you quiver in the wind.
How you light and fail ‘neath the flame.
I just finished watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog again. I love it as much now as I did the first time I watched it. The plot is perfect, ripe with humor and emotion. The songs are all phenomenal. The ending is still tragic and sad. If you’ve ne’er watched it, then I strongly suggest that you do so immediately. All three acts are probably available somewhere fo’ free on the Interwebs.
Here’s a fan video someone created in response to Dr. Horrible. It’s an imagined 8-bit version of the musical’s first Act, and it’s pretty cool.
Thirty-one days til I’m in the Caribbean. My mind’s been on vacation for the last month or so. I cannot wait to be on the boat, surrounded by food and fun. I can’t wait to see the blue-green waters and feel the warm, coarse sands.
I watched Up in the Air last night. ‘Twas a good movie with great themes and acting, but quite sad, too. It left me filled with thoughts and possibilities, thinking about our modern world and the lack of personal relationships. George Clooney did an excellent job, as did all the other actors in the film. I felt the film hit the Realism aspect of life dead on.
Oh look! Is that a tulip sprouting from my flower garden I planted last weekend? And the hostas are growing up quite well, too.
