Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve made a legit post.  Sorry, that’s lame.  I’ve been doing a lot of work on the house, including my big move from the second floor to the “garden” unit.  I’m about to redo all the electric on the second floor, then I’ll give it a good, neutral paint job and a brand new kitchen.  So I’ll probably have some home-improvement posts in the next couple weeks.  When I get back from the gym today, I’ll clean up my apartment and put up a little tour video of the new digs.  Anyhow, there’s a few things that I would normally actually write about, but I’m just going to.. .  I don’t know.  mention them.

Music- St. Vincent’s new album, Actor, is awesome.  None of the tracks get em as stoked as “Marry Me John” but the album is fantastic.  Also fantastic, the Bill Callahan record Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle is really great too.  I picked up Numero Group’s fourth Eccentric Soul comp featuring Detroit’s Big Mack label.  Like all in the Eccentric Soul series, this record is fantastic.  Those Numero Group folks really know what’s what.  The Mint Chicks Screens is growing on me.

This person is a dummy, though I’m stoked to see the Senate apparently includes a 12-year old girl. This person is awesome, especially the last week from Iraq, and especially especially when he’s trying to train the cutest puppy on the planet to not eat ice cream. (Go to 3:10 for the actually funny part to begin.):

The Slide was a good book, especially if you’ve got any sort of vaguely positive or negative feelings for St. Louis, the Cardinals, Baseball, or having graduated college.

Okay, that’s it for now.  I gotta go to the gym, go to Target, go to the post office.  Wanna know how many Clif bars you can fit into an APO/FPO flat rate box?   Like 60!  Crazy!  And that’s not even taking them out of their box.  I bet I could cram in even more.
