Some things that I think are awesome tonight:

So Long and Thanks For All the Shoes, by NOFX.  This albums really is great.  I kinda wish it were their last.  I recently looked for reviews of it when it first came out more than a decade ago, and most people didn’t like it.  I loved it then and I love it now, even while my other hundred or so pop-punk albums remain unlistened to for years.

The Postal Service (band) was nearly sued by the Postal Service (government agency) for trademark infringement.  Instead, they found a solution that benefited both groups and everyone was happy.  The band keeps its name in exchange for doing some promo stuff for the government agency.  I thought it was a joke when I first heard about it.

Hillary Clinton has suspended her campaign.  Her speech today was great.  I mean, any speech that resulted in her stopping would have been great, but I was glad to hear her enthusiastically support Obama.  Though there were a handful of us who wouldn’t have voted for one Dem had the other Dem lost, I hope that those people who really agree with Democratic Party principles will put those ideals ahead of their disappointment.  Of course, I’m only barely aligned with the Dems, but I hope I was in a tiny majority.

One thing that’s not awesome: the new dog tried to eat two of my records (Roots Radics and Caustin Resin) but he only was able to chew up the covers.  And he shit on my r*g.  Wait..  I mean he sh*t on my rug.  I mean he p00ped on my r(_)g…  Oh well.  I’ve had such good luck so far, I can’t complain about one incident.
