somehow i forgot to post this.  oh well.  here it is 3 days late:

so yeah, it’s st. patrick’s day. the day named after a saint that is most commonly associated with going out to bars and drinking. i’m not condemning the process, just the saintly association. i almost got roped into it, but a call back never came, and i don’t feel left out at all. i don’t need to go out and experience the live version of this. in fact, i’d rather just stay home, catch up on some reading, and maybe even watch my netflix that has been here for a a week and a half now. i did at least move it from my desk to the coffee table on saturday. it’s now a whole 5 feet closer to the dvd player. progress!

unlike this recent quote from dmx, that got him the daily honor on 23/6. the whole interview can be found here for some even more disturbing context. you know, there is a lot of blood on the hands of people in washington right now for the current state off affairs but at the other end of the spectrum, perspective like that isn’t exactly helping things either.

staying in the wonderful world of music, i caught a blurb the other day that said something about metalica re-releasing albums on vinyl to try and curb bootleggers. now there are a lot of ways to get a record into a digital format, but aquire might have one of the coolest.
