I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue

Thanks to Santa, I was able to wake this morn to the sweet, embracing, warm sound of Jeff Tweedy. And now, barely awake, GY!BE is making my Top 5 list. Noted the irony of reading the back of their album yesterday, laughing at the diagram of how major record corporations are connected to arms manufacturing, and then realizing that my job probably fits somewhere in there.
Ah, and I stayed up way too late watching a special on the Tron DVD, because I am a dork, and way behind in the times, what with getting a DVD player years after they have been made standard in homes. Until now I was happy with tapes. And my album above is on CD, recorded by Albini. Man, I am so kicked out of the analog club.
Driving back, formulated plans. Noticing that RMSN is getting to spend an entire month in foreign lands did not help my current discontent. The ball has been rolling, and now I want it to be rolling faster.
My Word-A-Day calendar doesn't start for another few days. I wish I could go ahead and start looking. Perhaps I'll master TWO words-a-day next year, just to make up for the blank slate that has been made of most of my college learnings. And I got an earthquake detector. It kinda fascinates me.
