I knew a love that could scare all the wings off the doves,
outside my window as they'd stretch out their lungs

Been nice around here. Days walking around in short sleeves, nights bundled up like we aren't going to see the sun for months. Holidays and festivities dying down now, no more nog, our stomachs beginning to regain pre-November shape. This Christmas brought me a new one of these, and a really cool two-sided desk that I can't fit into my current apartment. I also finally have a copy of this to reference at will.
While still recovering from eating for two last night at the House of Stealth's New Year dinner, I'm preparing for more geekery. Rather, after the schooling I gave a Scialdeezee and a Gaddy, they should probably be the ones preparing. Scialdeezee worries me because he has a set in stone plan of action, assuming that he draws a majority of both Mordor and Gondor from the get-go.
R-Son was also kind enough to get me this. This man is honestly amazing. I didn't shut up about it for the first two or so days after getting it. Now I have just because people asked me to.
Off to study the Middle Earth map, we'll stop playing soon and actually start making rock. We did it the other day. For about 8 hours, really. Got some new stuff for the new year. And it all somehow got more confusing.
Ah, some albums, in no order, that were better than good last year:
Rachel's - Systems/Layers
Outkast - Speakerboxx/The Love Below
The Octobers - Lasso the Moon
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Sigur Ros - ( )
and yeah, The Darkness - Permission to Land
and of course, Johnny Cash - Unearthed, but it isn't technically and "album."
And for album that I should have been listening to all my life but never picked up until last year (yeah, I'll admit it, I used to have a sincere distaste for these guys): the Beatles - Abbey Road.
Happy New Year, feel free to yell all you like about the Beatles thing.
