[...i want you to love her as much as i do]

Thao w/The Get Down Stay Down. Love her.  Homygosh if I could play the guitar and sing like that, I would adore myself.
Well.  Probably not, but you get the idea.

The one about books & movies & Edward Norton & Edward Norton-related books & movies.

Movies:
Alright. Just saw The Strangers. How was it? Pretty damn terrifying. Actually, I’m still feeling tense and skittish and it’s in the middle of the afternoon and hot and summer-y outside. Would I recommend watching it? Yes, if you’re up for it. The little usher at the movies said he actually had to clean up [...]

The one with more links than you can shake a stick at.

Let me tell you: I’m super-excited right now. I feel like things are about to explode in a good way and I can hardly wait.
Also, I’m ready for Christmas.
On the personal front, I’ve shared openly this week with two groups of people about my alcoholism and how I have been saved by God’s grace. It [...]

The one where she rambles about music & God & fat jeans & xanadoo.

In case you’re wondering, the line-up you’re seeing at the top of this page is, from left to right: Mr. Pink (flint), Nice Guy Eddie (nice girl mel), Mr. Blonde (jane), Mr. Orange (dismarum), and Mr. White (kerbey). This is also useful information for flint and nice girl mel, who I’m pretty sure don’t actually [...]

This will all blow over in time.

More about God:
A few days ago I had a small epiphany. Want to hear? Great. Here goes:
So like I mentioned before, I’ve been reading Numbers recently. In addition to the constant rules and sacrifices, the main story line of the majority of the Pentateuch goes like this:
The Israelites are wandering in the desert, led by [...]

One for sorrow, two for joy. Three for girls and four for boys.

Happy Easter three days ago.
Here’s why I was excited about Easter:
I’ve been reading the Pentateuch recently on my journey through the Bible, and let me tell you–Leviticus and Numbers? Not that exciting. The vast majority of the books deal with rules of what can and can’t be done, explicit detailed descriptions of how things should [...]

[my body is all shook up, like a bottle of pop, and i wanna go off]

Real quick like, here. NPR is doing a blog dedicated exclusively to coverage at SXSW. I promised myself I would either make it to SXSW or Austin City Limits this year and, of course, I probably won’t. Reading the resulting entries of four people running on no sleep due to a massive [...]

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Okay.
Mixtape info is posted on pownce. If you don’t get it, well, something’s wrong with you. Or me. Or probably both of us. I’m pretty excited about all of this.
Other things on my mind:
1. I feel like I’m perpetually holding my breath.
2. I did finally exhale the other day after receiving tangible evidence reinforcing a [...]

[i’m frozen like a soldier]

My stomach hurts.
I’ve been oddly domestic this past week, resulting in me buying a moka pot, a teapot press, a set of Reidel stemless red wine glasses, and varying amounts of good whole bean coffee, strawberry tea, and cabernet. All have been getting relatively good usage, especially the moka pot. I should have [...]

[ohh. right]

Well it’s time for an update. The traveling part of TD made it back from out of state quite successfully; jane earned 4 points on the Colorado highway system, kerbey has mafia connections, and I saw Tegan & Sara and fell more in love than I thought I would. By the by, the [...]
