We Don't Need to Fight and Cry

I haven't updated in so long. Mostly because I have been CRAZY busy with work. I've only had two days off in the past two weeks and going now. But honestly, I need it! I missed a whole month of work thanks to mono, so now I have to try and make it up. And if that means taking it to the streets, well heh heh heh....

My poor laptop is getting slower and slower. I think it's choking on pictures and songs; it wasn't really made to be a 'media computer', like all new computers these day seem to be.

What have I been downloading you ask? Some newer discoveries include Phoenix, the Paris-based newest addition to Arts & Crafts, Love Psychedelico, a charming Japanese 60's-inspired duo, as well as Amnesiac by Radiohead, an album I had been sadly lacking. Also a recording of Mushaboom that was a duet between Feist and Conor Oberst. He can not sing... and attempting it beside the likes of Feist only serves to highlight the fact. While his non-singing can sometimes be charming or useful for filling out the emotion of a lyric, it doesn't work for mushaboom and he sort-of slurs drunkenly in a style remeniscent of Lover I Don't Have to Love. Boo.

In other news, recording on the new Tori Amos album is, according to drummer Matt Chamberlain, finished. So now I supposed only mastering and re-takes remain, but the album is rumoured to be slated for a Spring '07 release... which is annoying. But perhaps the Rarities collection box set will be enough to tide toriphiles over.

I've been experimenting a lot with my hair lately, going from curly styles to mohawks to spikes, and ultimately all I concluded was that I need to dye or highlight it because it is boring.

I'm having a lot of fun at work lately, owing mostly to the fact that I enjoy everyone that I work with, regardless of the relatively higher volume of customers than my old store. I'm sort-of considering trying for a promotion, and I'll be talking about it with my assistant manager a bit more later. Anyway, it's just generally going well.

I'm gonna take off now, but hopefully I'll be in touch again soon.

and I thought OEDIPUS OEDIPUS OEDIPUS....
