I was standing outside just a few minutes ago watching a sparrow fly around the entrance to my office building. It fluttered around a tree before heading straight into the glass windows on the front of the building. It looked dazed for a second then got a look on it’s beak like ‘what the hell is that about?’ It rocketed off to go do something else.
I laughed a little bit then turned to go inside. And walked straight into an open glass door.
It’s the little things sometimes, you know?
In other reasons why I’m cooler than you, I’m going to see my new favorite band tomorrow night at the Middle East: Voxtrot. They’re an Austin, TX-based five piece. I recommend you go check out their page and listen to the song ‘Firecracker’ and ‘Kid Gloves.’ Assuming the show doesn’t suck, I’ll try and get a review written on Friday.
One last thing. I signed up for Last.fm. (Iris welcomed me to the Internet when I told her I signed up.) Last.fm takes Pandora, bends it over a barrel and beats it with a belt like a red-headed step child. It streams music, lets you search for music and offers suggestions. Plus, you can use it to make friends. Or, if you’re like me, you can surf around other people’s musical taste and feel superior to them.
Check it out.

you can also share elsewhere what you’ve been listening to lately. e.g., toss your last.fm feed into an rss widget in your sidebar here. check it on my feeds page.
