It'll make sense when we grow up...

11/29/2005

Ice on the car again this morning…this has got to stop.

Austin American Statesman has an article re: the new Calvin & Hobbes collection that reprints the entire series…C&H is my favourite newspaper strip, especially after the strip got over it’s initial experimental slump and dove straight into what made it work so well- the world as seen through a mischievous and at times thoughtful little boy. I love the fact that Hobbes is not a gimmick- he’s always real because to Calvin he IS real… check it out at http://www.statesman.com/life/content/life/index.html

Saw an actual good reality show last night on PBS (presenting a BBC show) about a group of people trying/learning to be spies…it’s called creatively- SPY…learn more about it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/spy/index.shtml

Awesome article about Asian Americans making it back in Asia at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/11/27/MNGH0FU3OB1.DTL.

Today’s play list (remember, most of my CD’s are still in storage- so this is gonna get repetitive soon):

One Thousand Screaming Children- Cure Tribute: Tribute from indie Texas based bands, a lot better than I expected especially after multiple listenings

Wolf’s Rain Soundtrack: a more mellow but still jazz infused piece from Yoko Kanno…I have never seen the anime but plan to…the ecology angle always hooks me- really enjoyed Princess Mononoke and Arjuna who have similar themes

Alias Season 1 Soundtrack: JJ Abram’s bastard step child now that Lost is a hit but still the best thing he’s done…the music is good too- love James Bondian tributes…was watching the Tarantino two-parter last night and enjoyed it as much as the first time I watched it- which is odd- Alias is a show you can’t usually watch at random due to the complicated arcs…

Faith- the Cure (special ed. 2nd disc): Love the Cure Special Editions! The second discs are totally awesome…can’t wait for the Wish one with the Lost Wishes…this one has some great alternate takes…yellow, yellow so cold!

Welcome to Earth- Apoptygma Bezerk: Not as great as their other albums but still a good listen…the album version of Kathy’s Song is a must listen to!
