Currently enjoying “The King of Limbs” by Radiohead

, February 22, 2011

Radiohead released their eighth and latest album over the weekend, and as always, it’s a fine one. The eight tracks that make up Radiohead’s shortest record to date are jittery and jarring, generally hearkening back a little more toward Kid A than to later, more organic albums like Amnesiac or Hail to the Thief. But […]

She said

, February 22, 2011

So what did Donnie do, after texting me four or five times throughout the day to say he was actually taking care of dinner for once? He came home from work an hour late with a sack of damp hamburgers. “Wow,” I said. “Shitty fast food. You shouldn’t have.” He flashed me this weird, triumphant […]

Sick as a dog

, February 19, 2011

I haven’t done much with the old blog lately, let alone with any other project of mine, because I’m currently getting over a pretty disgusting illness. I took a couple of days off work, and I spent most of today in bed, but I hope to get back into the regular swing of things starting […]

Link of the Day: The Colbuffington Re-Post
