Quiet nights in

Ahhh...this is more like it.

I've spent the better part of the past 4-5 weeks running around practicing and/or socializing (ok, and maybe some flirting), and it's good to have a night like tonight (and last night) to deflate. I watched a hilarious movie (Knocked Up) and was slightly let down by another (Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie-kiss my ass, it's better than most cartoons out there). Recently purchased albums include The Ritual Fires Of Abandonment by Minsk (opening up for Neurosis this Sunday...hell yes!), Load Blown by Black Dice and Fire Escape by Sunburned Hand Of The Man (envisioned, produced, mixed and edited by Kieran Hebden a.k.a. the brilliant Four Tet) in addition to a renewal of faith in the music of Red House Painters, Spacemen 3, The Verve and Spiritualized (these purchases brought to me courtesy of my recent 11% raise).

Saturday, weather/energy permitting, The Boy and I may head down to Millennium Park for the new Arctic: Soundscape installation. As on most weekends with L., we'll fly by the seat of our proverbial pants and see where that takes us.

One more reason to smile: finishing this entry up and heading to bed at 11:00 PM.


Zzz...
