turns out that the lobby of the Philly Sheraton smells just like the lobby of the NOLA Sheraton (which in turn smells just like my Demeter fig leaf perfume, I think). I suppose it's not a coincidence, and I shouldn't really be that surprised, but I am ( Read more... )

I really need to go to bed (fucking jury duty at the ass end of dawn tomorrow!) but vijin linked to the YouTube of Eddie and Jasper's karaoke one last time, which finally made it easy for me to rip the audio.

albauk, you'll be pleased to know that I've been listening to Battle all damn day. :) I moved into a big shared office the day before I left for the Franztravaganza (it's basically a party when all five of us are here; nothing gets accomplished, it's great), and as a result I feel justified in clamping my headphones over my skull and listening to ( Read more... )

okay, so I have the two Friday shows still to write up, and that's gonna take forever. I'm not so concerned about forgetting details at this point, since they're the most recent shows, and the ones I've rerun the most in my mind. what I am worried about, though, is letting the way I feel right now be forgotten, because chances are that I'll slip ( Read more... )
