Songs on Repeat During Summer 2009

I have been driving a lot this summer through the upstate South Carolina. There was a couple of weeks that my radio was out but NPR was a big help, especially around the hours of 7 - 9. But anyway, here are a few songs that when they came on my ipod or the radio, I could not get enough of.

Metric - “Gimme Sympathy”

They Might Be Giants - “Birdhouse In Your Soul”

God Help the Girl (Cathrine Ireton) - “God Help the Girl” (More on this later)

Belle and Sebastian - “Funny Little Frog”

Elvis Costello - “Sulfur to Sugarcane”

Just Consider this a Hiatus for a Couple Weeks Longer

Due to an infinate amount of work, (9 hours a day for seven days a week…) I have placed this blog on an extended hiatus. I mean I have been way too busy to come up with new ideas. If this Canada thing works out, I will probably have a post then. We will see. For now, here are a few things that I have become addicted too over the summer.

• Coffee - I am not a big coffee drinker, but for being the type of guy who falls asleep after mid-night, waking up at six in the morning can be difficult. Thanks to coffee, I have been able to make it through the mornings. Two packets of cream and loads and loads of sugar please.
• Mountain Dew - Same as the coffee except it works for the afternoons. It helps with long boring drives. That and there is something in it with an addictive quality. I do not know what it is. Could it be what makes up the dew?
• Six Feet Under - Thanks to the public library, I have been able to catch up with movies and television shows. Six Feet Under is great and I am trying to finish the entire series before the end of summer. Almost finished with season three and only have a week or two to finish the rest. There are so many great and reconizable actors in it as well, many who are there for just one episode but it is like ‘hey, is that the person from ____________’.
• Dexter - I think this goes along with Six Feet Under because they both have Michael C. Hall in them. It is interesting to see him go from a funeral home director who is gay to a dark humored serial killer. Very diverse. Now in Dexter, the story line is fantastic and since Showtime is showing two episodes every Sunday night, I am getting caught up pretty quickly.
• Scott Pilgrim - Read my earlier blog. Still working on reading the entire series and following the movie blog. The cast is growing and the scenes are looking spectacular. Along with the Scott Pilgrim blog, i am also following Edgar Wright’s blog as well. He is such a tease giving a single picture each day of his Scott Pilgrim film along with other things from his life.

I think that is a good list to get through this dry spell. Trust me, once work is though with and I get back into a good pattern, more updates will come. Expect small posts till then.

Going To Be Honest Here...

That last post I made, not the one about the public library, the one about teen dramas, sucked… I do not regret the post, just feel it was not my best. Not even close to good. Yeah… so next post will be better. Promise. Just need to figure out what the next topic will be.

Oh while we are being honest… this tumblarity thing sucks. If I stay at zero who cares..
