seasleepySo, um, still alive. I keep starting LJ entries, and I keep thinking about things that would make good entries, but none of them are getting posted. We're changing this.
BLAM is out today. I just unwrapped my copy, and holy crap, I love the artwork. Love love love. And I still love the album a whole damn lot. Most of my initial impressions still hold, except I think I just like everything more than I did then. I seem to be somewhat unusual in this, but I think it's passed Maroon to be my new favorite BNL album. Yeah, it's more downbeat than their other ones, and yeah, that makes BLAMen kind of crazy hyper in places, but I don't care, because I like BLAM so fucking much.
My opinion hasn't really changed at all on BLAMen, mostly because I keep listening to BLAM instead. Maybe by January I'll be ready to absorb the rest of it properly. ;)
No Houston show on the 10th makes me sad. And it means the logistics for Austin are going to be interesting, given we'll have me and Jerry from here. Amy and Sandra may come, but they are likely to also attend a football game here in College Station which starts at 1...the concert starts at 7:30, and it takes probably about 2 hours to get to the Backyard from here. Also in attendance will be Amy nee-T, who will be coming from San Antonio, and who I'd like to, you know, get to hang out with a bit since I haven't seen her in forever. Also, Amy and Sandra don't have tickets yet. Also also, if Amy and Sandra do come, we might have to find lodgings in Austin. Somewhere. I don't think there are any particularly near the Backyard.
I had lots of ranting in here before yesterday which I decided not to post. I probably would have ranted had I been watching TV live last night or if I'd watched the news, instead, I just watched the Today show rerun on MSNBC, then turned it off while they were all still wondering whether or not it was a bomb at the Pentagon, and listened to "Take It Back" about 3 times on my way in to work. It fit.
....And to keep this entry from being entirely related to Barenaked Ladies (seriously, I have other things to talk about, this is just what seems to be getting in here lately), I set up a new Windows machine for myself at work, and found a gorgeous combo of litestep theme and visual style (yeah, vista-y, and, yes, I am a giant sucker for eye candy...but it's so pretty). I don't normally like dark themes, and the LS theme is set up somewhat different than I'm used to, we'll see how this one sticks.
