Two cents on three albums

Recent albums I put on my iPod and my opinions thereof.
Yeah, I’m not ashamed to say I’ve got this on my iPod. Ok, well, maybe a little. But I know I’m not the only one (I’m looking at you, Anita!). I’ve listened to this album a few times because I really, [...]

This is how it works

I am getting pretty good at channeling my job unhappiness into applying for new jobs. I’ve already applied for one today–a customer support engineer position with some HPLC company I’ve never heard of. I was spurred to it by someone ganking my roto-vap when I wasn’t looking. Grr.
Anyway, I’ve been on a Regina Spektor kick [...]

Music I dig

Hey, so are any of the places you guys work hiring? Just curious. I have been cruising the monster.com, and it’s not looking promising at the moment. Also: does anyone know how to make a transition from one line of work to another? In particular, how do you market yourself when [...]

A little something(s) to keep you occupied

[Oooh, check it out--third day in a row of posting! I told you I'd keep up with the "posting more often" thing.]
I feel like I need to pass on some things that have made me happy lately so that perhaps they may make you happy, too. So here are some reviews. And links, too, if [...]

Ok Go

Wish I had time to write a real post, but since I don’t and I have to keep you entertained so you keep coming back here, I have provided a video to keep you occupied until I can write more:
Ok Go – Here It Goes Again
Best. Video. Ever. And their album is pretty good, too.

Coffee in the River City

I keep trying to figure out why I think Brisbane is vastly superior to Sydney. Maybe because it’s less cramped. I dunno. And oddly enough, it sort of reminds me of Key Largo (but much bigger, fewer rednecks, and a river instead of the ocean). It’s got a tropical feel to it, much like Florida. [...]

So long, mate

Meet Trevor’s successor, the Creative Zen Microphoto (haven’t come up with a name for him yet).

He’s smaller than Trevor in size and capacity, but he can do photos and other cool tricks Trevor the iPod could never do. He holds 8GB of stuff. The one I got is a white and shimmery (the Aussie who [...]

All the happiness a $15 iTunes card can buy

3. I have an irrational fear of elevators. (Confused? Clickhere.)
One of my aunts gave me a $15 iTunes gift card for Christmas. Here’s what I bought:

“Jenny Says,” Cowboy Mouth
“Love of My Life,” Cowboy Mouth
“Summertime,” The Sundays
“Your Eyes,” The Sundays
“Wild Horses,” The Sundays
“Time After Time,” Sparklemotion (from the “Napoleon Dynamite” soundtrack)
“In Space,” Royksopp
“Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” [...]

Muzak

After reading Phetus’s music review post, I feel like posting some of my own music reviews. Not that anybody particularly cares about my taste in music, but here’s what I’ve been interested in lately. I’m not good at reviewing music. So sue me.
