You know, when I first started this blog, I wanted it to consist mostly of music, movie, and literature reviews. However, since my music purchasing is erratic and impulsive, my movie preferences of late have been second rate and lazy, and my literature exposure....hahaha.....what literature exposure? Sad.
Anyway, I just got a new album recently and have been listening to it all day. I was able to get out of work slightly early, but this bug has prevented me from doing anything fun....just dozing on the couch. Well, I found that the Antony and the Johnsons album "I am a bird now" is the perfect soundtrack for it. Even the cover is interesting, which I think is a picture of a dying Candy Darling dying in her hospital room (was big in the Andy Warhold Factory from the 70's, died of leukemia). The most striking thing about this short, 35 minute, 10 track album is Antony's plaintive voice that sounds more than a bit like Nina Simone. I don't know where these people are from or when this album was recorded, but it's one of those albums that you pick up on a whim and end up secretly listening to over and over. A nice surprise for my fever dreams.
I got some great links below:
1) Best cheat EVAR: Ever play microsoft pinball for a zillion hours? Yeah, me too. Are you a cheater? Yeah, me too. Check out this totally awesome cheat....not much skill since you can control the ball with your mouse...impress some lady friends! (reason i'm still single)
2) Want to take pics like the pros? Me too! well, besides the fact that I have no talent, you can ACT like your a pro with these tips
3) Do you sometimes wonder if you are autistic? Whoa! So do I! Don't you think the our similarities are creepy? You're my bestest friend. Anywho, where was I? Oh yeah, autistic....here's a test to see if you are...
4) Interesting, if not alarmist, article from the NYT about regional effects of diabetes
5) Cool new Optimus keyboard, available Feb 1st, that each key is a tiny screen that can change functions when the apps change; very cool
6) What this guy learned at MIT...super, now I don't have to pay the tuition
7) Preshrunk is back online! yay! I love this wu tang t-shirt, too bad the company only has 2XL sizes or all my friends would be getting one

8) Very funny flickr tools; make magazine covers, see if your photos are on the "interstingness" link, make de-motivational posters, etc
9) Awesomest Flickr tool: draw a shape or a color and it will retrieve similar pictures with that shape or color. All day i've been looking at pictures of one color; just gorgeous
gotta go find some tissue. lates.
