i failed to mention the new vinyl records i was able to get when i was up in NC. my friend dawn was kind enough to purchase and deliver the new john mayer on vinyl for me, the one with the cool white cover. also, i shopped at a used record store and picked up randy newman, kenny rogers, and cheap trick. as cool as those purchases may be, they aren’t quite as good as the original vinyl i ever had….THRILLER! i got that back in the day when vinyl was still a pretty legit format. i’m not even that old! of course, i got it as a gift, and i’m not sure if i even knew who MJ was at the time, i was listening to a lot of disney sing-a-long stuff.

also last week, i had dinner at brian’s. first time i had met him and his wife (in real life anyway), so that was cool. and then we ended up picking a movie to watch based on our inability to remember julia’s fiancee’s name in the wedding singer. we ended up hearing it about 100 times during the movie, so i don’t think any of us are going to forget.

oh yeah, and for you ryan fans (you know who you are!), check out the official website and what is apparently his rap debut. you don’t have to click anything, just load the page. :)

also, some friends and i started a new website and it’s turning out to be pretty fun. it’s not really focused on reviewing music or movies or anything like elitist hacks was. we just write stuff and post it. so check it out. it’s not too advanced yet, but eventually we’ll have things ironed out i think. i just like talking about it, and how exciting it is to think of what we could do with it.
