music video junkie

I have really really missed VH1 Classic. I've been tivo'ing up
The Alternative lately. Think old 120 Minutes.

I still have no time to have a life lately. It will get better,
eventually, really.

I was going to mention that I finally got around to getting
into Doves' third album, Some Cities. Dissolving into it.
You should too, it's lovely.

Aunt Noriko, in her and my uncle's freshly restored house.

Their house had five or six feet of water - it was storm
surge so the waterlines are not as pronounced as elsewhere.
They had flood elevations on their side, and insurance money
that actually came. The house is beautiful now.

I did a guest post about New Orleans for his weblog.

1975 ipod

portable music

No, I have no idea if it works. Found at a consignment furniture
shop about a month ago.

I've taken to cooking up my own ringtones lately, it's quite fun.
I assigned Trans-Europe Express to everyone that wakes me up with
work to do. Default is a snippet of Joe le Taxi.

escape sequence

Is this not the opening sequence to an action movie?

straight from the gulf

fresh shrimp

My mawmaw, you see, she's as cajun as the sky is blue. This
comes with an ability to find excellent seafood for cheap.
That lovely and his friends pictured there cost $1.50 per pound,
bought a few hours after they were caught.

Boiled a few pounds tonight and froze the rest, and I'm getting
some for my freezer too. Mom came back from da bayou with about
30 pounds.

And people wonder why we live here?
