minervacat at 03:08pm on 08/01/2009 under media:music spam, personal:photos, sports:college football- In January, I'm taking a picture of everything I eat every day. It's fun -- it makes me eat better, mostly out of potential embarrassment when I do things like eat chocolate pudding for breakfast, which I did today -- but I don't think I can make it a year long project. So I will eventually be looking for a new photo-a-day project for February. Y'all have any awesome ideas? Themes or foci good, randomness bad. (I already take a random photo a day, besides the food; mostly random photos of the sky on Franklin Street, because that's all I see in daylight hours.)
- I have recently acquired three truly excellent albums that I basically added to my iTunes library on complete whims, and I can highly recommend all of them. (Well, okay, I got a Physics of Meaning track from the Indy's Top 40 Tracks of 2008 and I saw Deleted Scenes play a set between two local bands Tuesday, but basically whims, all right?)
The Physics of Meaning -- Snake Charmer & Destiny At The Stroke Of Midnight. Sample track: ["Aeroplanes & Hurricanes"] .mp3, 9MB. Intense enormous-sounding orchestral indie rock.
Deleted Scenes -- Birdseed Shirt. Sample track: ["Ithaca"] .mp3, 8MB. Sort of like Beach House in tone, but louder.
Forest Fire -- Survival. No sample track because the whole album is available at that link, for free, from their label. This reminds of me of what would happen if current indie rock had babies with Keep It Like A Secret-era Built To Spill. - The college football season officially ends tonight with the Ridiculous Let's Talk About How The BCS Fails At Everything FedEx National Championship Bowl, That Tebow Man-Child and Percy Harvin's Hospital Records vs. Sam Bradford, Heisman Winner, and The Amazing Leaking Oklahoma Defense (at least that's how the internets keep portraying them to me, it's nothing personal against OU,

febrile, and frankly mostly I've just been reading headlines and not articles, because lazy), and I really just do not care in any way about that game. I love college football; I find bowl season sort of mind-numbingly boring and it goes on forever and ever. Let me tell you the only three amazing things that happened this bowl season: TJ Yates melted down in the last six minutes of the UNC/WFVU game like the punkass lame-o he is; Utah stuck it to the Devil by sacking John Parker Wilson, the man who through his name and his bangs is suited to do nothing but quarterback Alabama, eight times; and the Nuttcase demolished Graham Harrell and the Pirate King of Texas, thus proving that Houston Nutt is officially the most insane head coach in college football and not necessarily proving anything about football at all.
All that said, I'm rooting for Sam Bradford because I like it when the Tebow Man-Child cries, and I lovefebrile, and despite my love for Graham Harrell (so much love, you guys), I also have a fair amount of residual fondness for OU after watching many years of OU football in Chicago. And I'm totally not going to bother watching the game. - I have had this little journal box open all day and I can't think of anything else to put into it. I listened to all my backlogged podcasts and did zero work today? :D? :D?
