I went to the Virgin Megastore a couple of weeks ago, and everything was 40% off, but 40% off the $18 cover price still seemed like a lot, if I only really cared about a couple of songs -- which I can get off iTunes for a couple of bucks a pop. It seems like it's more about the single/album issue than anything. At least, to me it is. If I'm buying for singles, no way am I paying full album price when I don't need to.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hi, all. I haven't posted in here before, but I want to share... My niece's band, ThisMeansYou, won a contest - Metal Blade's "Search for the Next Great Metal Band" contest. She is awfully excited. The band won at Ozzfest a few years ago, and I'm not sure what that was about, but apparently there was a tv appearance. She also told me that their music is now available on iTunes and Pandora, which is even more exciting, to me.
So, if you're into metal, check out a few of their songs, and tell me what you think. I think they are really really good. Kim has wanted to be a rockstar since she was two. It would be amazing if they got a record deal!

It really was double-excllent, Sumi!
I recommend it. Particularly because flea's husband is a seriously accomplished pie-maker.

So really, there was no reason to delete.
Pie AND good record stores. (And of course, good friends.) What more could you ask for on a road trip?

Barbecue. Which we also had.
Plus: dachsund puppy, new kitten, sparklers, fireflies, old family photographs, swimming pools, baseball games and episodes of Avatar.

Sounds like a blast -tripwise. (Even though the occasion for the trip was sad.)

I am glad Wuxtry was worthwhile!
