So after a long hiatus, here it is. Me. In all my coffee-drinking, mismatched socks and bedhead glory. I've been discovering again how much a person can actually get done when you don't stay out until 3 (let's just call it 3) in the morning. Bear with me dear reader, sometimes it takes me a while to figure these things out on my own. This is pretty much standard Erin procedure- I I light the candle at both ends, and maybe even in the middle for good measure all summer long, and then retreat to a quieter lifestyle as temperatures drop. So, like last winter, you'll find much more of these tidbits coming and going. I've also dicovered that this is an excellent activity whilst burning cd's or uploading to the Ipod. Which, believe it or not, usually takes up the first pre-coffee hour of my day. Sounds like a lot of cds to be messing about with, eh? Oh my friend, you have no idea. The addition of a new server in my house whose sole purpose is to hold all my music has unleashed the nerd in me. I can't seem to fill it fast enough.
Today's acquisition is Nuggets II- a collection of garage and psych from the UK and beyond. Man, I knew I should've sprung for the bigger Ipod. Take it from me, the mini will not be enough.
Isn't it funny that as human civilization rolls right along one of the most expensive commodities is space? As we all consume and buy more stuff the problem of space becomes more evident- where the hell can I put it all? A sad state of affairs really, unless of course you are speaking of record collections, at which point, i figure, go crazy.

So maybe you've heard that 'God' has granted a reprieve to America's paganism. The president of Bob Jones University wrote a letter to our favorite president expressing his relief that 'God' will stay in the White House. The letter was posted on the Bob Jones site, but has been pulled. Luckily you can still read it here. This coming from the school that ended it's ban on interracial dating in 2000. I hear they're even going to allow girls to wear slacks next. It is baffling to me the infinite number of people one can laugh at on any given day. So today Bob Jones III gets our award for the meathead of the day.
