Graffudity. This is completely unnecessary and I’m really sad that she’s filling with a stock cap, but I guess I can’t complain too much.

Cursive - This House Alive

There are voices in the dead of night
A child screaming, “I am Gemini!”
Oh, what are you, and why?
Are you specter? Are you spirit?
Am I lucid, am I losing it?

This album has some clear throwbacks to pre-Domestica era songwriting. Despite a few lackluster tracks, this is a solid album. Fur sure.

Follow Up of the Day: Tommy Jordan, the former Marine who made waves last week with a video of himself putting his own laptop out of its misery, was visited by Child Protective Services officials as well as local police officers in the wake of his Internet stardom.

The Child Services agents reportedly interviewed the Stanly County, NC man and his daughter separately, but took no action. The police, however, did have something to say to Jordan: “Kudos.”

“I actually had a “thank you” from an entire detectives squad,” Jordan wrote in a Facebook post published over the weekend. “And another police officer is using it in a positive manner in his presentation for the school system. How’s about those apples? Didn’t expect THAT when you called the cops did you?”

Many people apparently called to ask Albermarle police what was being done about the angry dad, but were told there was nothing that could be done as Jordan lives outside city limits, and therefore outside police jurisdiction.

Speaking with Channel 9, a Stanly County Sheriff’s Office spox said Jordan broke no laws, and an investigation would not be launched.

Cable Companies Want Government to Help Them Increase Your Bill & Limit Competition

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:13:00 -0500

Cable Companies Want Government to Help Them Increase Your Bill & Limit Competition:

“Amidst flat and declining cable TV subscription numbers, Cable companies are lobbying the FCC to force every cable subscriber to rent cable boxes or cable cards even if they don’t want or need them now.”

In addition to this, cable companies have started a smear campaign on Twitter against Boxee and defenders of the consumer’s right to NOT have a cable box. Boxee has a rebuttal post explaining factually incorrect statements that cable companies have made.

This is insanity. (via Boxee Blog)

Slow Runner - She Wants to Wrap Her Legs Around the World

At one point, Slow Runner’s Mermaids was one of those albums that just felt like it was written for me at that exact moment in time. For a couple years, the album was hard to swallow due to the darker memories it stirred up.

Now, on the flipside of things, the music triggers a whole different image — or at least a different viewpoint of the same story. A hazy overlay of alcohol-induced pornography, intense fights, and poor choices. It’s like I have my own little perfectly appropriate music video every time I listen to this album.

Silly Google. Of all the things Google does right, they still can’t get basic voice recognition down. Mind you, this voicemail CAME FROM GOOGLE VOICE. To top that, it’s an automated voicemail.

Happy Valentine’s Day To Yourself by Bryce Warner

A special Valentine’s Day card you can print out yourself for… yourself. Just make sure you dont get jealous that you’re giving yourself too much attention. You’re very unlikable when you get like that. Gyad, you hate you.

Super Bowl Sniper Nest. Today I learned that this is actually a normal thing at some stadiums and large events like the Super Bowl. They have several snipers mounted over the game, looking down. Makes sense, but still kind of crazy to think about. (via Reddit)

2012, a year of adventure...

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:33:00 -0500

It’s only February and I already have a busy year ahead of me. Ireland for Saint Patrick’s Festival in March, NYC for the Refused reunion in April, and now the Outer Banks for alcohol and friendship in May.

What’s could the rest of this year possibly hold? Well, here’s some hopefuls:

- Extended weekend in WA or OR, backpacking, this summer.
- Spring / fall backpacking trips in NC & VA.
- Another trip overseas in the Fall / Winter.

I’m going to run out of PTO so quick.
