glowie keyboards, iPod and thou...

it's been an amazingly relaxed day-it helps, actually, that i was sick and have basically been lying around doing very little all day. i fired up the iPod and listened to all sorts of stuff, including Smodcast wtih Kevin Smith, and my sleepytime playlist. I forgot how amazing it is just to listen. I really get reminded at such times about how i just love music. Much like books, it gives your imagination free rein to go where it will.
I downloaded some good stuff this week that is upbeat and fun: Above and Beyond, Felix da Housecat, Tranzident and 16-bit Lolita's. I loved the latter's name so much that I downloaded it simply because of that. Turns out, it's actually good...a little rough, but good.
Now we're about to go over to Kris and Jerry's and do dinner and give Um his Christmas present...and show him the sword he bought for me. Still contemplating how to really make it mine...er, without killing someone with it, that is.
