i feel much better now. i still sat out from work, but i plan on making that time up, plus grabbing a few extra hours. i have a new apartment (or house!) to spring for in the next few weeks, so i need the extra cash.

to make myself feel better, i decided to make a mix cd. it kinda spans all of my past and present rock tastes. the track listing goes a little something like this:

Death March for a 1987 Accord
superchunk – like a fool
radiohead – idioteque (bbc)
dinosaur jr. – turnip farm
hey mercedes – the house shook
insidious – nothing's wrong
rem – so fast, so numb
the national acrobat – the mantis romantic
sonic youth – sugar kane
small brown bike – hideaway
deftones – mini maggot
nirvana – oh the guilt
rocket from the crypt – on a rope
the casket lottery – bill & axe
texas is the reason – a jack with one eye
shellac – canaveral
radiohead – lift (live)
fugazi – long distance runner
rolling stones – gimme shelter
superchunk – why do you always have to put a date on everything?

all together, it's a hell of a rock ride, i'd say. the whole thing got sparked by my need to have a copy of turnip farm for my car. i guess it just kinda snowballed.

i went out with paul earlier. we didn't do much, but it was nice to get out of the house and get some air. we just rolled out to a couple of comic shops to pick up some supplies for paul's ongoing comic "reorganization" project. a geek's tasks are never finished, i tell you.

i should know…
