what are they haunted by

Sunday I went with Sharkey & Tina to see toy story in 3D. the 3D was nothing special, but it was good to finally see it on the big screen.

the previous two days at work were overwhelming. this changeover seemed small before it started but really wih all the changes at work took way more time than Eric or I expected. having today off was a wonderful thing. I needed a break.

last night I had a good mini chat with hana. i normally don't talk about my feelings and fears so it was good to get it out. I am just bummer that it happened in the wee hours of the morning... she had to wimp out and go to sleep since she had work early.

today I didn't do too much. I got the new albums by the gossip and Brandi Carlile. I finished my bag of snickers I've been working on. I'm currently listening to "daisy" and drinking some coffee.

tomorrow I get to sleep in but I don't plan on doing that. I am going to get up at a reasonable time and listen to some of the vinyl I have purchased in the last couple weeks but have yet to hear. I want a turntable in my room. hopefully some day soon that can happen.

YouTubeWed -- #001

(i wanted to make it YouTubeTuesdays, but tuesdays are when new releases come out and that might be too much on one day. then i was thinking about thursdays, but i don't like how that YouTubeThursdays sounds. So wednesday won because i needed a day.)

Brandi Carlile - The Story (live on conan)


I love this song for many reasons but the main one is when her voice sounds horse and crackly. And apparently when it happens live, i love it even more. It isn't perfect but i think that adds to the song. She has an amazing voice so she could have worked it to sound flawless. However, the rawness of those moments adds another dimension to the song and the feelings behind it. The record this comes off of is great as well, it upstaged her first record by miles.

She is playing two dates in new york on the VH1's 'You Oughta Know' tour with A Fine Frenzy on Oct 3rd & 4th at Irving Plaza. I'm not going to either, which i know i am going to be sad about on Oct 5th.
