Some random things I've noticed.

• Dead Like Me was truly, painfully good. I say painfully because we're watching season 2 on dvd and it hurts to remember that the Fucktards In Charge cancelled it.
  

• Sometimes, you just have to think about quantum mecahnics, M theory, and the origin of the universe. What's odd (and somewhat frightening) is how intuitive M theory is compared to quantum mechanics. At least, it is for me. Your mileage may vary.
  

• The new Dixie Chicks album= Love. Seriously. They collaborated with Pete Yorn and Neil Finn, people. That fact alone makes me want to have their babies.
  

Kidding aside, learning that NF worked with them on "Silent House" made a lot of sense to me. I can easily hear his influence on the chord progression, the sparse but affecting imagery. I can hear how he'd sing it, were he to record the number, and I'm certain it would be good. But there's something Natalie Maines brings to the vocal that I don't believe he could. As her lead twines around Martie Maguire's counter, they approach that wistful, aching, high lonesome sound that's so effective in bluegrass music.

• A movie theater is a bad place to have a major life-changing realization. Just, so you know.
  

• Fucking drosophila! They get on my last good nerve.
  

• World Cup! Woo!
