Can you help me Occupy my brain, oh yeah

1. first thing i did this morning was glance in the lizard tank, as is my custom. Davey was perched on a branch, and appeared to be covered with huge blisters and a fine covering of gray mold. before i could shout "what the hell?" i realized that she was just molting, like she does every couple of weeks. you'd think i'd be used to that by now, but it always freaks me out at first glance.


2. Jen and i started off bread and soup season by having my mentor/pal/part-time-employer Grant over for dinner last night. on walking in the door the first thing Grant sez is "show me the basement of this house!" so we go downstairs, and Grant is looking around and saying "aha! i thought so!" Turns out one of his bandmates used to live in our apartment, and F/i actually practiced and recorded the album "Merge Parlor" in the room that i use as a workroom. strange coincidence, right down to the fact that Grant's 4-track and synth equipment sat right where my synth is now...

3. kudos to the Man Who Could Not Blog for keeping this here blog on topic, i.e. Very Mëtal. On his recommendation I just ordered the new SunnO))) cd, "Black One" which sounds really great. Go to Southern Lord's site and give the track off the new "Earth" album a listen, too. also, check out "Twilight", which reduces mëtal to one of its logical conclusions, a big old buzzing drone. Nutty. i think i need to pick that one up, as well.
