sotd: Smashing Pumpkins – Spaceboy
Published by July 28th, 2009 in music musings, music suggestion, song of the day and you tube. 1 CommentI have stated at least once before on this very blog, that Smashing Pumpkins’ sophomore album, Siamese Dream pretty much shaped how I felt about music; and it was one of a couple albums that signaled the beginning of when I truly started to appreciate and enjoy music at the level that I do now.

5SF: july 24
Published by July 24th, 2009 in five song friday, music musings and music suggestion. 4 CommentsI can’t believe that July is almost over; this year is FLYING by. Oh well, at least it has been bearable outside lately, which is very odd for a summer in HOTlanta… but don’t worry, I am NOT complaining. The five tracks I chose for today, will probably have a little something for everyone, and [...]
teacher furloughs: a new low for Perdue
Published by July 23rd, 2009 in get involved, is it just me?, near and dear, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 5 CommentsWhen James mentioned that they were going to be asking teachers to take 3 unpaid days to “make up for a huge deficit”, I honestly thought he was joking.

5SF: july 17
Published by July 17th, 2009 in five song friday, music musings, music suggestion and shiny stuff. 2 CommentsAfter losing a pair of Bose headphones to the apparent “inevitable” breaking of the damn things, I have been looking for headphones to listen to my music this morning. I have two pairs of in ear-phones currently (Bose in-ear Triport and the Shure sound isolating 210′s), and while I like them both for different reasons, [...]
sotd: Daniel Bedingfield – Nothing Hurts Like Love
Published by July 16th, 2009 in music musings, music suggestion, song of the day and you tube. 3 CommentsI was just listening to my ipod on shuffle, and a song from Daniel Bedingfield’s sophomore album, Second First Impression came up, prompting me to give it some well deserved attention this afternoon. I can’t believe that this record came out almost 5 (!!!) years ago, and there hasn’t been anything new from Daniel in [...]
ikea faucet installation how to: something you need to know
Published by July 14th, 2009 in flickr, home improvement and listen up!. 42 CommentsOh Ikea… how do I love thee? I could go on forever counting the ways. For me, there is something cathartic about putting together your cute furniture, and a sense of accomplishment that comes along with it that is unlike most other things in this world. HOWEVER (and that is a BIG however), occasionally, you [...]
