I often wish I had an interesting accent.

its time for an Oopdaht. Which is swedish chef for update.

Well then. I had a job, but kinda lost it because the painting company ran out of regular work for me. But I am working tomorrow, which hopefully means I will get called about occasional work. In the meantime I am getting ready to move to a new place and looking for work.

I should post a group pic of Chloe and Sam's puppies. Cuz they are super cute. And fun. And Mel is taking one. A little blue eyed, caramel colored bundle of softness. She named him Osiris because he looks kinda wise and contemplative, much like an ancient Egyptian god might be like.

I have been listening to a WHOLE lot of Mew and Royksopp lately. Mew has a new album (I think it dropped in August... but that may have just been in Europe) called "No More Stories Are Told Today I'm Sorry They Washed Away // No More Stories The World Is Grey I'm Tired Let's Wash Away". Its a slightly verbose title perhaps, but it contains some fantastic music. Just search for Repeaterbeater, Introducing Palace Players or Hawaii by Mew on Youtube and enjoy. And Royksopp is just generally some of my favorite electronic music out there. Its always got a strange, haunting sense of joy to it.

I also decided that, despite rather enjoying techno and electronic music in general, I can't get into trance. For no other reason than, while I listen to it, I keep having cool base lines and melodies play in my head that would sound neat... and the artist in question doesn't capitalize on it... just keeps the same loop going. I guess folks on E don't really care that much.

Well, I am really looking forward to heading to Sioux Center for Christmas and seeing friends and family again. Because you are all missed.

Cheers.
