I stole the idea for this cute little countdown feature straight from the far-superior blog bag 'n' trash, a fellow member of the mini knits webring. Wanna buy me something for one of these upcoming events? Well, I do have an online wishlist. Hee.
from the back catalog:
  • whatever my iPod decides to serve up to me
  • Rilo Kiley, Take Offs and Landings
  • Motown Records #1 Hits from the Early 60's compilation
new stuff:
  • Weezer, Make Believe
  • Grey DeLisle, Iron Flowers
  • Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill (I got it for $3 used, okay? It's a high-school nostalgia thing for me, alright? Lay off.)

the promised quickie, frivolous post

Okey, I finally put a picture in my profile. Yeah, it's a comic-book version of me. I made it at this neat site, then edited it a bit with Graphic Converter. It actually does look the tiniest bit like me - or rather, it did, when I stil had long hair and thick-frame glasses.

I suppose I should take this opportunity to note that I am not particularly pro-gun or anything. I am also not, however, particularly anti-gun. I've never fired one, but I bet I will someday. I would like to learn more about firearms, for the same reason I'd like to learn to fly a plane, and I'd like to skydive, and I want to go to Antarctica. I just want the experience, even if it's not something I continue to do on a regular basis. I want the knowledge.

Also: icky! What the heck is this world coming to??
