I’m back in Los Angeles. I slept for about 10 hours and am still getting reacclimatized to this place. I’d like to extend a “Happy Mother’s Day” to my mom. Of course, she’s probably not reading this website today. She only ever visits the page when I’ve written something nasty about baby boomers or blamed my parents for making me a miserable human being. I don’t think she’s ever seen a positive note on this page. Oh well, I guess that’s my fault.
Also, congratulations to Nicci. She was in a student film that premiered tonight, and she was wonderful. If any clips ever show up on YouTube I’ll have to post them.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week’s theme is depression. That was the theme of almost every entry I made last week, so why not have the Sunday mix tape reflect that? I know I have used some of these songs before, but they’re all really good! The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
