I will continue my musical gluttony today as I head to the record store after work to pick up the new Green Day and Elvis Costello CDs. Both got decent reviews in EW (a magazine I really don't trust, but I haven't checked AP for the GD review, and of course the new Onion isn't up until tomorrow...so it looks like I'll get to form my own opinion before I read the opinion of those who I will most likely disagree with anyway).

My weekend was pretty tame. Friday night at the restaurant was both frustrating and unproductive, a trend which would continue on Saturday night. Saturday morning dawned with some LJ-ness and pancakes, and on Sunday I remembered why I try to spend time with boys who don't like sports. Yes, I sat through the Browns game and no, the book I brought, the nap I took, and the beer I drank could not make it entertaining. After football, football, and more football I practically dragged LJ out of the house and headed to Dave and Buster's to shoot some zombies and race some cars. It helped.

Been thinking quite a bit about S. these days. I suppose it's his birthday this Sunday that has my thoughts with him. Saturday night I waited on a gentlemen wearing a whole lot of Eternity, and it stopped me in my tracks. I can't believe how long it's really been. Feels like yesterday...

And with that I depart with the songs that are making me smile today...
