a new monday, a new bucket and dog:

my addiction to wikipedia turned out to be a gateway drug. the other day it turned me onto the vilely addictive logic game Su Doku. i can't stop. i've moved up to the mediumly difficult ones and i can get thru a puzzle in 10 minutes. pretty soon the mediums won't be enough for me, i'll be taking on the really hard ones, and then after that i'll resort to mainlining sudoku puzzles and panhandling to support my habit.

here is what they look like:


each 3x3 cube has to have each number, 1 thru 9. so does each row. so does each column. when you finish the puzzle and everything adds up, it gives you a sublime sense of utter perfection, like everything is right in the universe.

here's what the little bastards look like when i'm done with them:


yeah! take THAT, numbers. BAM.

:)

the vea comic books finally arrived! want one? they're only $4!

best online comic of the week!

new bucket and dog!

i got tagged by lauren for a quizzy quiz. :D

Total size of music files on my computer: holy crap. um. 22.01 GB. that's a lot. my itunes says that the library playlist is 14 DAYS long. _DAYS_.

The last CD I bought was: pachuco boogie!! i love arhoolie records.

Song playing right now in iTunes: the office is quiet right now. let's pretend it's "sister kate" by the ditty bops.

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me: I am just going to be lazy and sort my iTunes library by playcount. So there.

1. "Lifetime Piling up" by Talking Heads
2. "Bienvenidos al Tren" by Sui Generis
3. "Minha Menina" by Os Mutantes
4. "I wear your ring" by Cocteau Twins
5. "Hot Topic" by Le Tigre

you can d/l them here if you want but only for a little while. :)

um, anyone who wants to do this who reads my blog, you are officially tagged. :)

mayor daley's grafitti patrol is outside right now blasting the tags off the side of our office's garage, which makes me happy that i took a photo of this while it was still there:

here are some photos for you from monday night's devotchka concert:

gots some fotos for you! we'll start with niles' birthday celemabration, at the horseshoe bbq joint, rockin to the old-timey bluegrassy sound of the wildly inappropriately named band, sexfist. that's my boyfriend wearin the bolo tie, folks. hands off. :)
