Random Ramblings

I just took Mary's parents back to the airport. They had a nice visit and were the first guest to enjoy the new hide-a-bed in the den. My Mom was here for Xmas as well and got to sleep on the futon downstairs.

We had six people in the house for 3 nights and everything worked out well.

I returned my cable modem to brighthouse after taking Pete and Terry to the airport.
We got Uverse installed here a week ago and it's working well. We have faster Internet, 150 channels in the basement as opposed to 8 and more channels upstairs as well.

I was on Netflix Instant Viewing today and watched a bit of "Friday Night Lights". It's a pretty good show. I also like the soundtrack from the group called "Explosions in the Sky". Good stuff.

Indie rock.

Artist: Chris Walla
Song: Sing Again
Album: Field Manual


1) I am a big Death Cab for Cutie fan

2) Chris Walla (DCFC producer and band member) is coming out with a solo album.

An mp3 has been released off of the upcoming record.

I couldn't find the lyrics to the song so I figured them out myself

I've transcribed the lyrics:

It was not tricky to enjoy
A cigarette in hand was a key to understanding
To seek out and to destroy
A mindless oversight
A string of faithless nights

We sing again sing together with quiet eyes
I lower my chin to my chest
I thought that would be best

Another pounding of the bricks
Bundles of cells dividing
South Dakota driving

Where the darkest dirty tricks
If we still cared at all
We'd Send a battle cross

Sing again, sing together with fiery eyes
A rancor alive in our chests
No this is not a test

Let's sing again, sing together without disguise
Let's raise up a song in unrest
I think that would be best.

It's important
You will hear the noises
You will feel the breaking
It's all yours for the taking.

A mind packed full of mindless joy
Is not easy to enjoy, ohhh.

Yes, I have listened to this song about 30 times today.......
