Resident Advisor: Top 20 albums of 2009 →
A few days ago, after reading good things along the year-end lists on the always fascinating atease board, I listened to the DJ Sprinkles album as well as Ben Klock’s and… I’m definitely not a House or a Minimal guy. Maybe these genres require a bigger time investment from me. I’m gonna try harder on these two.
Fever Ray could be my favorite album this year. Great Lenghts...

Costco, Chocolate, and The Road
ME: Can we get chocolate chips for the cookies I'm going to bake?
DAD: We've got chocolate chips in the cupboard.
ME: Those are old.
DAD: They found chocolate in King Tut's tomb. Still good too.
ME: They found honey...I'm not sure about the chocolate. Besides, the archeologists would not have eaten it.
DAD: I bet the guy in "The Road" would eat our chocolate chips.
ME: YOU'RE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT THE GUY IN "THE ROAD"!
---------
Dad's reading Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" and is constantly talking about it... (via teaforonesvp)

The Washington Post has run another Sarah Palin op-ed. And this time it’s worse than ever — it’s about the myth of global warming and how she is the true defender of science because she kills polar bears.
