• - I wonder if my body is starting to really fail me at times. In the past week, these things happened... I literally forgot a co-worker's name, no more than a minute of talking to her, and it's a person I've known for several years now. While I was eating dinner one night, my wife was asking me a question four times in a row, and I did not hear a single word from her, nor did I even know she was asking me a question in the first place. One day I was trying to explain something to someone, and the words that were coming out of my mouth ended up becoming a random jumble of words. I feel like my body or my brain is like a computer that needs a defrag or a reboot or something.

  - Just recently I found some time to start watching some of the stuff that I've been procrastinating to watch on my DVR. A week ago, I only had 3% of recording space left, but now I have 43%. It was mostly the specials that was holding up space, like Mythbusters for example. However, it's the many MMA events that I record that really ate up space, like Dream, Sengoku, Inside MMA, basically HDNET Fights stuff in general. There was also the tv show "The Office," which although I claim to be a big fan of, I somehow had TEN episodes that's been unwatched on my DVR. Once I started going through the first episodes of those, I had to ask myself "why again did I wait so long to watch these? Because this show is great."

  - If you've been following my facebook page recently (or this blog for that matter), you know that I've been anticipating the official release of Meg & Dia's newest album "Here, Here and Here." Well the post office delivered my pre-order of the album already, which along with the CD itself comes with the "making of" DVD and an extra booklet that the whole band signed (only for the first 1000 orders). I've heard the album several times already, and while I can currently say that I really really enjoy it, I'll go into more detail in a very near-future blog post.
  Along with this album's release, Dia; primary singer of the band, posted something on their myspace site a few days ago, talking about the making of "Here, Here and Here." That blog post of hers is probably one of the best postings I've ever read by anybody, as it's just full of emotion behind it, with it's stream of consciousness, and almost poetic nature to her writing. Wow, I was honestly moved by what I read, and I'd like to share her thoughts by posting this link (below) to her blog post. If anything else, it'll further bring more insight to the meanings behind the album.
