a couple of software recommendations

- the new winamp is pretty breathtaking. it features an expanded interface and the ability to play video file formats on top of audio. it can do divx! woohoo!
- kazaa lite is the spyware-free version of the popular file sharing software. yay!

bad blogger! bad! bad!

sorry kids, that last update took about three days to finally get up. I'm been having issues with blogger :(.

I'm starting to get interested in another kind of blogging program called "Movable Type." A couple of my friends have gotten on it and have said positive things about it! it also looks quite spiffy. I think I may make a jump...

music music music! concert update!!

ok, ok, ok. my blog has gotten waaay way way too political. so here's a personal update.

currently spinning: weezer - maladroit
song of the month: weezer - keep fishin'
GO SEE THE MUSIC VIDEO!! You can check it out at weezer.com.

went to see them at verizon wireless in irvine a couple weeks ago. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!! weezer, geek band of the decade, does pyro at their live shows. completely rocked the house. only complaint was that the audience was full of weezer newbies who didn't know songs off pinkerton... or even the blue album!! -sob!- Rivers led the band in a gorgeous version of "Only in Dreams" and followed it up with "Surf Wax America"... and people didn't even get it. :(

jer, julie, and I also got to catch Area2 at Verizon Wireless. gosh, I hate that place, but don't get me started! (stupid clear channel!) at any rate, we got there late because traffic on the 405 that day was completely awful... it took us more than an hour to actually get to Irvine, and we're only maybe 40 minutes from it from RB. -throws arms up in the air- but what we saw once we were there was pretty bad-ass. Tiesto ROCKED, Bowie was amazing... completely charming, and Moby was, though not as electric as he was at AreaOne, still immensely fun to watch.

upcoming: coldplay in vegas. VEGAS BABY, VEGAS!

you republicans put bill clinton through so much hell for such petty crap, while your men are have committed far graver crimes. democrats, I hope you take this and run with it.
