My good friend, Connor, got back from his LDS mission a few weeks ago, and in a surreal rapid-fire sequence of events, we're now dating. It's a good time, haha. I am consistently shocked at how functional he is (relationship-wise); he has spent the last two years of his life having nothing whatsoever to do with the female persuasion, but I swear, this kid doesn't miss a beat. I'm trying to keep up.

I'm going down to St. George (southern Utah) with his family this week, which will be lots of fun. I'm pretty excited.

So life is good. I'm rollin' with it.

So I'm going to see the midnight showing of Terminator Salvation tomorrow, and ALSDHALKSDH! I just watched the trailer and now realize that I will probably die. This is going to be intense!

Hooyah.

About six months ago, I was asked if I could compile a list of my favorite albums/artists/songs. I quickly agreed and then soon realized just what I was getting myself into. I have yet to tackle the challenge of a list of songs, but for now, I present to you a list of 32 albums--in a loosely descending order. In the event that you should like to stream any of these online, I recommend Deezer, Last.fm and imeem.

I just discovered this amazing new album, Dark Night Of The Soul, which may or may not be released, due to some legal dispute with EMI, but is available for an exclusive first listen on NPR. It's a collaborative project between Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse, David Lynch (the director) and an incredible entourage of other artists:

- The Flaming Lips
- Jason Lytle
- Gruff Rhys of The Super Furry Animals
- Julian Casablancas of The Strokes
- Frank Black of The Pixies
- Iggy Pop
- James Mercer of The Shins
- Nina Persson of The Cardigans
- Suzanne Vega
- Vic Chesnutt

In the first place, I've been seriously jonesing for something new from The Shins, so I'm loving Mercer's track, "Insane Lullaby". And while I wasn't previously familiar with Suzanne Vega, "The Man Who Played God" is beautiful.

Really, the entire album is fantastic.

It would be really outrageous if this isn't released. EMI is run by fools.

• 09:32 Google, how could you fail me? At least I can count on the Twitter collective to let me know I'm not the only one. #gmail #fail #
• 09:37 @ccoppenbarger I'd say no, because #Gmail is having issues here (in Utah) as well. #
• 09:49 So true. :( RT @yourpalborno Gmail? Are you there? I really need to get some work done, but I can't do it without you. #googlefail #

• 10:35 @cpage closely guarded secret: commencement ceremonies are at least as dull as graduation is exciting #

• 06:40 Oh, piffle. #

I have been LOL'ing to myself for far too long. I can contain myself no longer, and so I give you:

1. How to Good-bye Depression: If You Constrict Anus 100 Times Everyday. Malarkey? or Effective Way?

2. Ronald Chevalier

3. A British choir sings Blink 182's "What's My Age Again?"

Enjoy.

• 11:29 Just slept for 11.5 hours. Take that, sleep debt. #
• 14:18 @backseatbingo Yeah, 116 pounders! We could have a club. #

• 06:52 Finished that murderous case brief... but I think I've changed my mind. Oh well. #

(It's LoudTwitter, baby.)

• 03:46 P.S. 223,386 days = 612 years. So if a single person accounted for all #Boyle views, they'd have been watching since the 14th century. #
• 03:50 @cpage 1 congrats on the apartment! and 2 RT @johncmayer Being an adult means grilling ... at 2:30 in the morning and running it past nobody #
• 16:52 I'm half-way through my case brief and I still haven't decided who wins! I wonder if this is how the real court system works... #

• 23:28 45,953,895 * 7 / 60 = 5,361,287.75 collective hours (or 223,386.99 days) spent watching Susan #Boyle #

So maybe I'll get cancer from my years of sleep deprivation, but on the up-side, I hear night-owls are more alert.

Sounds like a good deal to me!
