brought to you by the letter D

i've been kicking around the idea of jumping on the DVR bandwagon for a few months now. i know all the cool kids have TiVo, but a DVR was a much cheaper route for me. there really was no reason not to get it. the only thing really stopping me is that i procrastinate even the dumbest of things. then i saw the commercial for the degrassi marathon that's running all weekend. seasons 1-4! getting us ready for the new season that starts in july. i was sold. i called, ordered it, and was out the door to pick up my box. and with showtime free i can get all caught up on QAF as well. just like my hero kia. hotness.

on my big journey out i heard the new damien rice single, unplayed piano. i love it. just the sound of his voice sends me floating in the clouds. i hear him and i start picturing mini movies in my mind, or pretending that i'm drifting off to sleep while relaxing in a hammock in a big back yard in the middle of summer. then i remembered i was driving so i figured that closing my eyes wasn't such a good idea. but the song is great. word is it's not on the upcoming new cd of his that he's said will be "darker", but it's what's playing now. he was pretty heavy when ms. k and i saw him last year, a lot heavier than what the cd sounds like. needless to say ms. k was a little troubled by the loudness.
