Last night I got a whole bunch of free musics from daytrotter.com. It was tight, and they are good musics. I got girzzly bear, rafter, peter and the wolf, and alela diane so far. I have been wanting to listen to peter and the wolf forever, but someone from whom I get all my music does not have any peter and the wolf. yeah, get on it, thanks. So I had to go to great lengths to get these free downloads; there were at least ten clicks involved, and frankly, my finger is tired. However, I really like these four songs! I am excited to hear their actual albums someday. And as for the others, they are good, but I already knew that.

I know that I spelled grizzly wrong but I decided it's funner this way. Like giirrrrlzzy bear. I dunno. Fun.

Ok, so who has read a heartbreaking work of staggering genius? It isn't really like I expected it to be at all, and once I am done I would like to talk about it with someone. I mean what exactly is he doing here? He kind of doesn't even allow you to have an opinion on it. He's just written it and he makes it pretty clear that he's writtwen it for himself, some kind of purging/coming to terms thing. And yet it's so widely read, nominated for the pullitzer prize, etc. Did he just get insanely lucky with this? And this whole thing he does where he's metacognitive to the point of complete chaos-- is this where writing is going? Is that too easy? Is easy bad? Is complete chaos of thought somehow more honest than trying to figure out some kind of answer?

Few writers make me think as much as Dave Eggers does. And I find that a little bit ironic, which makes me feel like a jerk because it means I don't take him seriously for some reason. Why don't I take him seriously? If I told you my guess, would that make me even more of a jerk? I think it would. For once I will hold back.

Gotta get dressed, the relatives are here!
