This post will be against my standards for a good blog, but I haven't posted in too long, and something is better than nothing.

Noah has gone home, finally bringing to a close a two-day trip to Pennsylvania that extended to a five-day visiting fest (Noah and I spent nearly all Tuesday with Cassie. It was cool. When I asked her to give me something to buy in Rec & Tape, she made me buy Sleater Kinney, and, hey, they really are good. Who knew). I haven't left the house except to smoke today, and am suffering the effects of withdrawal from society. I am leaving Maryland in two and a half days, and experiencing an anxiety attack. As I sit in my living room, once again attempting to catch up on newspapers (I had to start with Sunday's) and listening to music, I feel a great sense of unlocalized dread. I was tired at 1 a.m., and felt afraid.

Jeff requested that I listen to the soundtrack for 28 Days Later, and give him my opinion. He has bought a lot of soundtracks lately; really this has been a trend with him for several years. Like most soundtracks, it didn't extend much past atmospheric music, mainly sounding like intros and outros with no songs to lead into and out of. It does, however, include a cool Grandaddy song. Why Jeff had me listen to it, I'll never know.

Oh, and "Information Travels Faster" is, indeed, a good song. I wouldn't call it inspired, but I can no longer say that the entirety of The Photo Album is disappointing.

This Summer, April truly is the cruelest month.
"Oh my God! He's coming over the Starnbergersee with a shower of rain!"

A movie that will show you fear in a handful of dust.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! The Hanged Man! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Arnold Schwarzenegger is:
