Comments on comments



Today's entry will feature some comments about comments people have left. First though, the picture features my first official piece of art that I purchased this summer. I still really love it and I'm hoping the artist will be back this year so I can get another piece.

To Rossi:

I will come to a Duke game as soon as I could ever get tickets. Perhaps Greg Paulus will give me a ring and I can use his sometime! And, as much as I would love for you to come back here to Peoria, I think my becoming store manager has the same odds as my getting tix to a Duke/Carolina game.

To Thom:

While I did realize you were razzing me, I believe I was in a hormonally unbalanced state of mind hence my statement in defence of my music choices. I do know you run close to the music snob state, doesn't mean you don't have good taste though. Send me some suggestions. Just not Arcade Fire. They just don't do it for me.

To Matt:

I salute your receiving efforts. Wanna come back to Peoria for a few days? I think we have something like 250 boxes piled up right now. I am not kidding. I want to hunt down our buyers and deposit about 40 boxes of kids bargain on their doorsteps.

To Jackie:

Scroll back several entries and you can see the names of the folks in Once. Although, once you do, they still won't be familiar since they were musicians and not actors.

To Laura and Teresa and everyone else:

I sort of forgot what recent comments you may have left so I'll just say thanks for reading--oh, and Laura, thanks for going to There Might Be Blood with me. Always great to hang out with you.

On a final side note, if you get the chance and you like foreign films, go rent Black Book. It tells the story of a woman who worked with The Resistance in Holland during the end of WW2. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

Awww man. Music Snob? I suck beans.

Check out the band(s):
Beach House
Miracle Fortress.

For whatever reason, this is all that's coming to me right now. In a recent moment of pure music snobbery I have been listening almost solely to jazz. As I think of other stuff, I will let you know. And just for the record, it WAS pure razz. You have great tastes in all things (I really like that piece of artwork, by the way; am kinda jealous) which is why I constantly check to see if you've updated your blog--and if you are going to turn me on to anything cool I would otherwise never hear about.

We should catch up one of these days. I need to come to Peoria, but I am completely broke, Living on a TA's paycheck.
