i spent last night doing something i didn't think i'd ever do again: with the invaluable help of my very favourite jeremy, i am now linuxy again! four years away and holy crap has linux gotten much prettier and easier! wow. this ain't your daddy's slackware install anymore, boys and girls. and, really, other than some bootloader issues because i was installing it in an awkward place, it was pretty simple. it auto-detected pretty much everything. even if jer hadn't been there to help me out, i could have ran the auto-updater on my own to get things all current. i think. ;)
otherly, i'm completely in love with the garden state soundtrack and have had it on constant repeat since i got home sunday afternoon. if i wasn't worried about my officemate killing me for playing it again i'd have brought it back to work with me to play all day long. love it. absolutely LOVE it (even the zero 7 song, but don't tell sean that). i think it's the best $15 i've spent in a very long time.
If you haven't already, just buy both The Shins cds and be done with it.
you also need the whole frou frou album if you don't have it already. let me know and i will send it to you. your life will never be the same.
pictures have been lovely lately, btw. you rock lady.
okay, the shins and frou frou. check!
