This is the very first time that I have REALLY listened to 'A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997' and I really, really like it.

Am I surprised?
I don't know.
I love everything he's done so, yeah. Plus it's his early years, so the experience of listening to the record is like seeing how to make magic.
To hear his beginnings is JUST like that. Being a sort of witness to the making of magic.

Anyway, I always loose links and I wanted to have this stuff around for later reference.
I'm hoping some of the hats on this site can fit me! ::crosses fingers::
Dream the pipe dream.

So, I have to put these here for laters:

http://www.blablakids.com/s.nl/sc.13/category.1134/.f - the birds and thhe fruits and veggies are the best of the lot

http://www.blablakids.com/s.nl/it.A/id.770/.f?sc=13&category=2942 - there is a large one for 10 bucks more, but this guy is kinda perfect

Alright, well I am starving, haven't eaten all day.

I've finished listening to the album and am now almost all the way through 'Digital Ash In a Digital Urn' and I still love it more each time I listen to it all the way through. I am currently on "Theme to Pinata" so it's in the home stretch. Plus, to me, "Easy/Lucky/Free" is like an anthem.

I also need to shower and make it quick (yeah, right).

Tonight is the closing ceremony and I cannot miss saying goodbye to what has been an amazing 2.5 weeks+.
Plus, I can't miss an opportunity to be in awe of Nastia Liukin. Kerry Walsh and Misty May Treanor are also noteworthy and I watched every game they kicked so much ass in during the Beijing games.

Gotta run.

Remember this:
"There is nothing, as lucky, as easy, or free . . ."
