When I got home from work on Friday I had every intention of following up this entry with some long, involved LJ examination. Because, I mean, holy shit, 6 years is a long time to be whining into the intertubes. Obviously, however, I did not. I did end up buying a bunch of albums on iTunes and then fell asleep.
Said albums include:
1. Deerhunter, "Cryptograms"
2. Peter Bjorn and John, "Writer's Block"
3. Of Montreal, "Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?"
4. Dr. Dre, "The Chronic"
The Deerhunter album is really good - and it'd be the greatest album of all time if I were 22 and high and in my old apartment on Houston Street and still fully into the idea that I was going to rock the free world; PBJ is so-so, although "Up Against The Wall" is now my favorite song of 2007 thus far; Of Montreal is dense and I must admit that I haven't gotten the whole way through yet. And I needed to finally own "The Chronic". Every month or so I get these crazy pangs to acquire all the albums I never bought back in the early 90s; next month I'll choose between "Ready to Die" and "Nevermind".
The weekend was OK; mostly I'm just exhausted because Lily is now convinced that 5:00am is a perfectly good time to wake us up. I don't understand how that happened - before we changed the clocks, she was waking us up at 6:00am, and then once we made the shift she went one hour earlier, so that she's actually waking us up at 4:00am. If she wasn't so goddamned cute and fuzzy and loveable, I'd be really angry; as it is, I'm just very tired and cranky.
... I'd still like to do an LJ retrospective, but I'm nowhere near ready, and I'd like to avoid using some pre-made shitty meme to do it. Maybe after this cup of coffee, and if the workday isn't totally insane, I'll get around to it.

On so many levels. How long have we been LJ buddies for? Did we meet through
That is the same feeling I have been having, and it led me to download a bunch of early Dinosaur Jr. How the hell come I never bought them back in the day I will never understand.
