Just some thoughts...

Learning about yourself is an interesting experience. I am constantly finding out things about myself and I continue to become more and more complex as I dive deeper into self discovery. I am having fun with it, though. In a lot of ways I have found a new sense of self confidence because I really like some of the new things I'm discovering about me.

I saw Mr. Brooks the other day with a friend of mine...it was quite a humorous situation. We were basically on top of each other by the time the movie was over. It was well written/directed, but it was just really intense...and there was lots of killing...which I don't really like. I'm looking forward to seeing Ocean's 13, Evan Almighty, Silver Surfer, and Ratatouille.

I've been listening to some really good music lately, too. I recently bought Feist's The Reminder, which is a really good album. It's different from her first one in several ways...it's not as jazzy, the tracks are a bit more "produced," and it's all original material. Her first album, Let it Die, only has a couple of originals and the rest are covers. In case you're wondering Feist is Leslie Feist, one of the members of Broken Social Scene...and this is her solo stuff. Think Norah Jones with more of an indie twist...kinda. I've also been listening to Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, which is really good....it's not really his typical Emo stuff. It's really folksy and EmmyLou Harris sings backup on several of the tracks. Let's see, what else...I bought KT Tunstall's album Eye to the Telescope and it's been a pleasant surprise. I'm usually hesitant about buying CDs that have a lot of playtime on the radio, because usually the radio plays the only good songs on the album and the rest of it is horrible. Her whole album is really good, though. It's really diverse in its sound...the songs have good variety to them.

I'm actually going to see Feist with Grizzly Bear this Friday at Variety Playhouse, which I'm excited about....it should be a really good show. I'm sure Feist will be awesome, and I've read nothing but good things about Grizzly Bear.

Just felt like I was due for an update...another one will soon come, hopefully.
