Sitting on the train this morning I decided I wanted to listen to some "newer" music, so I put on some Lo Fidelity All Stars. I was grooving to How to Operate with a Blown Mind when I realized this stuff isn't all that new... It was seven years ago that I bought the CD. And that was a little depressing.

I still dig the music -- I remember listening to it while trolling the streets of Amsterdam with my maniacal co-workers back in 1999. In fact, when I listen to the CD I always think of that wacky, wacky trip.

Funny how music gets associated with distinct memories.

Gamecube Update: Last week we got two more controllers, enabling us to play Smash Brothers as a family! It was a riot, figuratively as well as literally. Other times, its was me against Da Chimpz (they'd team up against me) or the three of us against the computer (with the computer as the fourth character, and Cookie playing with that character's difficulty setting). It was great fun.
