Now Reading: The Stars My Destination
I finished Robertson Davies’ The Rebel Angels. If I can get a hold of some of the ideas that are flitting around my head with respect to it, I’ll try to crank out a review sometime this weekend. The short version – I like the thoughts it made me think. I didn’t so much like…

OK Go
So, I’m watching MTV2. OK, I wasn’t really watching it. It was just kind of making noise in the background. Anway this band, Ok Go, comes on, and they have this song, “Get Over It”. This song completely rocks. And, I have to say, I was getting really tired of rock there. I know everybody’s…
