I would tell you that I'm even more torqued up because my son is home after his one-year tour of duty in Baghdad. I feel a whole lot better when I go to sleep at night and when I wake up in the morning, and the rest of the day is pretty fuckin' good too!

As for music, I already mentioned the first three on Sunday, but....

Arizona Amp and Alernator
Clear Lake - Amber
Cat Power - The Greatest
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Over the Rhine - Ohio

Oh yeah, I also got my hands on two of my favorite foreign film DVDs: Jean De Florette and Manon of Spring. Both are the original MGM releases and they weren't cheap, but I had to have 'em. It took me months of bidding on e-bay and bartering on Amazon to finally land them. Both are used by in perfect condition...well, close to perfect anyway. We watched the first on Saturday and will see the other this weekend. They are actually Parts 1 and 2 of the same story if you're familiar with them. Great stuff!
