Suddenly this cinnamon oatmeal I micro-waved doesn't sound quite so good... considering it's 86 degrees and my forehead is slowly perspiring.

Still no sign of my package [see "multitasking" post] in the mail yet. I don't work until 6 tonight, so hopefully it will show up around 3... or else [punches fist] I'll just wait some more.

I met with Pro Verbs yesterday, to discuss making a music video for their new song, "revolution (do you know)'... actually the song is just called, revolution, but Billy made a good point yesterday when he mentioned that naming a song, revolution, is like naming a song, hey jude. But the, "do you know" is from the chorus, hopefully it's somewhat fitting. I think it's too late to actually change it, some indie radio stations already have copies and are about to give it air time. Anyways, I met with a friend of the band who is also directing the project, so it will be a collaboration. The concept was the main focus yesterday and all the ideas they [Pro Verbs] we're suggesting sounded great visually, and [for the most part] added meaning to the song. Most importantly, the song is actually really good -- I was very pleasantly surprised yesterday when they played it for me for the first time. I would put a clip on here, but I'm not sure they would be happy about that.

I just got back from dropping Amanda off at work, and on the way home I was listening to NPR; a woman reporting from Iraq was talking about the recent release of a Filipino hostage due to his nation pulling out it's troops a month early. But what caught my attention is when she [the reporter in Iraq] mentioned the weather there, above I was complaining about the 86 degree temperatures as I sit here in from of my Mac, with two fans blowing on me... but currently the temperature in Iraq is 130 degrees... and the every day Iraqi only has access to electricity for 1/3 of the day.

I've recently been on a Spike Jonze kick, I downloaded every music video I could get my hands on last night, including an old skater short called, Blind Video Days [that has a Martin Scorsese credit... I can't figure out why]. But anyways, I mostly brought this up because a very young Jason Lee makes a few appearances in the video, and having just seen him face to face at Ikea the other week, it was strange to see him act so high-school-skater-normal.
