06:56 listening to Luc Van Acker in the shower I can see that to get a record contract all you had to do was be associated with a famous band. #
07:19 I see rain but is it icy rain? #
07:32 yep. it's icy. commute will be not fun. #
07:36 roads aren't bad in Clifton. #

15:26 I think i'll celebrate my afternoon off by ripping cds. then again, it may be faster just to nab them from torrents... #
