I'm back!

I am a loser. I have succeeded in dropping the virtual ball that is my contributions to the blog. I could spout off tons of excuses (SATs, school work, soccer) but the fact is that I dropped the ball. I solemnly swear to resume regular posting!

Ok, apologies aside, we've got a busy month. To let you all know what you can expect from me, here is a little schedule.

• A much belated review of Big Sur and the corresponding albumn, One Fast Move or I'm Gone (from Jay Farrar and my favorite, Ben Gibbard)
• Another belated review of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (also starring my favorite)
• A review of the Matt Hires concert (November 13) [Chloe should attend this as well...*Cough cough*]
• A review of the Built to Spill concert (November 21)
• Perhaps a list of fun sites to visit
• An anecdote or two about life, maybe
• And...if you're lucky and I have the means...a song from me?

So, now that I'm back on the blogging train, I promise to commit. Let me know what you think we should cover in the comments section.

Congratulations

I promise I will never do this again, but I feel that this is a special case. I will write about a celebrity couple. But, wait! Don't click away! It's not an average, off-again, on-again, we're-only-together-for-publicity couple; It's a so-cool-and-adorable-your-heart-may-melt couple. I am, of course, speaking of Ben Gibbard and Zooey Deschanel. Ben's music has had a big influence on my life and Zooey's films and music have also influenced me. I couldn't be happier that they (drumroll!) were married on Saturday, September 19th. Congratulations, Ben and Zooey. Best of luck!
