One of my friends was just talking about a band that happens to be a favorite of mine. That's only unusual in that I haven't heard too many people talk about them.

Vampire Weekend.

A Note On "Dollhouse"...

Posted 02-13-2009 at 08:07 PM by Mercedes Benzene (A Peregrination of Life in Notes)
Did anyone else watch the premier of "Dollhouse" on FOX this evening?
It's Joss Whedon's new creation. JW, as many of you know, is my favorite writer/director/producer. He's the genius behind "Buffy," "Angel," "Dr. Horrible," "Firefly," etc.

This premier was... intriguing to say the least. It will be interesting to see how this series progresses.

Cheers for now.

Good day everyone. If you haven't already heard, Amazon is set to officially release to the public its Kindle 2 tomorrow, Monday February 9th.

I never did buy the current version, as I was hoping for an upgrade. As of this moment there are "leaked" pictures of the new Kindle, as well as speculative pricing.
On those two fronts respectively:
  • I kinda like the new design. It's definitely an improvement over 1.0, but I was really hoping for a touch screen.
  • Word

Rumor has it that within the next few weeks, I'll be receiving a few more Epi cuttings/plants.
