A slow burn

For reasons I can't even remember now, I didn't like the new Calexico record when I first heard it.

Now I love it.

Speaking of slow burns, this weekend - because I have nothing better to do on a 100-degree-plus day - I'll be selling my crap at a friend's garage sale. The house is sort of behind the Tower Theatre parking lot...easy to find....cheap stuff (books, clothes, knick-knacks, dishes, some furniture). Update: Due to myriad reasons the garage sale's been postponed until Aug. 5. I am not at all sad about this because now I get to sleep in tomorrow.

Also, tonight: Pets CD release party at Old I. $5.

Plenty of other things going on this weekend (French Film Fest, in particular) so get out there and don't be a social recluse (unlike me)....

Also: Last night Cory & I walked over to St. Robert's to shoot hoops and it was a million degrees outside (really) but I love the sound of a basketball being smacked around on a nearly-empty playground court. I'm kind of sore today (upper right arm) but in a good way.

Also: Happy birthday Scott.
