April 2008

Traveling changes your perspective. It doesn’t matter so much where you go to get that change because it comes from the change in a daily routine. Some destinations are much more inspiring than others. I’ve spent some time here in NYC this week and it has been helpful in changing my perspective. A refresh, if you will. I was stuck in a MN winter rut. I feel that when I go home I can do that with a new approach and a renewed energy.

My friends were in a band they called The Skullcranes. I just found out on their blog that they are done being a band. I’m not even sure how I feel but I know I’m pretty freakin sad. RIP Skullcranes.

Even though I’d trip and hurt myself in this house, I LOVE it.

Thanks to Creative Good for calling my attention to it.

It’s Poutine.

If you make it to Montreal, you definitely need to try it.

French fries, cheese and wait for it…..Gravy.

I was reading a myspace blog post today. I only read myspace blog post because my friends insist on blogging there from time to time. In this case it was the Skullcranes and they need to do it, so I don’t blame them. Anyway……

I went to the blog post:

They appropriately linked to their own web page and pointed their myspace fans to the site so they could download some free music from the Skullcranes.

I clicked the link and myspace tried to WARN me, that might be bad.

Thankfully, myspace is trying to protect me from the free music. UGH. I really hate it when a web site decides that it IS the Internet. It’s not the Internet and the more they try to keep people from leaving the more interested people will become in finding a way out.
