Lyn had me listen to a song called Coin-Operated Boy by The Dresden Dolls (edit: which I just discovered they have a live version of on their site for download) a month or two ago and I thought it was great, though was too lazy to do much about finding the CD and it wasn’t on iTMS either. Thursday, I decided to try a search again and there they were on iTMS! Everyone should check them out, I give it two thumbs up. Their web site is pretty slick too.

It also is showing how much I don’t pay attention to the local Boston music scene. They’re from Boston and I’m not sure I’d ever heard of them before Lyn pointed me at them. Of course I tend to be a bit of a space cadet. ^_^.

And I remembered to say it this month. Rock.

Zap2it has a bunch of information about upcoming shows and pilots on the various networks. There’s some really strange sounding stuff here. How about Father of the Pride, an animated show about Siegfried & Roy’s Vegas act, told through the eyes of the animals. Or a US version of The Office. Didn’t NBC learn its lesson with Coupling? Do we need a remake of Dark Shadows from the WB? Or Mr. Ed from Fox? There’s a Lost in Space there too. Let’s hope some of these never get beyond the pilot stage.

Thanks to Off on a Tangent for the link to this.

It’s 4:34 AM and I’ve got the munchies. I wasn’t sure how late I was going to end up being awake tonight so I took my Provigil later than usual. As a result I’m just not tired. No twitchyness, none of that typical caffeine jitters. Pretty cool. Since I take it during the day I don’t usually notice the effect that much, it just helps me not sleep the whole day away. The only problem now is I want food. Maybe some early morning gyoza would be good.

I’ve been playing about with some web stats packages lately just to see what kinda traffic I’m getting. It looks like I have around 42 visitors grabbing my RSS feed. I say visitors because that includes places like Technorati and Bloglines. But it IS nice to know I’m being read. On the other hand, my anime blog has around 33 readers. Pretty good also!
