I have now been sick for eight days. This coughing thing is starting to get old, and I'm sure friends have grown tired of me leaving meals to blow my nose. On the upside, I'm starting to sound like Tom Waits.
Another Pulse flick review has sprouted amidst the links -- this time it's Napoleon Dynamite that gets the critical treatment. Liked it, had some reservations about audience identification and a general tone of superiority. Napoleon would probably call me an idiot.
Meanwhile, I'm ready to spring my August music mix upon the unsuspecting world. These days I find that I only decide I'm finished with a mix at the moment when I have an idea for another one. The inspiration for September's mix came early, so here you are.
