Blondfire releases iTunes EP

Click here to view

It's not up on the main page yet (those wacky kids at Apple!) but it'll probably show up sometime today (that's Tuesday for you diurnals).

I must say, I don't usually favor the heavy use of guitar, but the Driscolls manage to pull it off with Erica's beautiful voice.

Can't wait to hear what these songs sound like on their full-length with all the bells, whistles, and synth effects.

The band formerly known as "Astaire"

is now known as "Blondfire".

For those of you with the incapacity to click on a link, I will summarize: my favorite band Astaire is changing their name to Blondfire due to threats from those bad, bad people from the Fred Astaire estate. (Fred Astaire is spinning in his grave right now.)

If you go to their website, http://www.astairemusic.com/site.html, you can see a Flash animation that proclaims, "blondfire. . . The artist formerly known as 'Astaire'". (Shouldn't that be "artists"?) And their iTunes Exclusive Live EP is coming out soon (they say tomorrow)! yy!

I have to say, this new name of theirs is quite tasteful and catchy. Although only Erica and not Bruce is blonde.

On a related note, I purchased a T-shirt from their online store a few days ago for $20.00. Now it's $15.

I feel cheated somehow.

Bloomsbury releases Harry Potter UK back cover

Score!

blah, blah, don't read if you don't want to know a summary of the first couple chapters, etc., ad nauseam (NOT "ad nauseum" you uneducated twits).

Why I chose Blogger over Xanga

i had a weirdass dream last night i was with my dad and 3 other guys and liek we were robbing this house and it was a huge house and we went to the top floor and there were like all these sportscars there and classic sportscars and they were so beautiful so i only watched those and i didnt pay attention to what hapened around me you know and all of a sudden there were guys chasing us and my dad grabbed me and then we ran and we got out of the house but becuase iam so small i got behind and my dad and the other guys were already in the car and they had to wait for me and the backdoor was open but there were already two people there so i had to dive down at their feet but it was a small car you know it was a jeep cherokee so theres not alot of room in the back and my dad grabbed my shirt and he pushed me down behind the frontseats and then we drove off and i heard machineguns and i could hear the bullets hitting the car it was so real and thats where i woke up.

Who, Savannah. Not which.

Wow, the traffic on here just jumped up.

I whunder why?

Other stuf: Google Sitemaps rejected me because my map doesn't reside on blogspot.com. Grim.

Google Sitemaps

I have submitted my Google Sitemap (to Google, natch). Hopefully this will mean INDEXING OF MY BLOG ON GOOGLE!~!~!~! which will mean more visitors which will mean a Google AdSense account which will mean me retiring at 20. Google downloaded the thing 38 minutes ago, and so far there are no errors.

I know little to nothing about XML, so I just used the template Google has so helpfully provided.

Incidentally, searching for "iheartspam" on Google, Yahoo!, MSN Search, Altavista, and Lycos will only lead you to my blog if you use Yahoo! or Altavista. Curse you MSN Search! And to think I used you only a few months ago.

Picture

New "artsy" picture time in honor of my Flickr membership.

The old picture will be back up in a few days prolly (this is for Linda Behr of Drumright, Oklahoma, the only person who cares).

Just. . . stuff

Three hundred visitors. wow. Of course most of those are me, refreshing frantically, hoping beyond hope that someone will leave a comment, but still, it's three hundred.

I still haven't received my America Supports You dogtag. RIPOFF! EMAIL ADDRESS HARVESTER! IDENTITY THIEF!

I did buy "Talk". S'all right.

Five days and twenty-two hours until Harry Potter is released.

I just signed up for it to manage my photos. Very cool.

Too bad it has a 20 MB/month limit :=(

London

I heard the news this morning.

Anyone out there in Britain: I'm praying for you and the victims of this horrific tragedy. Terrorists suck.

The scary thing is, if our European trip hadn't been postponed, we probably would've been in London today.

Makes you think.

Okay so I'm changing the question again because it. . . bit.

New question:

Q: You're trapped in a well with a goat and a slinky. Describe how you will escape.

A: Wasn't there an Aesop's Fable about this once?

Ha ha!

Random question time

Previously:

Q: You've been entered in a shadow puppet contest. What's your best pose?

A: OMG! Did you know that shadow puppets are called "wayang" in Indonesia?

Wait, what?

Now:

Q: You forgot your mom's birthday! What can you make out of super glue and olive pits?

A: Pretty much nothing.

I have to say, the questions I encountered this time, as compared to last time, sort of. . . bit.

Time to look back on my old posts

Apparently when I first started my blog I was the only one who listed Diana Anaid in their Favorite Music. Now there are eight of us. HA.

I sure tended to ramble on, didn't I?

I never did put up that sorryeverybody picture :( And what was up with all the Paris Hilton T-Mobile stuff anyways?

The links in my noontide post no longer work (most of them anyways).

I should start taking pictures again.

I still feel a twinge of sorrow whenever I read the words "Debbie and Bianca".
