Wait, baby, stop yelling. I haven’t been seeing another blog, I swear! No, I’m not using my LiveJournal or MySpace. I haven’t even posted that much on MoreCooler! You know you’re the only one for me. Hey hey, put down that frying pan. Let’s talk about this. I promise I’ll come see you more. Once a week? Okay, I can do that. No, really, I can. Give me a chance. Okay, let me explain where I’ve been for the last couple of months.

Sean was in town today, so I spent the day with he, Chris, and Jua (plus a smattering of Jeff, Kevin, and Andrea throughout) doing various wandering throughout the mall, playing video games, seeing a movie (Thank You For Smoking, which I found to be quite hilarious), and eating. While at the mall, we ended up at Suncoast, which was having a going out of business sale where the sign said “Everything Must Go!”, and all the items were at least 50% off the marked price. Based on normal prices, this meant things were about the same price at Best Buy. (For example, the John Mayer Trio album was marked as being $20. Do people really pay $20 for a CD? No wonder they’re going out of business!) I picked up two concert DVDs (Big Head Todd & the Monsters - Live at the Fillmore and Elvis Costello and the Imposters - Club Date - Live in Memphis) for twelve and ten bucks, respectively. To put in perspective how good this “sale” is, I saved about $3 (total!) off what I would have paid at Amazon. But that’s not what I wanted to talk about. When they said everything, they meant everything. They were selling the vacuum, file cabinets, the security gates, the DVD racks, the minifridge from the back office. I’ve never seen “everything” taken so literally.

In an unrelated note, I have become a huge Butch Walker fan in the past month or so. Right now, I have a YME playlist of Butch Walker and Marvelous 3 songs on endless repeat. I know I’m a bit late jumping on the bandwagon, but better late than never, right? I find some of his lyrics to be just amazingly perfect. My favorite of the moment is “Take Tomorrow (One Day At A Time)” which is very much in line with my outlook of late.

So give me all your fear, throw it all away.
Think about the good things, no matter what they say.
We’ll take tomorrow baby, yeah,
One day at a time.

His cover of “Since U Been Gone” is also quite fabulous.
