Weird music video
So, I like Death Cab For Cutie. I'm not emo, dammit, stop accusing me.
I also don't watch music videos much, not having TV and all. So I just happened across http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Az6bVkGQJc, which is the video for Title and Registration, a song that amusingly mixes a gripe about how "glove compartments" aren't for gloves, with the story of losing a girl. Yeah, I know, pretty typically emo crap. Anyway, the video exceeded all expectations of oddness. I can only assume the director was looking to outweird Soundgarden's Blackhole Sun video.

Clumsy
I was just sitting around the office being a slacker, when "Clumsy" by Our Lady Peace cued up. It's often amazing how intrinsically music gets tied to my memories, often due to how often I'll leave songs on repeat. In Spring of 1998, I was working as a tech at a lab in the Blocker building of Texas A&M. We had an old Mac that was the only computer in the lab with and audio card. It wasn't much, but it was (barely) enough to play an mp3. It was a pain to load a mp3 on the system, so the only one that got loaded was OLP's "Clumsy". Listening to it now reminds me of melancholy and bittersweet times working in that lab.
Last night I jogged 54:30 for 18 laps (4 miles). Annoyingly, endorphines only kicked in after the 10th lap. Tonight, in a bit, I'm going to go do some interval running. It is nice, though, to get my distance up to what I used to run regularly.
