primary colors, secondary opinions

this morning as i was getting ready in the bathroom i noticed all the various colors and every color i could think of was in the bathroom, whether is be a towel, a vile of toothpaste, shaving gel or some other container our master bathroom has all the colors of the rainbow. i was quite floored by this, and then i walked out of the steamy room and into reality - funny that i'm wearing white/grey/black today, how boring.

the weather seems to have broken back and the sun and heat might give us an extended look this week and into the weekend, it'll be nice to get out at night. last night we climbed the ridge (Ladine, Sofia, Mojo and myself) and looked at the trains, I've wanted to do this since we moved to Stonebridge and now we have. it was kind of cool to see the tracks and be able to trace them a long way down. and really we think the vibrations for us are annoying - there is house within 50 feet of them and right beside. i hope they don't collect fine china decorative plates.

i read a review of the hold steady's new record 'heaven is whenever' (on punknews.org, bleh) and i think i agree with some of the reviewers points. he said the album is really lacking franz nicolay's presence and i agree. i guess if the band made a conscious effort to have slower rock jams that is one thing, but some songs feel like they're missing the patented hold steady cheese that makes the sandwich so good. i don't feel so bad about not loving it right away. i'm still trying, i guess the other condiments will have to make this particular sandwich tastier for me. or not.
