Another writing job!

Hah, I guess when it rains it pours or something like that. I just got offered another writing job, this time for Static Multimedia. Same deal, review albums, get free CD's, no real paycheck but it's experience I hope will translate into a real, paying job when I'm finished with school. I think I'm going to be busy, busy! My editor is sending me 4 cd's to review, I wonder what they'll be...

Father's Day is posing a bit of a problem...I have NO idea what to get my dad. His birthday was just in May, so now I'm getting hit again and haven't got any good ideas. Anyone? Anyone? (Bueller?) aargh!

Ok, on the blind date front. I was officially introduced to the guy on Friday. It was weird and awkward and he gave me his business card and told me to email him if I wanted to meet up (is that weird? I don't even know). We met for maybe 30 seconds so I can't tell what he's like really. I did email him on Monday but haven't heard anything back. I actually don't really care, but Jen (the girl who is trying to fix us up) is making me crazy. If she asks me one more time what I thought, or if I talked to him, or mentions that she talked to him, I'm going to completely flip out. I am seriously regretting letting her do this, not because of the guy, because of how nuts she's being.

On a lighter note (hah, pardon the pun), some music commentary:
  • Ben, you asked if I'd heard the Paris Hilton song. Scarily, yes, I have. Even more horrifying is that, though it's bad, it isn't nearly as bad as I'd expected it to be. I fear for the summer airwaves because I think that is ALL radio stations are going to play. Fight Paris Hilton's world domination! (hmm, that could be a catchy t-shirt...)
  • As much as I hate the Gnarls Barkley version of "Crazy," I've heard some covers that are actually pretty good. Guess it isn't the song but the presentation.
  • I am still undecided about Head Automatica, but their song, "Graduation Day" has grown on me. The video is pretty funny too.
  • I love the I Am Ghost song, "Dead Girl Epilogue." Very creepy...you can download it on their myspace page.
  • Check out Reggie and the Full Effect, "Take Me Home Please." Download it here.
That's it for now.

Have you seen http://www.freeindie.com/ ? Maybe its good, maybe it isn't.... I've only had time to listen to 1 mediocre song so far, but I like the idea.

Congrats on the new writing opportunity!!! Sweet! Hopefully you won't be reviewing Paris's new CD!! :)

Whahoo! Congrats on the new job! Heard anything more from Mr. Blind Date? Sounds like it could go either way... let us know how it turns out (and if you strangle Jen!).

In a sick, sick twisted way it would be HILAROUS if one of the cd's was Paris Hilton's...if for no other reason than to rip it to pieces (of course if it is even moderatley OK, I'm screwed).

Ben-freeindie.com seems cool, I'll have to do some more investigating (someday at work:)

Wife-Gratzi:) blind date boy emailed me WHILE DRIVING. I think this is doomed before it's even begun. Who the hell emails while driving??! Darwin award in the making.
