• Life as a House - Moderately predictable, very heart-rending, oddly affecting. Kevin Kline is his usual incredible self and Hayden Christenson wasn't too bad, either.
  
• Chumbawamba Readymades - British folk samples, trippy beats, social consciousness. Does anyone care that they've just made their best album? Universal pretty obviously doesn't, since they haven't done diddly shit to promote the thing. A pox on all major labels. They take their pound of flesh and leave you to rot in the courtyard.
  
• Changing Rooms and Ground Force - Two great shows on BBC America, the first the British precursor to Trading Spaces and the latter a garden makeover show. Sounds weird, but they're both strangely addictive.
  
• Recording of my own - See an earlier entry for a link to an MP3 to a rough/almost finished VERY '80s take on a traditional Scottish tune. Lots of others in the fire, trying to get my music career going again finally. Will the world be ready?
  
• Deacon Blue Homesick - One of my favorite bands ever. This is their reunion album. Taking a few years off did them some good.
  
• Mason After a few weeks hardly seeing each other, we spent a good weekend getting reacquainted with each other, and remembering again how much we love each other. He truly rocks my world, and brings me strange things from faraway places and calls me to tell me how much he misses me. So I admit it, I'm a romantic sap. Now if we can only get a good weekend out of town, alone!
  
• My sister - Coolest woman on the planet facing life changes and generally becoming the person she's always wanted to be (I hope!)
  

More news later. I am becoming :^)
