a few items of note i'm listening to my first ever coldplay album ("a rush of blood to the head") right now. i know i'm terribly late to discover them, but i'm feeling all of those strong, deep, melancholy-good feelings that come when i listen to music that i'm going to love for a long time. i like that the album comes with a huge list of contact info for fair-trade organizations. my comments seem to have gone down for the moment. i hope they come back soon, because i want to hear what y'all have to say! i've added a few people to the sidebar. please visit them often and say kind, true things. please say kind, true things often, to everyone. daniel has food poisoning today. i think long-distance relationships stink the most when you want to take care of someone, but you can't as well as you'd like. that is all. be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
