More free music

The Caretaker has made two more albums available online - free! The first is A Stairway to the Stars, their sophmore full-length, and Additional Amnesiac Memories, the addendum to their recent 72-track epic Theoretically Pure Anterograde Amnesia (also a free download, which I blogged about previously).

This past weekend was refreshingly uneventful due to the start of spring break. Friday afternoon I found a Borders gift card lying on in the street near my house. I immediately wanted to find out how much it was worth and spend it, but I have this irritating goodie-two-shoes quality that required me to try to find its rightful owner. I didn't find it in a location that led me to believe it belonged to a neighbor, so I called Borders. Their customer service rep said that there was no way to return it to the purchaser because it was not registered to anyone. She also told me that it had $30 on it. So all I could do was spend it and try to live with myself. Luckily I have enlisted the counsel of Prince, who is currently advising me to party like it's 1999. It's the most sensible advice I've heard all day.

I quite enjoyed the rain on Saturday. Though all the joints in my right leg were sore, I had a pleasant time wrapped in a blanket on the couch, listening to the rain and watching the Discovery Channel. My roommate, John, suggested that my joints were sore because of the weather. I am way too young for that, so I disemboweled him and made a macramé potted plant holder out of his small intestine. Just kidding - it was a toaster cozy.

Tonight I will watch a documentary about comets on the History Channel and play World of Warcraft. Yes, I know I'm a nerd - no need to post it in the comments.
