3 Day Weekend Stupor
Everything I did this weekend was done in my apartment. Most of it was laundry, dishes, cooking & cleaning, and goofing off with the computer. I have been messing with implementing some AJAX features for inline “read more” links – but I am no good with editing PHP or CSS, and wound up breaking more things than I fixed. Then again, it could just be theme complications. I suppose it doesn’t really make that much difference, though. I reverted to using the standard “more” link. Hope it doesn’t bug you guys at all. (The JET entry and $200 Taco entry both have the more link implemented, so you don’t get scared away by the shear length of my blog thoughts. At least, not until you click the more link.) Just thought the front page was starting to look a bit…gargantuan.

Anyway, I also wound up listening to music a lot as I did my chores, and I hit upon an old favorite of mine that I thought I’d share. It’s called “myth0 ex” (not a typo) from the album Nu-En-Jin, by a group called Mortal. I liked these guys since my good friend Dwight hooked me up with a torn up copy of their album Fathom. I fell for the audio samples from big sci-fi movies (Alien, Dune, etc.) in the midst of their melodic glitch-tech digital grunge sound. Anyway, cool fact: my favorite band, Switchfoot, got Jerome Fontamillas from Mortal to join up with Switchfoot after they’d released Learning to Breathe. He was onboard for the most recent 2 albums. I met him (and all of them) at a summer music festival a while back. Anyhoo – the point of that back story was to tell you that this track features Jon Foreman, the lead man from Switchfoot, on vocals. It’s cool to hear both ends of the sound – Jerome + Switchfoot and Jon + Mortal. Cool stuff. Anyway, I like it. So don’t bash it too badly if you hate it.
