Years ago, my friend Andrea pointed out that the fall was the best time to listen to Radiohead. It just has a feel of the autumn in its music. Ever since then, I always find myself walking outside or staring out the bus window while listening to them. I don’t have many albums so I picked up their Amnesiac album yesterday as well as a Damien Rice album from the past. I find I have this problem where if I am introduced to a band by a newer album, I rarely appreciate their older works. It must be because they usually are worse because with each new album a musician advances in music. Anyhow, while waiting for the Smashing Pumpkins to come on state at the Osheaga Festival, I enjoyed what I heard from the Damien Rice so I figured I would give him a chance. So far, so good.
Last night I caught up with a few episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. I didn’t care for the season premiere this year, but the subsequent episodes made me a fan once again. I’m liking some of the new dynamics they’ve introduced within the cast. I also watched Journeyman – the tale of a guy who time travels unwillingly. Think – Quantum Leap. I enjoyed the first episode and will continue watching for a few episodes to see if it’s worth my time or not.
We also had a feed of moose meat last night (thanks to Sam and Marc-Andre for that!) which was excellent as always. I was joking that there wasn’t enough salt in it, but this hearkens back to awhile ago where I messed up the recipe and the moose meat was saturated in salt! Vero was not impressed at all as we had guests over and they had to choke it down. Ah well. Nothing like a good salt lick for supper!
The weekend is looking up to be a bust for me. I have to study for a few midterms AND I just got word that I have a written exam for a PM-05 position at work on Thursday. So…I have three tests next week. Gak! I also want to attempt to fix my eavestrough before the weather gets cold, but we’ll see how that goes…
