Today's my second day off work. The project at AmFam ended last Friday, and I'm staying home with Evan 'till I find something else. There's a possibility of part-time work at Apex (the gutted remains of my old employer, Impressions), and if that pans out, it'd be wonderful, 'cause I could still stay home during the day.

I've been puttering around cleaning the house since yesterday; there's maybe fifteen more minutes of work in the living room, and then all the public areas of the house will be clean. I'm loving staying at home during the day, I've got more energy than I know what to do with since I'm actually moving around and doing stuff, instead of sitting in front of a monitor. Evan seems much happier, too.

Two albums have been making me happy lately: The Arcade Fire's Funeral, which sounds to me like the Flaming Lips, Broken Social Scene, and Franz Ferdinand got together and made an album. That is Very Good. It traverses the same sort of melodramatic psychedelia territory that The Soft Bulletin did so well.

Then there's Two Lone Swordsmen's From the Double Gone Chapel, which is quite a departure from their usual dirty electro: TLS has gone...goth-rock! Seriously, it's pretty awesome, if you've got a soft spot for dark basslines and black-clad eyeliner guys growling into distorted mics.

C'mon. You know you do.
