Wow that's some rain out there! We need it and all, but I was getting used to not waking up cold in the morning.

Dance class tonight - lets see how my still mildly unhealthy body reacts to it!

We did get the last things into the dumpster last night (it should be picked up today) - our back yard looks like a back yard! We also washed mounds of laundry, got through a bit of the Sunday paper, and caught up with some recorded shows (the rest of Rollergirls, and the last 2 episodes of That 70's Show). Phear our mundane lives! I had other grand plans of going on a cleaning frenzy with the rugs, bathrooms, etc . . . I just got a bit tired. I'm looking forward to being back to normal energywise once this cold is gone.

I finally got around to listening to some of Queensryche's Mindcrime II album this morning. I really don't like the title song (I'm American) - it sounds like they are trying to be Maiden or something, the speed and vocals just aren't them. I did enjoy songs 5-10, and will get through the rest of it today. I also started a new book last night after making my way through V for Vendetta (Tiamatlady, we have to get it back to you). The new one is a history of Broadway choreographer/directors, and should be a good history of the art form and fill in pieces that I never picked up from my old teacher over the years. A review to come when I'm finished (I imagine it will be a quick read).

The Metal Years

Its only been released on VHS thus far, and I'm not sure how many rental places even carry VHS anymore.

I did see some bids on e-bay for it the last time I was looking, but I also found a website which seemed to suggest at some point they'd be available on DVD http://www.declinemovies.com/ (the site is super outdated). Who knows! :)

Oh,

yeah, i looked it up after i read that. sounds... eh, ok i guess. as far as queensryche goes, i like the first mindcrime best, and i have to admit - i like a goodly number of the songs off "empire." i haven't really paid attention since then.

i scored a copy of "the metal years" for $5 when a music store where i was growing up closed. it vanished sometime in the last 5 or 6 years, but i can't for the life of me remember to whom i might have loaned it.

I can see if I can swing by later on in the week, I have earbuds for B that I'm hoping not to lose in the wake of cleaning frenzy.

Maybe Thursday? I have a meeting in Watertown, it might be later but I'll just drop by.

Hee - I have to see if I can pawn anything else off on you guys! (I kid I kid - your house is the only one purging like mine!)
