The W00t Rant: From Day 5 to Being Smoke Free (Since Day 5)

Sites You Should Visit

gingerblue.com
An old friend's website. She's had a blog before it was even called a blog. Also, my all-time favorite web designer. If her site isn't art, I don't know what is.
deviantART
The BEST online site for digital art. From winamp skins to Wacomb tablet drawn works to exquisite digital photography.
game girl advance
I've been reading this site/blog for sometime now (2 years, hey... that's a long time for the web!) Insightful, funny, and personal, game girl advance gives the straight scoop on women and videogames.
JASON BALLOT'S PALETTE/PALATE
Awww yeah, my good friend Jason has joined the blogging front! Great thoughts ranging from politics to music to books. Go there, NOW!

Yeah, it's been a while. Fuck that. As I've said in previous posts, I refuse to apologies mainly because EVERYONE does that. Anyway, some catch up news: I quit smoking. There, I said it. I am a smoke free individual, and yes it feels fantastic. Can we all now just move on?

(Yes, by the way, I still quite enjoy the ganja. Just substitute cigs with ganja, but with a whole lot less)

Everyone has asked me if I've experienced anything after I quit smoking. "Experienced" meaning something regarding the senses: smell, taste, etc. The answer is definitely yes. It all involves a loaf of bread, smelling it, and getting an enormous hit of the smell of pure alcohol. Not sure WHY that happened, but I have to say that it hit me like a train.

M. Ward: Transistor Radio
I discovered this album while listening to NPR's "All Things Considered" and was immediately taken by it. In fact, I actually pulled over (at a McDonalds) to write the artist's name and album down. I find the overall album soothing with touches of folk and accoustic tones. The album is probably give or take for many, but for me it's comfort food.
Jamiroquai: Dynamite
Recommended by a good friend of mine. Then again, he didn't really have to recommend it. All he had to say was: "There's a new Jamiroquai album out!" Done and done, I say. It's been 4 years since their last foray, and what a welcome return. My god, this is the sound that I've been missing for so long. Jamiroquai's music is what I love about music in general: songs have a familiar feel but have a taste of freshness. Delicious.
Everything But The Girl: Temperamental
No, this album isn't "new" per se. "Temperamental" was actually released 1999, but I didn't pick this up until recently. In the past year (or so), Everything But the Girl has turned out to be one of my favorite groups. Tracey Thorn's (lead vocalist) voice is velvety and sultry and Ben Watt's arrangements range from jazzy to funky to trance-y. This 1999 album has the "trance-y" feel to it with hot club-like beats with the sultry vocal background of Tracey Thorn. Yes, I want her.
