And it was perfect until the telephone started ringing

Since everyone else seems to have posted in the last 24 hrs…
Cheesefry mentioned the Guifications Gaim plugin, which I’ve been using for about a month now, although I created a custom theme that’s even smaller and more plain than the Mini theme that ships with it because I don’t like wasting screen real estate.
Additionally, Mike talked about someone introducing him to The Postal Service.* I seem to recall buying the album sometime in the spring, could it have been me? Shortly thereafter I did talk to Buzzco and perhaps Cheesefry who also suggested Death Cab for Cutie and All-Time Quarterback (both of which feature Ben Gibbard).
In other news, don’t go see Assault on Precinct 13, even if it’s available at the low, low price of $3.50. Last night Mike, Randy and I went to see it at the American and it was so terrible Morpheus could not even save it. On a slightly better note, I went to the Roxy tonight and saw The Aviator, which was pretty decent.
Perhaps this weekend I will go see the new Phantom of the Opera movie for the heck of it. I also hope Sideways arrives at the Roxy or American soon (Jamin Gray has an interesting scene transcript from it). If people are interested in going, let me know.
One final observation: it’s interesting just how small even small towns can be sometimes. Over winter break I discovered via The Facebook that someone I knew from high school was going to St. Lawrence so I sent him a message and we agreed to get together sometime. On Friday night when I was having dinner at Maxfield’s, who is sitting there at the next table but this kid. Hopefully we will actually find some time this semester to grab a beer or something and catch up.
*The remix TPS/Dntel did of The Dream of Evan and Chan is cool, btw, as is remix TPS did of The Flaming Lips “Do you realize?”. Check ‘em out if you haven’t already.
Update: the title of this post has changed. I like to pick something that seems relevant at the moment, but the original was just too weird a coincidence.
