ben folds tonight. haven’t really been the super fan i used to be. i’m listening to his new album for the first time here so that i know what his new stuff sounds like. and it’s not terrible. it doesn’t really smack of the energy he had when he was with darren and jesse. it just sounds like a continuation of rocking the suburbs, which i suppose it pretty much has to be. at least he’s got some of his jazz solos thrown in his songs again, i missed that. he still puts on a pretty good live show though and it’s at a winery, and there’s a weekend of possiblities ahead. mangling for manglings sake.
so they were testing the fire alarms this morning. if i had a job, i wouldn’t have even noticed. but they woke me up at 9, and the bell’s right out our window so it was a bit distracting. i guess they are meant to alarm you if there’s a fire present, and it certainly fits the bill.
it’s the weekend, but it’s pretty similar to the last two months.
