Here are 2 mp3′s I managed to record with my camera. The audio isn’t perfect, but that bad for a cheap digital camera.

Zombies Hack Spreading [humor]
I’m assuming you’ve all seen the Zombie Sign hack going around (now includes Raptors), unless you’ve been under a rock… The best part is the commentary on the articles…
I think that the Indiana Senate should pass a non-binding resolution stating that Indiana is against housing Raptors within Indiana. While they are at it they might as well pass a resolution about Zombies. As the weather warms up me might have them migrating from Austin to Indiana. Better safe then sorry. – qwerty68 on Indystar
OMG..Bush is back in Texas too.
Those poor brain eating zombies are going to starve to death! LWaddict CrimeblogWFAA
That is true, there are zombies all over Austin. EP Guy on NBCDFW
Contrary to niki sevven’s comment, cold *does* stop Zombies. Because they are living dead and do not generate body heat, their bodies freeze solid, the stagnant blood turning to putrid ice in their decaying veins. They go as stiff as a dead fish, and cannot move at all. However, they are still un-alive. The freezing is only a temporary immobilization. Once the summer comes or if they’re brought indoors and thawed out, they will get up resume their quest for brains. Sam on NBCDFW
Well, if anything, please brush your teeth (whatever is left in your decayed zombie corpse). Brain-breath has got to be the nastiest bad breath around! KXAN message boards

Should I Stay or Should I Go?
It’s final, I’m staying at my mothers for a bit longer. No date set for an exit. Things have become so peaceful and non soap opera-ish. With Beverly gone and my sister passing it just all of the sudden became a normal house. It was quite hard to wrap my mind around the reality that Kim wasn’t going to be randomly bursting into arguments with my mom or someone in the house. Or that Beverly wasn’t on the couch anymore every afternoon sleeping or watching TV. It is now just silence..only disrupted every now and then by my mom walking down the hallway with her brace/cast. I call it “peg legging” because she walks like a peg legged pirate.
Of course financial reasons are keeping us at the house. Matt just bought a pretty new car that has a pretty monthly payment and an increased insurance costs. He got a Hyundai Elantra 2008, his first brand spanking new car. It’s super cute and is a charcoal gray. Yes. I’m jealous. But I still have love for my Honda (which just passed the 100k mile mark!) I did 55k of that since October of 2005!
I also got us a pretty new thing too.. a freaking sweet 42″ LCD HDTV with Wifi & LAN connections along with a bevy of input jacks on the back. It’s pretty obscene in our bedroom. I’m thinking the living room might be a better setup at a later date. For now having it in the bedroom hooked up to my newly finished HTPC makes me really happy. I’m thinking Photoshop @ 42 inches is just gonna be friggin awesome!
On the school front, I’m still behind. Taking 3 classes was just a bad idea. With all the Kim dying and recently and completely unexpected near death of Matt’s dad (getting better now), school just took a backseat. But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t gotten some really cool stuff done in at least my photography class. My desktop that I made all crispy the day after Kim’s death is finally back and running so I can finally scan some of my work and share it with you via my Flickr account. Expect some of that later this week. For now it’s off to work tasks!
Also as a side note: Due to all the insanity in my home life and the setbacks it caused in school I can’t justify a trip down to Austin for my Faux Bday so expect a cancellation notice soon. I’ve gotta get caught up and that is going to take all the energy I have. Perhaps I’ll just come down to get shit-faced after the semester is up? Anyone in for a “what a fucked up year” party in A-town come May?

Ghostland Observatory
I know it’s a few days post ACL but I can’t stop thinking about this band I saw on the last night of the festival. That band was Ghostland Observatory. They were the most energetic and thrilling band aside from Bjork. I didn’t know what they would be like because I only glanced at them last year as I was passing the stage they were on. Quite honestly, I was like what the fuck was that! I thought it was a chick b/c I was so far away all I could see was a pink shirt and braided hair in “pig tail” form and I heard a very high voice. Up close this is what he looked like…
Thankfully this year they got a night time slot and were able to show off with some spectacular stage lights…
I was up towards the camera rigging and the lights were constantly blinding my camera so my shots weren’t great. I was dancing anyways because the beats were so infectious.

This performance is kind of calm compared to live shows..but you can see the energy he has in studio…it’s only say 10x’s that when he’s got the crowd he had at ACL.
