Greetings/Mewsic

Dear Readers,

Welcome to my blog.

Blogs as so trendy, so self-indulgent. This won't be any different. As the name implies, this blog will be rants about origami. No, not really. I'll write whatever I feel like, thank you very much.

I think both the paper cranes and the harangues will have to wait. Sunday night is no time to put a lot of effort into anything except wasting time.

First off, I hope you are a fan of music because you can't read my blog if you're not. It's sort of a rule I'm setting. Anyway, I've been listening to the new Mew album a lot. It's called:

No More Stories
Are Told Today I'm Sorry They Washed Away
No More Stories The World Is Grey
I'm Tired Let's Wash Away

A lovely poem from a lovely band. Well, at least they're a lovely band. Seriously, the frontman, Jonas somethingorother, is one of the most adorable human beings I've ever seen. Check out some pictures that Laura took at their show in Boston here. He does this cute thing with his arm when he's singing that reminds me of this girl on some soccer team in high school who ran with her arms out like a T-Rex. That was bizarre; this is precious. I don't have any more synonyms for "adorable" so I'm going to stop talking about him now.

The point is, however, you should listen to Mew's new album. My favorite song, for now, is "New Terrain". Played backwards, it's "Nervous". What clever Danish boys. "Repeater Beater" and "Beach" are great, too, as is "Sometimes Life Isn't Easy" (even when you're that adorable.)


Fin.
