Yesterday I received from amazon.com a CD by Griffin House (one of the musicians on the cruise, who I actually never got to see but heard good things about) and the DVD of "The Remains of the Day." Watched the commentary to RotD; it was very good. Emma Thompson is hilarious. I guess she was a stand-up comic before she got into acting (she mentioned something about this in the commentary). Also, she and Anthony Hopkins are both obviously very, very smart. Smart, creative people are the best kind of people. <--My deep thought for the day. I am obviously not one of these smart, creative people I speak of.
Griffin House's CD was awesome also. He has a very Elliott Smith-esque vibe; he seems to also be fond of the double tracked vocals. So I was listening to the CD while futzing around on the computer and enjoying it but not actively paying much attention, and then I came to this song towards the end where I could have sworn he sang "I love your butt in my face" as the chorus. I almost spit out my drink. I was like, hmmm, this is not so Elliott Smith-like anymore. But it turns out he was merely singing "I love your blood in my veins." So that was a relief.
In other news, I am sooo not feeling the work vibe today. My boss has been out sick all week with the flu. Not that I wish her to be sick or anything like that, but wow, I can get so much more work done when I'm left on my own. So I've basically caught up with almost everything on my desk. A week ago I was buried in paperwork. I've been the anti-procrastinator lately, I guess. Until today. My goal today is to complete the minimum amount of real work that I can for the next five hours. Go go go.
Here is another of these comics that I liked:
