Present to Self

House Tornado + The Fat Skier by Throwing Muses. Throwing Muses were knocking at the door left open by Pixies, another band from the East Coast of U.S.A. They were also signed by 4AD and their demo was deemed to be so good it was released 'as is' (The Fat Skier), as was Pixies' Come On Pilgrim. Now I need to find a dark room in which I can lie down and listen to this all the way through without interruption...

True Blood

Watching the final ep of the first series.  I'm v. impressed by the whole thing.  I tried watching 'Lost', but that fell away.  TB had a pace from the beginning that sucked me in.  I've got Flash Forward on tape to watch and I've got the feeling I shall bum that off after three eps.  Never mind.  If I lose interest, it'll free up space on the HD.

Washed out by Wave

Well, I'm really cheesed off.
I was given a Google Wave account a week or so ago and felt like I was one of the chosen ones. Then I find out Wave is not compatible with normal email, the blog apps don't work, and the only people I can wave to are the ones I invite.
I know folks dig the collaborative aspect, and I know this is the USP. But Google must've known that people would want to upgrade from Gmail to Wave, and the fact that you can't integrate is a dissatisfier. v. poor Google! v. poor
