In a moment of “purge mode”, A. & I decided to strip the slips out of our CD jewel cases and discard the cases themselves (the CDs have already all been ripped to MP3 and/or AAC and been scooted into books for easier storage and access). Turns out we were able to fill two garbage […]

(via B^2) Pixies songs “as performed […]
Back from Philly Monday night… NCAA Lacrosse action did not disappoint. Cortland vs. Salisbury for the D3 final turned out to be the highlight game of the weekend, I think – – but it was also fuckin’ sweet to watch UVA chastise UMass for their Saturday-borne arrogance.
