You know you’re getting lazy with the blog when you’ve not posted in so long that logging in presents you with a unfamiliar WordPress interface. Yeesh. So, what’s gone on?
In the last several months I’ve done trailers for Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt expansions to Fallout 3. This was one of the first times I [...]

Yeah, I do that a lot.
In the last month and a half I’ve:
Driven across the country with a car full of stuff and landed at my parents’ house.
Successfully locked down a job at Bethesda Softworks, a videogame company.
Lost my iPhone on the Metro.
Hunted for an apartment in DC, found one, and moved in with my [...]

I’m going to bed in Hollywood tonight.
With any luck I’ll be going to bed in Laramie, WY tomorrow night. My car is packed with everything I’m not leaving behind, and I should be in VA by late Wednesday night, with any luck.
I’ll be blogging and e-mailing from the road (while taking breaks from driving, obviously), [...]

While nothing has hit me hard enough to justify a full review since Boxer, I have been listening to several other albums in the last few weeks that deserve mention.
The Hush Sound – Goodbye Blues – Precious indie-pop kids grow up a bit and release a stronger, more forward album that maintains the infectious piano-driven [...]

So I was watching this really terrible movie, and while the credits were rolling this song came on, and I went “Boy that sounds a lot like Camera Obscura” and then they got down to the “here’s the music we used in our movie and its credits” section and sure enough, it was by Camera [...]

I miss Northern Virginia. And now, anytime I listen to music from my past or that reminds me of my friends, every time I look at relics of my time spent there, I miss it a little more. That suburban wasteland seems more appealing than this urban one. I’m starting to get nostalgic over things [...]

Found out my high-school friend Reneé is sick—like seriously, doctor-bafflingly sick—today. If there were any justice in the world, she wouldn’t be sick. I, a much shittier human being than she, would be sick. At least I’d deserve it.
Merry Christmas, everyone.

I’ll be honest—last year didn’t feel like Christmas. Maybe it was the warmer climate, the palm trees, or the lack of any decoration in the apartment. Even my single Christmas Eve trip to the church up the street didn’t bring the feeling around. I didn’t go home, so I didn’t have family around. All in [...]

In the last two weeks I’ve:
Become obsessed with Andrew Bird’s album Armchair Apocrypha.
Listened to the new Coheed and Cambria (verdict: enjoyable, but not mind-blowing).
Been to Amoeba Music for the first time.
Fluctuated between “money” and “no money” in terrifyingly rapid succession.
Bought Beautiful Katamari.
Gotten drunk.
Moved to Hollywood.
I guess that last one is the most important.

I’ve recommended a lot of albums to a lot of people in my time, but I believe (and I’m prepared to go on record as saying) this is the first time that a recommendation of mine has driven someone into a state of childlike fear. Score one for me, or perhaps Boards of Canada.
