twenty-three

Well folks, I'm starting to get pretty excited. It's 4 hours 'til midnight. Coldplay's new album, Viva La Vida Or Death and All His Friends, will be released tomorrow. I'm hoping iTunes will push the button for the east coast and I'll get to listen in about an hour, but I'm not getting my hopes too high.

I'll be posting a review of the album as soon as I've actually listened to it. So far, I've done a pretty good job of "saving myself" for this first listen today. I've heard about 5 seconds of the single, "Violet Hill" and about 45 seconds of another song of the album today at the music store, but otherwise I've been keeping my ears closed for the first full listen. I'll take notes, write something up, and share it as soon as it's ready. I hope it's good, though I hear mixed reviews. I'm not one to listen too heavily to the popular media's take on what I like as far as music goes, so I'll be making my own mind up upon my listening.

In other news, tonight's the first Monday night of summer. Stacy is down in San Francisco, taking a short vacation with a couple of her teacher friends. I've had a pretty good day, pretty quiet around here. I went to my very first Yoga class today, which was fun. I'll try to write something up for that once I really get a feel for whether I like it or not. I've also done a bunch of start-of-the-summer errands, watched more of the West Wing, and I'm plowing my way through The Subtle Knife. Life is good. I'm glad summer's here.
