well, i did it. i went back to the used record store and got all the shit i left there last week because i needed more info some albums. what i brought back: Memphis Bleek's The Understanding; Beanie Sigel's The Truth and The Reason; and the reason i went back there today - Rosie Thomas' Only with Laughter Can You Win, the owner (young 25-ish girl) was so happy i got it too :) this young guy was my cashier but i saw her hovering behind him, trying to see what i was buying. when she saw the Rosie cover she commented on how happy she was someone was buying it 'cause she loved it and couldn't understand why people weren't buying it. score :)

update:
my day just got this much better. between the used record store buys, the day off, and tonight's massive Boston vs Montreal game on tv, i was ecstatic as it was. but then i went to my mailbox and found this -- my amazon.ca order: Beulah's Yoko, The Decemberists' Castaways and Cutouts, and the reason i put in the order in the first place -- the limited edition of Iron & Wine's Our Endless Numbered Days with the bonus disc. this edition will apparently only be out in the U.S. so i was scurrying around trying to find a place that was carrying it. the only place up here seemed to be amazon.ca but even they put a few weeks delay on it. and when my order was to be shipped i checked the site and it had gone into another couple of weeks delay. i emailed them and it strangely shipped that night. i wasn't gonna be happy until i saw it for real, though. now i'm happy :)

damn near genius post about George W's vacation time. worth it for the title alone.

and it's now official -- there'll be no 24 on Global either tonight. the episode will air next sunday at 9 pm.
