ever since I bought a MacBook I've been thinking about becoming a vlogger

One of my coworkers got a Flip Video Ultra delivered to the office this morning. Counting theferrett, that makes two people I know who have them. And now one of my other coworkers who's a bit infamous for impulse buys, went and ordered one, too.

Shiny. Waaaaaant...

I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake

Does anybody want to go see Old Springs Pike with me? They're playing at the Paradise Lounge on January 24th (that's a Thursday), opening for some band I've never heard of. I have a suspicion tickets will go fast and would rather buy them in advance, but I also don't especially want to go to a show by myself. I'd make that sacrifice to see Old Springs Pike, though, they seem keen. I'm a sucker for four-part harmony... and of course it doesn't hurt that one of their members is Johnny Gallagher (recently of Spring Awakening fame.)

And speaking of music, the deadline for sing_along_club is this Friday, January 11th! My vocals are in -- are yours? Get 'em in, people!

For those who missed it when I shilled for sing_along_club the first time, the idea is this: every month we pick a geek-rock song and sing our hearts out into some sort of digital recording. These tracks are then submitted to the moderator, sweetafton23, who remixes them into an old-fashioned sing-along track featuring all of our voices together. This will be the inaugural song, so be sure to sign up and get in on the ground floor.
