I found this abandoned barrette this morning and put it into my hair. Somehow it feels as though this could be the beginning of a scary story where someone else narrowly escaped doom while wearing it and left it for another hapless soul. We’ll see if it brings me bad luck this weekend…

I’m feeling sunshine-y and happy about the fall, which somehow translated into needing Mates of State. My iPod reminded me that the last time I felt this way was while I was getting ready for Halloween 2008; a nice memory from my old apartment! I guess I also listened to the last track on my birthday last year. Mates of State goes with smiles and rainbows.

“ …sooner or later, someone was likely to compose 4’33” or something very close to it; it wasn’t that the requisite theory and technique were lacking to a composer working in the 1850s, just that no one before John Cage had thought about sound and silence in quite the same way, or thought to claim that block of not-quite-silence by naming it.

“ The morning that Michael Jackson died, the words “stricken” and “resuscitate” were the most looked up words.

The next video was affect vs. effect. I think this is a good thing.

Consumers Reports Confirms Bisphenol A Leaches From Tin Cans (TreeHugger) The only things I very regularly eat from cans are black beans and chick peas. Perhaps I should begin to seriously consider an alternative; starting from dry beans can’t be as scary as I think.
