The Muffin Man

It seems the days I have spare time to blog are also the same days I make muffins. Today is no exception.

As usual, during my excursion to round up mega muffin ingredients, I was sucked by nerd-gravity into the awesome book store next to the Organic Market. I was then forced to buy yet another book, Ray Kurzweil’sThe Singularity is Near.

Last night Christine and I went to see Audioslave at the collesium. What a freaking kick-ass show! For the uninitiated, Audioslave is a relatively new band comprised of the musicians from Rage Against the Machine and fronted by Soundgarden‘s Chris Cornell. I don’t like Audioslave’s mix nearly as much as the two original bands, but they are still darned good. Rage & Soundgarden helped get me through my high-scool years. What abso-fluting-lutely rocked about the concert was that they covered old songs from both original bands. So even though I never got to see those bands live before they broke apart, it was the next best thing. On the Soundgarden side, they did Rusty Cage, Spoonman, and Cornell did a solo-acoustical of Black-Hole Sun. On the Rage side, we had Bulls on the Parade, Sleep now in the Fire, Testify, and in the encore, Killing in the Name. OMFG, wonderful. We had a shitty extreme stage-left angle but we were nice and close. Tom Morello (guitar) had a blue jumpsuit on and put it to good use by jumping a lot. Very fun to watch.

We were at the collesium a few weeks ago, to see System of a Down. It was a great show too, but we had nose-bleeder seats so mostly I had to imagine it was a great show.

I ate pretty light today, but haven’t felt hungry. I’m planning to have a little wine tonight during Family Guy and American Dad anyhow. Not that that shit needs booze to be funnier.

Peace.
