So, I attended a job interview last week and received a request for things like my references, transcripts, etc. This hasn’t happened for me before (and I’ve attend 3 interviews prior to this one). I liked the environment and my interviewer was laidback, but insightful. We talked for a good bit (~ 1hr long interview) [...]

This band (Pelican) simply rocks! First of all, they don’t have a singer/lyricist. They make the music with their instruments consisting of a bass player, a drummer and two other guitar players. As you may or may not know, my husband is Caucasian and I’m Nigerian. We went downtown to a part of the city and to a club where my kind isn’t frequently seen. This place was the 40 Watt club and I’ve actually been there before with Matt (to see The Melvins). As expected, I had to wear earplugs, but I could hear fine although Matt kept mothering me. 
There was about ~25 people in the club by Matt’s estimate and still, in his words, “they played their heart(s) out” Their sound is nothing like I’ve heard before and I’m frankly speaking. If their songs could have lyrics, they’d be almost melancholy. Matt pegs their styles as “emotional, dramatic and heavy.” He took the words right out of my mouth. They’ve got a hectic tour schedule so go listen to them while they’re in the US. Or check out their Myspace page for samples.

Going to church

For the hell of it, I’ve created an event i.e. going to a Baptist church with my friends, P and J. I’ll hopefully go to lunch afterwards or I suspect I’ll be too tuckered out to do much. I stayed up till 5.35am reading a book by Ken Follett called “A Place called Freedom”. To say it moved me is saying the least. The fact that I refused to sleep till I’d consumed the whole book should tell you something. Go check the book out from your local library, now! The next book I’ll be feasting my eyes on is a book by a renowned ethnobiologist from Harvard who teased out the ingredients in Haitian voodoo that caused the phenomenon of zombie-ism. I can’t remember the title of the book right now, but it’s a must read for those who poo-poo the occult.
Simply blown away!

Holy crap! WPG2 is working with my Wordpress installation!! I’m so thrilled. After much googling, I decided to post to the WPG2 forum with my problem and none other than the developer (ozgreg) responded to my posts with really helpful information. I didn’t have to do any “hacking” (as if I could). I’m as pleased [...]

Well, a lot of us. I am thoroughly nauseated at the collective mindset of people. I’m getting reacquainted with NBC’s Dateline and right, watching an episode called “To Catch an i-Jacker“. This means they’re tracking (and hopefully catching) those people who nabbed ipods that were planted by the dateline crew. They use a bunch of [...]
Okay, I would like to integrate my Gallery with Wordpress and there’s a plugin for it. However, because I installed Gallery2 and Wordpress on different databases, I’m essentially stuck. Grrrh. Well, thank God for Weird Al Yankovic at times like this! I’ve been a fan of his numerous parodies. One of my favorites is [...]
