Shortly there should be a review I wrote of the newest Death Cab for Cutie album (on RelevantMagazine.com. I’m fairly certain that people will not be happy with my review (because I don’t out-and-out love the album). BUT I do like Plans, but I don’t feel it’s great, or even on par with Transatlanticism. I feel DCFC could have done much better (and they’ve laid the groundwork for me to expect better).
I had a bad evening yesterday. My typical Friday’s (as I’ve stated previously) end at 3:30ish, and I go to wind down the week at the Dubliner with my friends Jason and Jared. So right at 3:15 (as I was readying to leave), I get an IM. Then there ensued a “minor” altercation with a client. “Heated” conversations over IM rarely go well; its a horrible place for discussions when there is no body language or tone its hard to know the intent of words. Effective communication often involves more than one sense. But I digress …
There’s a tight deadline on a project I’m working on. I think “they” needed to lash out from what I assume is pent up stress. I got the brunt of the pounding. I tried to remain calm. I missed my Friday wind down. There wasn’t really a resolution, but my tasks (as far as I can tell) are done.
Meh. Saturday chores are calling …
