Snow Patrol - Eyes Open Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere She Wants Revenge - She Wants Revenge (new to me, at least) http://ryan.laneve.com/2006/05/21/more-new-tunes/ Quicksilver is a small "launcher" application - totally free - that I had checked out when I first got my Powerbook, but I guess I just didn't "get it" at the time; I tossed it in the trash and moved on with life. As of today, it's back on my ... http://ryan.laneve.com/2006/02/16/got-a-mac-get-quicksilver/ I'm getting bored. I've been "on vacation" all of four hours and I'm already quite certain I won't make it the rest of the week. What in the world am I going to do for another four days when I'm bored after only four hours? I was going to paint ... http://ryan.laneve.com/2006/02/13/vacation-day-one/ I grabbed a couple of tracks from Arctic Monkeys recently, and I'm all about "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" and "Fake Tales of San Francisco". Check 'em out on iTunes. While you're there, buy some more Bloc Party - they still kick ass and have several tracks ... http://ryan.laneve.com/2006/02/08/new-tunes/ Yep: he's back. I went out earlier today and, upon returning home, noticed a bag of mulch sitting up against the corner of my garage door.

You want a career that allows you to be creative, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be ... http://ryan.laneve.com/2005/11/15/im-gonna-be-a-nutrionistor-a-vet/ I have to rant here for a minute, because I find this extremely disturbing. On Wednesday evening, a man driving his car hit another man trying to cross the street. "The impact severed the pedestrian's lower right leg, which remained in the street. His head and arms went through the windshield, ... http://ryan.laneve.com/2005/10/21/wellas-long-as-he-didnt-mean-to/ There are some things I just refuse to mess with, and tonight one of them decided to move into my garage. I know, I know...logic says he was more afraid of me than I was of him, but still - why risk it? I snapped a few pics, but as ... http://ryan.laneve.com/2005/10/10/less-of-a-man-damned-if-i-care/ Why does hearing a song currently on my "playlist" being used in a commercial I feel is targeted at "grown-ups" bother me? Seriously...it makes me want to listen to the song a bit less than before seeing the commercial. Case in point: in my opinion, Kasabian's "Reason Is Treason" should not ... http://ryan.laneve.com/2005/09/12/music-in-commercials/ I finished Nick Hornby’s latest, A Long Way Down, recently and it’s definitely worth the time. The story involves four main characters, and each chapter switches from one character’s perspective to another. At first, this may seem a bit distracting or even confusing.
