Geschlecht und die Stadt

(Translation thanks to babelfish.)

Lauren and I have been watching a lot of Sex and the City… I’d say an average of five episodes per day. We have been checking the episodes out from Blockbuster and Wake Forest’s library. Lauren’s blogged about it on her “books/media” page.

It’s curious how seasons one through four have six episodes per DVD, yet seasons five and “six part one” and “six part two” each have four episodes per DVD… probably right around when they realized that people would pay good money for them.

Gone Nutty on iTunes

I don’t use iTunes near the way Rob does, but when I do I guess I buy quite a bit.

Albums:

Such Great Heights EP: The Postal Service, the Shins, and Iron & Wine
Bryter Layter: Nick Drake
Give Up: The Postal Service

Songs:

Let Go, Frou Frou
Lebanese Blonde, Thievery Corporation
Fair, Remy Zero
In the Waiting Line, Zero 7
University Microfilms International, Stereolab

Basically, I bought the Garden State soundtrack, only I went exploring rather than just buying the album.

Other interests I’ve found: Serge Gainsbourg, Antonio Carlos Jobim, more of The Postal Service, Underworld (maybe), and the other albums by Beck, The Bad Plus, and Stereolab.
