Have a good one. I will return with plenty of pictures.

Adios.

A fun activity of late has been games of frisbee in Kiesel Park on sunny afternoons. Here are a few pics of the last game on Sunday.











































It was a lot of fun.

Check out the sky:





More frisbee for sure when Spring Break cometh.

Here are some hot 'n tasty nuggs of good feeling for you, the starved masses. Included are an ass-load of nice covers, and some originals. Enjoy!

Bob Dylan and George Harrison- Song to Woody

This is an EXCELLENT song. Dylan's tribute to the legendary Woody Guthrie, performed with George Harrison, nonetheless. I'd argue for it to be included in Dylan's top 10, even though that's impossible. The best songs of Dylan's career couldn't possibly be condensed into only ten. Anyway, here's a sample lyric:

"Hey, hey, Woody I wrote you a song. 'Bout a funny ol' world that's comin' along. Seems sick and it's hungry and it's tired and it's torn. It seems to be dying, yet it's hardly been born."

Drve-By Truckers- Hey Ya!

This is an excellent cover. The sound quality is so-so, but it's still good. I'm especially fond of the way DBT sings the chorus. As Bonnaroo draws near, I rejoice... near.

The Caterpillars of the Community- Miss Molly

Auburn natives jamming out to a classic. Support local music... by stealing it off the internet! Jay Kay ;)

John Pizzarelli- Get Back

A happenin' big band jazz cover of an always enjoyable Beatles tune.

Dread Zeppelin- Heartbreaker (At the End of Lonely Street)

An fantabulous mixmatch of two fantabulous songs. I found these guys by accident one night. Turns out they are fucking nuts live. The lead singer dresses up like Elvis and convulses wildly about the stage while performing Led Zeppelin songs.

Leon Russell- Jambalaya (On the Bayou)

My dad has been into this guy forever. He almost creamed his pants when he found Leon Russell's Hank Wilson's Back on CD back in the early 90's. A lot of the songs on the album, like this one, are Hank Williams covers. Almost beats the original.

Keller Williams- Midnight Rider, Under Pressure, Illegal Smile, and Lightning (With String Cheese Incident)

A kouple of kool Keller kovers. I'm especially fond of the mouth-trumpeting at the end of Keller's cover of the John Prine Classic, "Illegal Smile".

I also included the song "Lightning" from The Keller Williams Incident album, Breathe. Sunday night I actually saw lightning hit the road in front of me while driving down Wright's Mill Road. I didn't even realize what had happened until I heard the thunder, and for the first time in my life I had a panasonic experience. Every sound possible in the universe entered my ears at that moment. In other words, it was FUCKING LOUD.

Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie- Dizzy Atmosphere

An awesome Jazz number from the Dizz 'N Bird performance at Carnegie Hall. The MP3 file tells me that it happened in 1947, but I really doubt it. I actually downloaded this tune because it was poorly labeled, and I thought that it was an Atmosphere song, but I wasn't let down at all by my mistake.

Twinemen- The Definition of Truth

David Grubbs- Windchimes

This song is off of a really good CD called Smiling Pets. It's a compilation of various artists performing Beach Boys songs. Excellentay.

Van Morrison- Just Like a Woman

Yes!

The Jerry Garcia Band- Mississippi Moon and Catfish John

Believe it or not, Jerry could rock out just as well by himself.

Lastly, I give you the latest additions to the Bonnaroo roster:

The Word

Joyful Sounds and I'll Fly Away

Well, there they are.

"Sharpen your boot, and bludgeon yer eye/
The Blarney Stone brings a tear to me eye"

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I got this temporary tattoo from Country's BBQ last weekend thinking it was a sticker. When I found out that it was, in fact, a tattoo, I decided to put it on the window of my dormroom. There it shall stay until next year when some some undergrad moves into the room. Hopefully it will perplex him. Maybe to the point of suicide. Who knows?

Anyway, this weekend was another bogus one. Nothing of real note happened, although I did get some great pictures.

On Thursday, following the AHS B-Ball game in Birmingham, Conor, Maureen, Miles, Richard, and Rollie all came to 'Vallo to visit me. It was a fun time had by all.



After some afternoon delight in my dormitorium, we headed down to Orr Park for a game of Frisbee.







For some reason, Maureen was being exceedingly anti-social. At one point she sketched off to the bench at the top of the hill where all the goth chicks hang out whenever I'm down there. It was very strange.

After a very spirited, yet somewhat unsuccessful due to windy conditions, game of Frisbee, we headed back on to campus for eats and a guided tour provided by me. We went to the Montevallo cafeteria and ate some dinn. Miles nearly shit himself when I told him that it was all-you-can-eat. He then proceeded to eat one of every item on the menu, plus desert. It was astounding.

After dinner, it was time for a viewing of Montevallo's most famous attraction: THE WORLD'S LARGEST KNOWN GEODE

For those of you who don't remember your childhood, a geode is one of those rocks that you pay $35 dollars for at a children's museum, break it open, and there's some crystals inside. Well, the Montevallo geode is just a little bigger than that, except there are no crystals inside, just some gay iridescent rock. BOOOOORING!



Nonetheless we had to check it out.



Miles was infatuated.





Rollie even climbed inside the rock. Once there, he achieved spiritual nirvana and ascended to heaven.

After looking at the geode, we walked across the quad to the large hand statues entitled "Becoming".







Conor was particularly fascinated.

It was starting to get dark so we decided to head back to Auburn. Unfortunately, Richard had classes the next day and could not join us. However, my sources tell me that he'll be back this weekend.

On the way back to Auburn, Miles and I had a race. I promptly kicked his ass, despite his claims.

Friday night, I went over to Ryder's apartment. Next door there was a large party going on. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves:



























That about sums it up.

Sunday Charlie and his WM roommate, Will, came into town for their one day in Auburn during their spring break. We went out to the creek and built a nicely sized campfire. Then we weren't there anymore.

Went home, went to sleep, woke up, came here, went to class, went to sleep, woke up, went to class, went to sleep, woke up, went to class, came back to my room, sat down, here I am.

Goodbye.

ALSO: Congratulations to my high school alma mater, AHS, on becoming the Alabama 6A State Basketball Champions. I don't know the first fucking thing about basketball, but you've got to support your peeps.
