"Nobody 'Cept You"

This time tomorrow, I'll be rocking out to John Mellencamp. The Cougar. Mr. "Little Pink Houses" and "Small Town" himself. And Donovan--let's not forget Donovan, the guy who did "Mellow Yellow" and "Sunshine Superman," which are as trippy as the titles imply. It's gonna be fun.

I should also be going on my fun little Best Buy shopping spree beforehand, if dad's able to make it into town early enough (since he's off in Podunk, OK right now).

Had an interesting discussion this afternoon with Beth regarding weather, euthanasia, the deterioration of public education, and the rise of frightening neo-conservative groups that are apparently hell-bent on forcing God's hand and initiating Armageddon (honestly. There are some nutjobs out there who're trying to do that. Our wonderful President is one of 'em. Doesn't that fill your heart with a warm glow?). A somewhat surreal conversation, to be sure, and not one I expect the two of us to agree so much on. But hey, strange things happen sometimes, right?

Glen Phillips's new CD, Winter Pays for Summer, comes out tomorrow. With any luck, it'll be at Best Buy, and thus in my possession.
