Cinco de Mayo Stress

I've decided to take a very relaxed attitude towards posting this week. That's because:
1) The past few weeks have been stressful. Cinco de Mayo and whatnot.
2) I have to spend this weekend with the entirety of family, whilst recovering from some minor surgery. "Don't they give you lots of drugs for that?" They do, but I'm still taking my precautions.

(Oh man, Firefox blew up after writing that paragraph, then I was able to successfully restore session! Wow, that was a close one; I fear the future without those lines. Anyway.)

I mentioned how I'm trying to keep myself to 3 hours of tv for the week. I should note that I exempted one movie from that time allotment. (Come on, people, I'm a NetFlix subscriber and not some idiot.) Tonight, I drank some Boddington's and watched Tristram Shandy. Verdict? Enjoyable, but don't knock yourself out trying to see it.

I should also note that Elliott Smith's latest posthumous release, New Moon, came out on Tuesday. I'm a very big Elliott Smith fan, but I'd call this latest release slight inessential. My plan is that, if I ever become an artist, the first statement in my will shall read, "BURN ALL UNFINISHED WORK RIGHT NOW!" The second statement would probably read, "DISAVOW ALL PATERNITY SUITS!" But really, if the material were that good, why wouldn't the dude release it while alive? Anyway, it's all we get now and it's not so bad.
