And other shows that really aren&#8217;t as good: <strong>Jericho <\/strong>(OK, not great); <strong>New Amsterdam <\/strong>(really kinda bad but the dude is so watchable, what can a lonely girl do?); <strong>How I Met Your Mother <\/strong>(I do not call last night&#8217;s episode returning with a bang, sorry kids) and some DVDs to help me out during the 2008 CD Reorganization Project, I&#8217;ll try to pop in and tell you about them before I take off.

Also getting to know the new <strong>Stephen Malkmus &#038; the Jicks<\/strong>.  A bit rougher\/less produced than Malin but pretty damn good.  Have been introducing other slackers to <strong>Nada Surf &#8220;Get Lucky&#8221;<\/strong>, <strong>The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir <\/strong>(self titled) (FUN!), <strong>Mike Doughty &#8220;Golden Delicious&#8221;<\/strong> and <strong>Missy Higgins &#8220;On a Clear Night&#8221;<\/strong>. Going to see <strong>The Raveonettes <\/strong>tonight although I haven&#8217;t gotten through the entire new album yet; everytime I start listening something else gets in the fucking way!<\/p>\n<p>and p.s. thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/fuelfriends.blogspot.com\/\">Fuel\/Friends <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/fuelfriends.blogspot.com\/2008\/03\/crazy-french-guys-stephen-malkmus-and.html\">the LaBlogotheque Concert \u00e0 Emporter of Stephen Malkmus<\/a>, this morning I am listening to <strong>Reckoning <\/strong>(yes, that&#8217;s <strong>R.E.M. <\/strong>to you young&#8217;uns) which has not been listened to full on&#8230;in many years.
