Oh, and I went ahead and posted up a few versions of “Hallelujah,” as well. There’s the original of course – and then arguably two of the better known covers by Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley (although I prefer Wainwright’s cover). Hope you like.
I came across this great MetaFilter post about a recent cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” It’s done by four Norwegians (I think): Kurt Nilsen, Espen Lind, Askil Holm and Alejandro Fuentes. Their voices are amazing, and some really great moments (I like Fuentes’ voice a great deal, and Nilsen’s crescendo when he kicks it up…

Spent tonight hanging out with Liz and Steph, helping to celebraate Steph’s birthday. There was a pirate theme, which was in full effect (Liz went to town, and really pulled out all the stops). I for one, got to pull out my own stash of pirate paraphenaelia, which I got as a surprise birthday gift,…
Well, while I was catsitting today, I got a call from Liz. Turns out, the cops did find her car, parked in an alley somewhere up north (4933 North Kostner). And from there, I set off on a series of phone calls and searches, trying to figure out how to track down Liz’s car, and…
About a week or so ago, Liz’s car was stolen. It just sort of happened out of the blue, and both of us took the news rather numbly. The car theft occurred at the tail end of a series of bad events. And we were both sort of like “wow, that sucks” and that’s about…
While Chris and Leslie are out of town for a wedding, I’m checking in on Fozzie (who is not a dog).
While Liz is away, I’m keeping an eye on her Vespa. Drove it in to work today, despite the 50% chance of rain (luckily, all the thunderstorms happened during the workday). The Vespa has had some problems lately (it wouldn’t start about 2 weeks ago, randomly). And after some finagling and a battery charge… it’s…
I’ve done a TON of updates tonight, getting caught up from the past week. So many, in fact, that I’m only going to post one photo and direct you to the start of all the updates: July 5th. Sorry for the bit of lag time. Hope you have fun getting caught up. :)
A few days ago, I mentioned how Chris and I were working on a game for work. Well, in addition to “Joystick Nation,” I wasn’t very familiar with any good books on games or game theory in general. Partly, I wanted to read what other people thought. Partly, I’m trying to prepare for an upcoming…
I dropped Liz off this morning at the Damen stop, so she could catch an early train out to O’Hare. She’s heading to Hawaii to visit with her sister, and is off on a week-long vacation. After her hectic few weeks (working one full-time job, two part-time jobs, and a class two times a week),…
