saturday’s valentines date turned out pretty cute. we made each other t-shirts over at fresh pressed, which was pretty cool (and were told by the owner that the lady ahead of us who’d brought two young boys with her was in fact a rock singer whose name may rhyme with Phiz Lair… we thought she looked familiar…). i have to grab the pictures from jessica’s camera so you can see our handywork. then we had a sweet little dinner at the charming la dolce vita. that was good solid too. sunday we did nothing and monday we had a barbeque with beer pong and rock band and superbad

the rest of the week has been pretty slow though. jessica was gone for a night and i realized quickly that it’s just a bit weird now being home alone for a whole night. a little too still, a little too quiet once i turn off the tv. april is going to suck, because she’ll be gone a lot more. maybe i can rent a puppy?

still meaning to go out and pick up copies of february’s hit albums from the ‘goats and the ‘chips, but until then a substitute pay day song to get you looking forward to march… when we’ll be blessed with some new music from we are scientists. stumbled on this first single last week and it’s getting a fair shake on the ipod, so i thought i’d let you join in the short wait to the full album. after hours may be a bit less kinetic than some of the hits off the last album, but i still think they’re all over the basic power-pop framework. fingers crossed the rest turns out this catchy.

(you can also check out their entertaining video here; i really appreciate their injection of an improv-comedy sensibility into their promos and other filmed projects. you can tell they’re just some dudes having a good time.)
