Four Tet - "Three Drums"

"Three Drums" is the perfect segue from Four Tet's recent Coachella headlining set with Skrillex and Fred Again.. A loping trip-hop beat is enveloped by washes of synths and strings, and in its breathtaking 8 minutes will soothe your soul.

Sexy man.

Grrrr.

Beautiful stomach.

Damn.

Nice and fit.

Yum.

Nothing to complain about here.

Or there.

A little lower next time.

Beef!

Something very sexy about a man in a white shirt and tie.

Lovely beard.

Woof.

Daddy!

Amazing body.

Sexy fur.

SBJ.

Adorable.

Gorgeous.

Wow.

Very hot.

I want to bury my face in that fur.

Grrrrr.

Solid.

Damn hot.

Anyone can call themselves a photographer or a DJ, however, both are an art form and not just anyone can call themselves an artist.

I really don't like it when people I don't know invade my personal space.

Seriously, where is my damn red panda!

The new album from Dutch Uncles is growing on me, however, you can tell they were listening to the Arcadia album an awful lot.

The people we left Europe to get away from are now here.

Note to self, don't rub eyes after putting Purell on your hands.

My thoughts exactly.

A day on Venus lasts longer than a year on Venus.

My Coachella envy is at maximum impact.

On Easter Sunday I managed to ask two separate people about their other halves and discovered that their relationships were not doing well. That created some awkward silences.

I find it funny that whenever I tell someone I am a lawyer most people assume I am super rich or something.

I didn't think I liked my latest haircut, but this morning I am starting to like it better.

LOL.  I love the look on the cat's face in the next to last frame.

The other day I almost said some words I thought I would never utter, that a man was too hairy. Thankfully, I stopped myself.

It would be nice if there was at least a month where there were no professional or college sporting events.

I hate when one project ends and I have to do the mad scramble to find something else. Thankfully, it appears I won't have too big a gap between my next project.

I am really looking forward to Provincetown this summer.

Did Van Halen really need to get back together again?

This makes me feel old.

It is dangerous being within walking distance of both Dairy Queen and Zaxby's.

Either I am getting Alzheimer's or I am just getting older, but I can't remember anyone's damn name anymore.

Is it just me, or is chunky Chris Pratt hotter than buff Chris Pratt?

I have been practicing E-Discovery law for over 7 years now and it never ceases to amaze me how many people think they know how to do my job because it is just "document review." To my satisfaction, it always comes back to bite them in the ass, and after I clean up their unholy mess of things, they never make the same mistake again.

So cute.

Why yes, I do give a fuck about an Oxford comma.

I don't understand the appeal of guns.

If you have horrible music taste, there is absolutely no way I could date you (if I was single that is).

A partner on my floor practically races down the hallway at top speed no matter if he is actually in a hurry or not. Watching him exhausts me.

Christians need to stop hiding behind their "faith" as an excuse for discrimination. Just own up to being a bigot.

In this new job, I have definitely figured out that when things are going smoothly, a speed bump is always coming up.

Your cute for the day.

Lyrics Rattling Around My Brain

"You said we should look out further
I guess it wouldn't hurt us
We don’t have to be around all these coffee shops

Now we've got that percolator
Never made a latte greater.
I’m saving 23 dollars a week

We drive to a house in Preston
We see police arresting
A man with his hand in a bag.

Hows that for first impressions
This place seems depressing
It’s a Californian bungalow in a cul-de-sac

Its got a lovely garden
A garage for two cars to park in
Or a lot of room for storage if you've just got one

And its going pretty cheap you say
Well it’s a deceased estate
Aren't the pressed metal ceilings great?

Then I see the handrail in the shower
A collection of those canisters for coffee tea and flour
And a photo of a young man in a van in Vietnam

And I cant think of floorboards anymore
Whether the front room faces south or north
And I wonder what she bought it for

If you've got a
Spare half a million

You could knock it down
And start rebuilding

If you've got a
Spare half a million

You could knock it down
And start rebuilding

If you've got a
Spare half a million

You could knock it down
And start rebuilding

If you've got a
Spare half a million

You could knock it down
And start rebuilding."

"Everybody makes mistakes
But I feel alright when I come undone
You are not making me wait
But it seems alright as long as something's happening
I try to make you late
But you fighting me off like a fire does
You try making me wait
But it feels alright as long as something's happening

Get your payments from the nation
For your trials and tribulations

You try to make me wait
You come around when it's come undone
Everybody makes you late
And it's never you because you're always thinking
I try making you wait
And give you me some like you give it good
Everybody makes mistakes
But it seems it's mine that always keep on stinging

Get your payments from the nation
For your trials and tribulations
Get your payments from the nation
For your trials and tribulations

You try making me wait
But you come undone when you come undone
Everybody makes mistakes
But it's always mine that seem to keep on sticking

Get your payments from the nation
For your trials and tribulations."

Appealing Things

Cheap Uber rides
Spring days in Atlanta
Getting back into the show Revenge
Stuffed bell peppers
Hanging with friends on Easter Sunday

Annoying Things

Pollen
People who overly pronounce foreign words when they come up in everyday English conversation
Being given an unreasonable deadline
People who are not "ready"

Non-Sequiturs

Wet daddy.

Nice chest.

Nice everything.

More chest.

Must be a chest day.

Wouldn't mind waking up to that.

Bull daddy.

Cute smile.

Furry belly.

Yum.

Nice lean frame.

Bear belly.

Woof.

Kissing daddies.

Grrrr.

Wet and wonderful.

Beefy.

Hey there blue eyes.

Lovely beard and fur.

Nice legs.

Nice belly.

UNF.

What is up with all the Interpol backlash lately?

I find it funny when people say things like "Oh, I hate 'x city' because everyone there is rude and unfriendly." A city itself cannot define its citizens, you met some rude people that just so happen to live there. There are rude people everywhere.

The movie Moulin Rouge is a two hour migraine to me.

I will admit I never got into Sleater-Kinney.

Perfect.

Growing up, I always wanted a Suburu Brat.

Line from Birdman which cracks me up: "Popular is just the slutty little cousin of prestige."

I just don't understand when sports fans riot; you're a fan, not on the team, you have no personal stake in this.

On the season premiere of Looking, one of the characters mentioned that this guy had a "house in Virginia" which is slang apparently for having HIV. One, I had never heard that expression before and, two, who has to resort to slang or something secretive to discuss someone's HIV status?

Togetherness, the new show on HBO, is rather horrible.

Also, the season premiere of Girls felt very off.

Good question.

Sometimes nothing is better than just a bowl of plain vanilla ice cream.

Karl the Fog has decided to have another vacation in Atlanta. Go home Karl!

I miss the sun.  We haven't seen it all week.

If you tell me you don't want to see a certain kind of pic on my Tumblr feed, I am definitely going to put more of such pics up there.

Exactly.

Bjork's new record Vulnicura comes out in March and I couldn't be happier.

The Shaky Knees Festival here in Atlanta has a lineup that is much stronger than Coachella or Bonnaroo.

Why do I always have deepest and best sleep 10 minutes before the alarm goes off?

I love how the new session of the Georgia Assembly opens up with an anti-gay prayer.  Way to stay in the past Georgia.

Your cute for the day.

Lyrics Rattling Around My Brain

"She wakes up on her own
And opens her eyes
The sun tries to burn through the pain
She still feels inside

I've seen you fall apart
I know you wouldn't care
But I wish you were mine

She looks into his face
Just to be near him
And the clouds come round again
Nothings changed

I saw you for a lifetime
I know I shouldn't care
But I wish you were mine
And the rain keeps on falling
In my heart."

Slowdive

"I've had good times
With some bad guys
I've told whole lies
With a half smile
Held your bare bones
With my clothes on
I've thrown rocks
Then hid both my arms

I don't know what good it serves
Pouring my purse in the dirt

But I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more
I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more

I've played dumb
When I knew better
Tried too hard
Just to be clever
I know honest thieves
I call family
I've seen America
With no clothes on

But I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more

I don't know what I deserve
But for you I could work

'Cause I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more."

Annoying Things

Know-it-alls
Lorde and Trent Reznor being snubbed by the Oscars
No sun
Too much to do at work, and not enough time to do it
Working on a collective project and then having nothing you do on it appear in the finished form
