This guy Ben completely blew me away! It's amazing the things he can sense. We're left far far behind on the hearing skills.
Ben Underwood is blind but uses echolocation to "see".
thanks ericscotthasherpes

On my myspace, I've started sharing my personal favorite youtube-of-the-week. I've decided to move this on to this place as well. Here is this weeks:
Anti put one of Tom Waitses new video clips online. I'm thrilled! I love this new song so much.
thanks anti!
And as a bonus here is last weeks youtube of the week, It's Dutch Comedian Hans Teeuwen, live in concert. I saw him live this month, doing a 50's Frank Sinatra songs and the like filled jazz program and he makes me secretly melt in my panties in a way only Jim Carrey can outwin. Meow. Hotnessss. It was an awesome concert. You don't get to experience the old 50's nightclub vibe often but this was perfect, I'm a sucker for that style of music. Someone put a snippet of the concert online:
Hans Teeuwen- You make me feel so young (Live at panama)

That's all for now! New you-tube-of-the-week next week! I plan to update every Sunday.

Never before have I been so looking forward and thrilled about an album! Yesterday I finally got it! 
It came out earlier in Europe, hence me having it so early and because I preordered, I have chances of winning a huge canvas print of the cover (which is amazing!) and I got a 45 r.p.m. Vinyl single when I ordered!! Awesome awesome promotion stuff.
Amazon summed it up nicely:
" Amazon.co.uk Review
Some are calling it a Tom Waits career retrospective, but Orphans, the new triple CD opus from rock'n'roll's most enduring and enigmatic adventurer, is so much more. For a start it contains over 30 new songs – everything from versions of tracks previously given out to other artists, to music recorded in the garage with his kids and covers of everyone from The Ramones to Leadbelly. For another, it's split up into three separate CDs - Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards – and as such not only spans a huge selection of music but also presents it in a much more coherent way than usual. Where Brawlers focuses on Waits' grittier, upbeat side with a procession of roadhouse rock and diner blues, Bawlers profiles his way with a waltz and his love of ballads, highlighting his capacity for truly poignant songwriting. Bastards, meanwhile, is perhaps the most interesting set: a stream of experimental output that features covers, Bukowski poems, horror stories and gags. Ambitious and sprawling yet well selected and carefully executed, Orphans is so much more than the sum of its parts and a beautifully frank portrait of a true musical legend.--Paul Sullivan"
This is hands down my favorite album of the year.

My new housemate says hello! He's still a bit glum, adjusting to his new home, but the people from the aquarium store told me that he'll be happier tomorrow. I love him! Gleee!

I felt this page needed some more color, so I went ahead and changed the entire layout. I need some bright colors to get me through this winter, so here we go! I think this might be the girliest layout to date. It has pink in it! AAH! What's happening to me? I blame Mattel! I just had a job interview with them last week, and I hope I get the job. Anyway, hope you like it! And else tough luck! Hah!
