my day thus far: woke up at 1pm, hung out with charles and tommy a little bit, then when they inevitably started playing video games, i retreated to the bedroom to watch, oh, five hours of my alias season 2 dvd. soon it's off to trudge through the snow to the nunnery for kriston's 25th birthday! hopefully i can take some incriminating photos there.

colin meloy of the decemberists on his solo tour at iota last night.

cute, innit he? the show was good - a mix of stuff from "castaways and cutouts," "her majesty the decemberists," a couple of new songs from the forthcoming album (out in march) and a couple of morrissey covers. he's also an excellent storyteller, turns out. i guess i could have gathered that much from his lyrics. i'll write a review for DCist next week.
