last night, while having dinner at federal, we noticed a "no wax dj" contest in progress. actually, no one was really participating but it was a great idea nonetheless.
the premise: program your ipod with 15 minutes of knock-out material, sign up for a time slot, then hope your set is the one that impresses bar patrons the most. we noticed that the sign-up sheet only had one name on it, so i'm guessing that this was perhaps the first attempt at the event. maybe with more publicity it will catch on.

i realize that my ipod isn't really conscious of its surroundings, but it did exhibit a certain awareness this morning. i left the house, dashed to the car through the rain, and when i hit the road pressed "shuffle songs" and heard two "rain" songs:
randy newman - "i think it's going to rain today"
the orb - "outlands" (which is more about boyfriends than precipitation, but the song starts with the sounds of a thunderstorm).

today is first day i haven't worn a coat. it felt weird to step outside without that extra layer of heaviness.

i've blogged before about ray's morning love notes. it's one of the reasons why he is the best boyfriend in the world; i'll wake up to find a piece of scrap paper with a quickly scrawled message left for me on the kitchen counter, or on my bathroom sink, or some other obvious loaction that my bleary eyes couldn't possibly overlook.
this morning i found perhaps the most creative "note" ever:
Awwww. So sweet!
Now I have to go listen to "I Think It's Going To Rain Today." Awesome song.
