Long time, no blog at eastowners

Yes, yes… I know I’ve been deliquent in my blogging efforts of
late. Those of you who know me, know that I’m mostly busy, with a
lot of lazy. This being Memorial Day weekend, I have a bit of
time between shopping and World of Warcraft to write a bit of
prose. To be honest with you, however, only one thing inspired my
excursion into writing something non-meaniful on a website that no one
reads; Stevie Wonder has a new album due in June and I heard the new
single last night.

Click here to listen!

The track is called “So What the Fuss”. The album is due in
stores June 21st (some sites say the 14th, but Amazon lists it as the
21st) and yes, ladies and gentlemen, I will be buying it on release
day. Apparently, it was supposed to be out already, but for
whatever reason, was pushed back. Anyway… that’s it.
Great excitement here in this little blog tonight.

Oh, and Al Green has a new album out. I bought it tonight and
haven’t had a chance to listen to it. I’ll update more after I
give it a couple of sessions. In the “music I’ve been listening
to a lot” category, I highly recommend Jack Johnson’s ‘In Between
Dreams’, Common’s ‘Be’, and Beck’s ‘Guero’.

In movies, we recently went to see Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,
which is highly recommended… a wierd, fun movie adapted from a weird,
fun book. This afternoon, we took Clare to see Madagascar, which
gets a nod of approval from both toddler and parents. A few weeks
ago, we took her to see Robots in IMAX, which was really cool. We
had already seen it in the normal theatre, but in IMAX it’s just so
much BIGGER. We’re -very- interested in the upcoming Tim
Burton/Johnny Depp creation, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which
is looking more and more interesting with every preview we see.
Burton has another film out this fall called Corpse Bride, stop-motion
animation ala Nightmare Before Christmas, also with Depp, which seems
most interesting.
