Spitball Army

Where do the days go? Work, work, work, work and work, and soon two to three months have passed and you realize that you haven’t posted a thing on your blog…but change that “you” to “I” and here we are.

I found myself stuck behind the desk at home paying bills on my first day off in a long while, and let the iTunes take a musical holiday, jumping all over the map on a random spree – not that different from what I usually listen to, but enjoyably unpredictable, nonetheless. Here is a bit of what I heard.
