I just finished watching the "American Heartland" episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.

That is one nice thing about North Carolina. It gets hot here, but not as hot an humid as it does in the deep-south.

I know what you mean. It's especially fun when in the middle of cross country practice it goes from blistering hot to thunderstorms (our coach won't cancel practice unless there is a hurricane or something like that). What made me unhappy today was that our cross country team was trying to get people together to play ultimate-frisbee today but not enough people committed, so it got canceled.

Dirty Women - Black Sabbath

Right now I'm on a Sabbath kick, currently listening to N.I.B

Talk Dirty to Me - Poison

Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

I didn't realize it 'til you said it, but it's so true!!

Let There Be Rock - AC/DC

Awesome riff, awesome song. But then again, every riff and every song is awesome on Kill 'Em All. While we're on the subject: For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica

Celtic Frost Into The Crypts of Rays The song starts around 4:00

Into The Crypts of Rays - Celtic Frost

In My Room - The Beach Boys

I came across a similar dilemma when answering as well; choosing between No Quarter and The Rain Song was a tough one, but I ended up going with Rain Song

I purchased Death Magnetic by Metallica today. It's a good album but the production holds it back. The songs sound really good live though. Especially All Nightmare Long

Motorcycle Man - Saxon

Holy Wars...The Punishment Due - Megadeth

Black Diamond - Kiss

Rust In Peace...Polaris - Megadeth

Home Sweet Home - Motley Crue

found out I've been driving with an expired license for 6 months, and I have to go to the DMV tomorrow.

Nice!! Today I found a nifty book called "Red November: Inside the Secret U.S.-Soviet Submarine War"

Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy

Evil by Mercyful Fate
