strange terrain

today a friend posted this story about a guy hiking and dying. tis a pretty unfortunate series of events. apparently he missed his path and got lost. then it got dark. then the weather turned on them. the dog survived, but dogs are usually good for that kind of thing.

in lighter news, ive been on one of those 'buy a lot of music' things that i do whenever amazon has a big sale. i think last year they got me for about 26 albums. no final count this time around just yet... anyways, today i was going to pick up the deluxe version of 'blue sky noise' because it has the acoustic version of 'get out.' well, it does...but it also doesnt. they decided to skip that on the digital release. dang. this is why piracy happens (sometimes).
