pizza with matt

we had pizza with matt [just the other night...]
it was fun, we ordered woodstock’s pizza and watched “live aid ‘85″ on vhs.
we laughed at the 80’s styles and rockers and at kevin and chris trying to figure out the vcr.
we pretty much laughed at everything. everything except the elephant in the room.
no one mentioned the elephant.

current favorite song: Milk

my introduction to kings of leon was when kim and i went to see u2 with matt and kevin at the pond in anaheim.
kings of leon opened for u2 and i hated them. i mean, c’mon i was there for u2, not some no-name band!
anyway, i recently picked up their “Aha Shake Heartbreak” album and it is growing on me.

i really like “milk” his voice is awesome!

current favorite song: How To Disappear Completely

i’m in a radiohead groove these days. :)

matt steele introduced me to their music..
this is the first song from a cd he made for me of his radiohead favs.

take a listen, it is beautiful, and like many radiohead songs, it just keeps getting better right up until the end.

the power of vim - small victories

i needed to add some text to the end of some lines scattered throughout a large file today and figured out how to do it with one little command in the vi editor :)
This will find all lines containing pattern and then append -new to the end of each:

  :%s/\(.*pattern.*\)/\1-new/g 

interestingly, my vim tips page is the second most popular destination on my site with 9.63% of all traffic…
the most popular page (at 12.6%) is my PHP Slideshow page with my photo blog in distant 4th place at only 2.53% of the visitors to zinkwazi.com.

no front teeth…

in my defense, her teeth were already quite loose before this afternoon’s wrestling “incident”
i knocked one tooth right out and the other hung on by a thread for a few dramatic minutes.
ice cream seemed to gloss the whole thing over though :)
here are photos; viewer discretion advised…
[update]
the tooth fairy stopped by last night :)

current favorite song: videotape

drums and piano mixed with a mesmerizing beat make radiohead’s “videotape” track a little slice of heaven!

heaven.

current favorite song: pelle in exile

oh man, this song is rocking the little world inside the cab of my truck right now!
if, like me, you are a south african wondering around some antipodean society, this song will become your anthem!
the lyrics are epic and clever and the music is beautiful.
love it!

The song is “pelle in exile” from Herman van den Berg’s “Proe die aarde” album, enjoy!
