I'm just simply horrified by the shootings at Virgina Tech. What could you even say?

And if you didn't think we were screwed enough in Iraq already, Moktada al-Sadr has pulled six of his Shiite ministers from the Iraqi cabinet. Can you feel the ground giving way? Full collapse seems imminent.

Ornette Coleman won the Pulitzer Prize for music. I'm not sure what that means, but probably something about how jazz is the new classical, etc... It only seems about 50 years too late. I would probably give a Pulitzer to Ryan Adams, just to piss off the haters.

I saw Blonde Redhead at the Metro Saturday. It was nice, but not amazing. They pretty much played only new stuff, much slower and ethereal. Good for record, not for live. I really wanted to hear some stuff from "La Mia Vita Violenta" or "Fake Can Be Just as Good."

On a better note, I visited Wrigley Field for my first day game. Cubs are pretty pathetic as always, but the field and weather were beautiful. We managed to score tickets outside the stadium for a mere $10. In a strange occurence, a foul ball headed our way and all three of the people I was with, including me, touched it, but didn't manage to snag it. Next time.
