I got the new Cake album from the iTunes Store when it came out a couple weeks ago. There’s something strange about those guys that I just can’t get enough of. I’ve never really appreciated a Cake album on first listening. But the music grows on you. Pretty soon, you’re humming it in the car, or reciting the bizarre lyrics in an immitation of the magical talk-singing you remember from the album.

I wasn’t always a Cake fan. I actually didn’t like them until a friend of mine got really into “Fashon Nugget” and had it on all the time. The new album had a similar effect. I was a bit disappointed the first time I listened. But I decided to give it another shot considering the history I have with Cake. I love this new album. There are so many tracks just have that special something that is Cake.

Oh yeah- I’m still at work. Its nearing 2am here. Its not uncommon for Benny and myself to be burning the midnight oil. The wee hours are often the most inspiring for me. Studies have shown that if you can fight past the initail tiredness, you will have a few hours of clarity before you get really freaking tired. I don’t know if that’s true. It could just be that I’m concentrating harder because I want to get shit done so I can go home.

The battery died on my mouse. I forgot to set it on its charger over the weekend. The battery was low when I came in today, so I’m impressed that it even lasted the 12 hours I’ve been using it. I have one of those Logitech bluetooth mice. It was by far the most I ever spent on a mouse, but it’s worth it. Its comfortable and accurate. Its also a bit heavier than the average mouse, which gives it a really nice feel. Im thinking of stuffing a weight in my Microsoft Blue wireless mouse at home just to emulate the feel.
