I recently finished both Ian McEwan's Saturday, and Steven Johnson's Mind Wide Open, and, curiously, both books include the same quote from Darwin: "There is grandeur in this view of life." It's very applicable in the books, but I thought it was cool I was reading both at the same time. *moment of harmonic cosmic alignment*

*end moment*

I got the Music Issue of Believer Magazine today, just for the CD. Ok, just for the Spoon song. But it's a sweet CD, with 17 artists doing covers of other artists. The Spoon song isn't fantastic, but I'm enjoying the others so far, especially the blues-y ones.
