So i’m just chillin back at Sputnik Sound here in Berry Hill of Nashville, TN.

Last night I met up with some people at Fido that I initially met through Couch Surfing. If you haven’t heard of couch surfing and you travel alot, or would like to, then you should check it out at www.couchsurfing.com.

Anyways, we met a Fido, had some coffee, and played Telephone Pictionary. (it’s the game where you start by writing a phrase and pass the paper onto the next person who draws a picture to represent the phrase. You pass it again and the next person tries to figure out the phrase. Depending on how many people you have this process repeats until it gets back to the originator). Then we went to the Belcourt just to see what movies were playing, but played too much pictionary to catch the one that was playing last night, so . . .we decided to walk.

It started raining, but that didn’t stop us. I ended up talking to Irina, she’s a student at Lipscomb and is originally from Russia. Well, she’s only here with a student Visa. When I said that my family came from Estonia she got really excited, and told me that she knew I looked Finnish or something. As it turns out, the language of her part of Russia is closely related with Estonian and we decided that in some way we are ancient relatives (from my grandpa’s side, since apparently my grandma’s ancestors though Estonian actually migrated from Scotland). We had a really interesting conversation about world view and religion, and we all got totally soaked in the rain.

Last night I stayed with my friends who live just south of Sputnik. You should check out their band Lorien. Their new record “Esque” comes out on the 28th, and it’s phenomenal!

Today I’ve just been hangin out here at Sputnik with Mitch, Josh, and Andy, which brings me to my original purpose for posting. Josh just showed me this video he made before he grew his enormous Vance-like beard (which is suiting since his middle name is actually Vance). Anyways, check it out. It’s a monster movie about The Attack of the Fatty Corpuscle. Warning this video is not for the weak stomached.
