Wow. It’s been forever since I last posted here. It’s been a long, hard winter, baby. Dark. Cold. Boring. I don’t remember having such a lackluster winter in a long time. But spring is springing. Clocks have been set ahead an hour. The temperatures were downright balmy over the last two weeks. Slowly taciturn, little Vermonters are creeping out of their dens, exposing their pasty white skin to the daylight. Things are looking up. One thing that’s been making a huge difference for me is that I’ve started seeking out and downloading new music again. Familiar music makes me feel braindead and depressed. When I listen to new music I can feel my brain expanding and growing new cells. New music works to elevate my mood and makes me feel smarter. Odd? I don’t know. But it really works for me. Have started my own music station on Blip FM. Am loving it. Check it out here. So many great new songs. Le Corps Mince de Françoise (pictured left) is one of the bands I’ve been listening to. They hail from Helsinki in Finland and have a clean, off-beat sound like orange snow.

Stumbled upon this blog unexpectedly when I was searching for a photo of Colin Firth in “A Single Man” (which is a frickin beautiful movie, by the way). “Heck Yeah Nerdy Men” may not have the sharpest graphics, but what a fun idea for a blog. I’ve only surfed through a few of its pages and don’t necessarily agree with all the author’s (Kristin’s) choices (Steve Carell is annoying, not sexy. And where is Jason Schwartzman and Jon Stewart?..) but by and large I’m a fan and am in full agreement with Kristin regarding Jim Parsons, John Krasinski, Jason Segel, Zachary Quinto, Lee Pace, Joel McHale, etc… I’m adding a new nerd to the mix… French actor Gaspard Ulliel.
