Sorry, no Snippet Wednesday today. Just an announcement of which I'm very excited. Actually, there have been two announcements in as many days of which I'm excited. I'm starting with one today and announcing the other tomorrow after the people most directly involved have had a chance to notify everyone that they need to notify (it'll make sense tomorrow, I promise).

On Friday night, I finally got off my lazy butt and trimmed my beard and hair. Yes, I'm technically still a bald guy, I just don't Bic it all off on a regular basis. In fact, I decided months ago to just use hair clippers to trim down to next to nothing all the way around on my face (including my goatee) so I have a regular five o'clock shadow. Katie likes it, I like it. What more could I want, right?

In this day and age, there are so many things to be depressed about. The economy, politics in the United States, war, terrorism, poverty, drugs, hate... these are some of the more commonly referenced items.

I received a pretty cool e-mail this morning from my buddy, Eric (he's @tweetnutz on the Twit), with the subject line "We're in a Superchunk video!" Well, that's a helluva start to my morning!

Don't you hate it when you race somewhere because you're told you need to be there by a certain time only to get there... and wait? That's me right now. Of course, now that I'm utilizing my wait time by writing a blog post, I know the wait will be over and the person I'm waiting for will arrive. Probably mid-thought, too. Anyway, let's see how far I get through this Snippet Wednesday before that happens.

As I noted last week, today is a very good day for music fans. There is a metric asston of new music dropping and I, personally, am excited by about a metric halfasston of it.

Ten years...

I told y'all I would still (somehow) produce a Snippet Wednesday after yesterday's pseudo-Snippet Tuesday. And here I am! Sit back and enjoy.

I guess technically these could be snippets I could've held onto until tomorrow, but I'm not. And it seemed like so much fun to write these up as letters. Enjoy.

I've really been out of it in terms of Star Wars news of late. There was a time, about five to 10 years ago, that I was very involved in Star Wars forums "fighting the good fight," as it were, to bring the original versions of the first three Star Wars movies to DVD.
