I just bought the new 30 Seconds to Mars album, and I love it so far, though I'm still listening to it now, so I haven't heard it all. Some music has to sink in; some music I like right away, but it doesn't last; some music I like right away, but there is still something there to sink in over time, so that I'm always discovering something new. 30 Seconds to Mars music is like that, I think.
Edited to add: I bought the new 30 Seconds to Mars album on iTunes, but I just noticed that Amazon has it as one of their $3.99 specials. These specials usually only last a day or two, so if you're interested, get right over there. You don't get the bonus tracks, but they are sort of novelties anyway--alternate versions of songs already on the album. I sort of wish I'd seen this before I paid full price at iTunes. *sigh*
Amazon also has the new Switchfoot album, Hello Hurricane, for $5.00, Night Castle by Trans-Siberian Orchestra for $7.99, and The 99 Most Essential Christmas Masterpieces or $5.00.
Today is my husband's 50th birthday. His birthday is today, my daughter's is Friday, and mine is next week. Now that we are old, we usually celebrate all the birthdays together. We started this when my daughter was at college, because she was usually not home for her birthday, but was home sometime within the next week for Christmas vacation. This year she's at home, but my son is away at college, so we'll wait to celebrate until he gets here.
Even so, I want to do something for my husband today, because it's his 50th and that's a huge milestone. Perhaps I'll bake some cupcakes or make/get him something for dinner. I have a bunch of errands to do tomorrow, though. Perhaps I should bake cupcakes before I go to bed, but if I do that, he'll see them before he goes to work.
David Cook performed Lie on a Carrie Underwood Christmas Special tonight and...wow!
