Judging from my iTunes statistics, I appear to be obsessed with Rilo Kiley's "Under the Blacklight." iTunes is not lying, although it does claim that I am somewhat more obsessed with the song "Close Call" than any of the others. iTunes, I hope you can keep a secret, because I think you might know too much about me.

However, iTunes does not know that I have just betrayed it by listening to a song off Chris Walla's forthcoming solo album about five times via Rolling Stone, beyond the reach of its compulsive counting.

It also doesn't know that I shirked my duty to rake the yard today, that I am up past my bedtime, or that this evening I made white bean soup, roasted butternut squash, biscuits and sauteed chanterelle mushrooms without wrecking any of them. It's a good thing, too, because otherwise my dinner would have been chocolate chips and hummus, and I'm not really sure where that falls on the food pyramid.
