I went for a hike up Stone Mountain this morning confirming precisely how out of shape I actually am but it felt good to get outdoors. The name Stone Mountain immediately reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Matewan, John Sayles' saga of the coalminers struggling to form a union featuring the relatively unknown at the time Chris Cooper and a very young Will Oldham.
Anyway, there is a huge mural carved in the side of the mountain honoring the holy trinity of the Confederacy (Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson). Not sure how it plays locally with the large African-American community here but I had mixed feelings of it. Not for any political objections as I do enjoy the concept of historical monuments but I think the mountain would be more impressive looking without it.
We also found a good place for Pho in the middle of the numerous Korean establishments.
I am listening quite often to the latest album from The Polyphonic Spree and enjoying it very much despite or perhaps because of how much I hear a bit of Blondie in them. Check out the clip below:

What about Little Sorrel, Traveler or Lucy Long? Aren't they worthy of mention as well?
I loved Matewan. When do you get back into town?
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew
of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter
updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added"
checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the
same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thanks a lot!
