So I saw Kill Bill vol. 2 last night. Highly entertaining, though I'm not sure if I like it as much as the first one. One thing I like just as much as the first one is the music. The RZA did another awesome job of producing the soundtrack, and his original works are great too. I especially like the last song in the closing credits, called "Black Mamba." It's a hidden track on the soundtrack (#16) but from what I've been reading online it sounds like the soundtrack version has lyrics, whereas the movie version was an instrumental.

Why do they do that? If I buy the soundtrack to the movie, I want to hear the music as it was in the movie. Also, none of the RZA's other original music is on the soundtrack. Gah! This is exactly the sort of crap that makes me just steal MP3s off the web rather than buying the CDs. Marketers: figure that one out.

I've moved the pictures of the house finch nest into their own gallery page. I'm trying to take pictures one or two a day until the new birds leave the nest. It's looking like there are just three of them. They are starting to grow feathers and their eyes are open!
