Metallica released their new song today.  It is their first new studio song in 5 years and it will also be the first video from their new album.  The video hasn’t been shown yet, but it should be on the music channels very soon.  If you’re a Metallica fan, you should be enjoying it as it is definitely in a new direction from their last album.  I can’t wait to hear the full album…  21 more days!  We watched a couple of semi recent movies today – 21, Stop-Loss, and The Bank Job.  All 3 of those are decent movies.  The American men’s beach volleyball took home the gold tonight.  Our track and field team seems to be having their problems but they are doing ok overall I guess.  This weekend will mark the end of the Olympics.  Next up, political party conventions.
