New tunes

Here you go, Karen...

"I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up.


If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe."
 
 


And, I must agree that this song is amazing, and his voice is one of my new faves.

Oh, and for Carrie, and all others keeping score, yep...  I totally stole these songs from dooce.  :)  Sue me.

I love carrying a camera everywhere

The sad day has arrived

I have been reading dooce since about July, and now my reading is over.  I have read it all.  From front to back, soup to nuts, cover to cover, LA to Utah.  I can't think of any more beggining - to - end metaphors, so that'll have to do.  I feel like my favorite show has been cancelled.

So, this is a short little tribute to Heather, Jon, Leta, Chuck and Coco.

the artist that i will now stalk

My fave song and my fave singers.

Serious chills listening to this

A typical morning

'We should straighten up a bit around here tonight'
'Okay...  What do you mean, 'straighten up'?'
(..blink.  Blink, blink...)

(calmly continues:)
'Well, we should take out the trash, and empty the recyclables, and clean the bathroom...  it's gotten kind of cluttered in here.  (Blink)'

'I hadn't really noticed'

woah - acrobats can do this?

I want to own this shirt

Threadless t-shirts

even better...  the one that says:
I LISTEN TO BANDS
THAT DON'T EVEN EXIST YET

The interwebs has such great shit

I found this today, and he will be most of what i listen to for a while...  :)

I am on song 2, and am already hooked. 

Happy Birthday to ME

I have proven many times before that I am a perpetual child, and that is never truer than on my birthday.  I feel like I should eat ice cream all day and then drink tequila all night.  (wait, that's not childish...  whatever...)

I am getting very little done today, since I stop every few minutes to tell anyone who will listen that ...

it's mah BIRTHDAY!

A trip to the vet, or why not to give your cat anxiety meds

Phoebe and I went to the animal clinic after work last night, and everyone marvelled at what a beautiful specimen of feline wonder she is.  They all knew her breed, could name the one time (if that) they've seen one before, asked where I got her.  (Me?  I get my cats from my parents' deck, y'all!)  She tried to squirrel her way out of everyone's hands, including mine.  The vet decided it was probably a UTI like Muffin, and also gave me some pills to help her relax.  (Perhaps the UTI was caused by stress.)  So, we come home, i give her the antibiotic and the anxiety pill, and we go to volleyball.  When I came home, she was calmer than normal, but not acting odd.  I sat on the couch with the cats who now, miraculously, get along, and I watched a movie.  Karen came home, and Phoebe switched to acid mode, and walked around the condo stoned all night.  We were worried about her, and put her in the bathroom for the evening so she wouldn't stumble out of the loft by mistake in her drunken stupor. 

By today, she's better, and we won't give her that med again.  We may keep it to take ourselves during a crazy party weekend at the lake.  Just kidding mom.  :)

Oh boy, how I need this

An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon.

No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm.
This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast.
Unless you're Jewish.

Wake 'n Bacon

(old) new tune

I am such a sap

I had heard about this clip ages ago, but hadn't seen it till today.  And, yep.  Cried like a baby.
