it's spring, people!!!

After so many months of dreary weather and dreary skies, we finally have a sunny, warmish day on our hands.  I would like to thank this bush, for making my morning a little brighter. 

And, I'd like to point out that this counts as updating my blog, since Carrie pointed out that I've been remiss.  Thanks, Carrie.  I'll try to be more diligent.

Completely rational conversation, overheard this morning:

A:  I'd like to see that new Sunshine movie this weekend
B:  Okay, is it playing anywhere nearby?
A:  I'm not sure, we'll have to check
B:  (checking on iPhone)  click.  click click.
A:  I wish you wouldn't use that thing all the time
B:  You use yours all the time, what are you talking about?
A:  We used to talk
B:  OH MY GOD.  Are you serious?
A:  ♪♫  You don't bring me flowers...  ♫♪
B:  You are a crazy person
A:  Fine.  I am not talking to you then
B:  You're just mad that you didn't bring your phone
A:  Well, yeah...  (sniff)

Growing up on Facebook

Interesting article on what happens when you recap your life for your family and friends, and how that idea of staying connected may mean something completely different for younger generations.

Radio Lab

Podcast Alert:

Radio Lab

It's the best science show I've heard, and they take normal questions, like 'Why do we sleep?' and answers them in very interesting and well-written ways.  It's available on iTunes and they even have an archive on this site.  Check it out, find a topic that interests you, and tell me what you think.

:) Enjoy

An ode to meatloaf

Oh, lunchtime meatloaf
even better left-over
your crust is divine

a way to make an all crust
meatloaf - ideas?

I never wanted to be a parrot head more

Happy, tanned and wearing a Margaritaville mask.
Looks like a great time, guys.  :)

Don't say 'irregardless' around me

irregardless
It's inefficient, and it sounds like an unresolved chord -- all twangy and just wrong.

grace in small things - 2

7.   The sun is shining today and the sky looks like a periwinkle crayon.
8.   I'm getting together with friends from grade school this saturday for dinner.
9.   I have eighty-nine podcasts on my phone waiting for me.
10. I ate breadsticks for breakfast.
11. I found a huge chunk of music I don't know yet, by artists I love.
12. I remembered my gloves today.

This American Life

I listen to a lot of TAL, and I'm not sure if you've all had the pleasure... 

this american life - episode 361

This episode is about sleep, and the lack thereof.  Act one is about a man whose body's lack of dopamine caused him to sleepwalk, and act out his dreams.  Fascinating.

1980 Paul Simon article 

For my mom, who's stuck at the airport/renting a car/not on a beach while she starts her vacation.
Here's hoping that tomorrow brings you the sunrise and a good book.
