A recently-discovered photo of my sis and her brood waiting for me to drop out of the sky last november...

(insert context here)

p.s. how inspiring!! i have a sinking feeling that i am about to decide to do something stupid... i'm feeling itchy for adventure again... anyone have any suggestions? (besides dating)

p.p.s. my new favorite song: Lay Me Down by Ashley MacIsaac. Do you think the lyrics were meant for someone? Or are sentiments like that just sappy bullshit? Or does it simply depend on how hopeful one is when listening? Hm. Oh well, it's a good tune, anyway.

Frustration!!

.
Do you ever hear a song - or part of a song - and it suddenly needs to be on your iPod? I was listening to NPR today whilst cleaning out my overstuffed and understylish wardrobe (can you say "uber-procrastination"?) and heard a snippet that's become a source of frustration.

This American Life... Episode 188: "Kid Logic". The song in Act two: The Game Ain't Over til the Fatso Man Sings by Howie Chackowicz - 19 minutes into the broadcast... electronica-poppy-type music (not the 70's cheese in the rest of the piece)... great chord progressions...

And I can't find it anywhere!!!!

I did, in my vain search, find two other songs that I now have blasting into my eardrums (Dub Latina by Calexico, and Flake by Jack Johnson).... but alas, this one has alluded me so far...

(crying)

But meanwhile, I found out that The Electric Company is now available in podcasts! (Did you know that Morgan Freeman was in that?) Ahhh, I love flashbacks into my uber-geek childhood... Warm fuzzies!

Soundtrack to Life!

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
