When I have enough room for one of these little buddies to crawl around, I'm totally getting one!

This photo practically made me melt into my damn couch!

I've been saying for a couple of months now that I want a new look to go with the revitalization of my blog. As many of you may know, I have a really really really hard time designing for myself. Sooooo . . . rather than beat myself up over my own design, I found and tweaked a template I really like. I hope you dig!

How is it possible that a little bit of gusty wind kept two people up well into the 3:00 hour of the night?

More importantly, how is it possible that James Pee fell asleep about 20 mins ago and I am still wide awake?!

I saw this video and thought it was pretty cool, so I wanted to share it. Watching this video made me feel proud of the decisions I'm going to be making on Tuesday. Watching it also made me feel the weight of everything that's going on right now. Tuesday is a big important day - probably one of the bigger days our generation has ever seen . . . and I'm kinda glad to be a part of it.

I recently watched two movies that I can't believe I've spent this many years of my life without seeing! One was an awesome 80's classic while the other was an old black and white classic classic! If you haven't seen either of these flicks, I highly suggest you do - they are so choice!

Please please please please please say it ain't so!!!

This afternoon on my way to lunch I noticed that my XM Satellite radio (which is normally playing classic punk rock) was blaring AC/DC. I looked down nonchalantly expecting to see my dial set to the classic rock station rather than it's punk rock norm. Instead I see the words "AC/DC Radio!" on channel 53 where my punk rock "Fungus" should be.

Here's the story according to Punknews.org:

With the XM and Sirius merger in full swing, the first casualties of the partnership are starting to appear. First on the chopping block are the two punk rock satellite stations, Fungus 53 and Sirius Punk which are both being replaced with an 24 hour a day station dedicated to Australian hard rock act AC/DC. While the all-AC/DC station is slated to expire in January, there is no word on what will replace it going forward. Sirius' former punk page is directing listeners to their Extreme Sports station which will include punk, hip hop and metal.

Both stations provided a mixture of vintage and recent punk rock, with Sirius promising acts like "Sex Pistols, Ramones, Misfits, Black Flag, The Clash, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Suicidal Tendencies, Pennywise, Fugazi and many more" while Fungus 53 hosted shows DJ-ed by Rancid, Joe Sib's Complete Control Radio and others.

NOFX's Fat Mike even weighed in on the station, noting: "I hate the radio but I like Fungus/The only punk rock station, it's humongous." . . .

I have so so so many thoughts on this matter that I can't even begin to form them into full sentences. There is no other station out there that even comes close to matching what Fungus offered to punk rockers. It was a gem. The fact that they would take it away and replace it with AC/DC is absolutely laughable and disgusting.

Long live corporate rock, right? In the words of Fungus "fuck off and die"

P.S. Lou Brutus, please don't go away forever. I'm not quite sure what I'd do without my Skanorea on Thursdays. : (

I went and saw The Women tonight. Despite the critics' moanings, I thought it was really cute and charming! It held really true to the original and was pretty much a perfect chick flick.

Bette Midler delivers a really great line that I feel in love with. I'm having a hard time remembering it word for word, but it was something along the lines of: don't forget to ask yourself "what do I want?" because after you figure that out, everything else will just fall into place.

Totally great moment.

It wasn't, however, quite as fantastic as this gem from the original "He could crack a coconut with those knees . . . if he could just get them together!"

hehe! Good girly times! : )

In a matter of days our partial view will become even more partial.

I wonder if our landlord will lower our rent due to the devaluation of the property. (Bah - fat chance!)
