Fuckity FUCK. I just tried to post and upload a video. I got the following existential error message from Vox:
"Sadly, your search couldn’t be completed. You could try again, but it still might not work. The world is a very unpredictable place. For this, we are truly sorry."That sounds very, um, Protestant.
I'm taking an extended break in my 25 minutes-on 5 minutes-off schedule today to post an FSotD to prove that I have been writing today!
With the goatee grown in, David now looked like his own evil twin.
(I stole this from real life -- the same is true of Cappy when he has one.)
Okay, break over, back to it.
What’s on your “to-do” list to prepare for the holidays? How will you use technology to help you get everything done?

My transporter? Coming in VERY handy. And they said Star Trek technology was fantasy. Pshaw!
I love the OUTDOOR GIRLS series books by Laura Lee Hope.
I couldn't even begin to wish you love them as much as I do or for you to have even heard of them, but in case you do, &/or have - or don't but still love camping out or the "good old days" - these other Turn of the Century books might really interest you.I found two (non-fiction) books that might have been read by the girls and boys of Deepdale, had they (the boys and girls of Deepdale I mean...) been real:
On The Trail, An Outdoor Book for Girls
(1915) by Lina Beard & Adelia Belle Beard.and Camping for Boys
(1913) by William Henry Gibson. (Both also available on Google Books)If I can't live one hundred years ago - and I do wish I could, I can still wish my friends and I could take a month off and camp out like this:

It looks like a perfect day! Starting out at 50 degrees and sunny! November has turned out to be just lovely!
I'm off to physical therapy...can't wait til this is done. It's not difficult or painful or anything...just an hour three times a week that is rather inconvenient and intrusive. But, all for a good cause....Mobile Toes R Us!
I am having Mom, Dad, sis and three kids, brother and nephew, over tomorrow for Mom's birthday dinner.
So after PT it's to the grocery store. Then a quick clean up of the house. Hopefully I'll see sis and kids tonight...depends on how long it takes them to get here from Chicago!
Ok...time to get a move on! Y'all have a nice weekend!

Such a nice night for mid-November at the 400 Bar. Athletes in Slacks (myspace) warmed up the crowd with their laidback loungey harmonizing sound that only two keyboarders and a guitarist can produce. The band claims all their songs are about love, except later on their hour-long set, they introduced a song about hating two guys from New York. They did finish strong with a cover of INXS's "Never Tear Us Apart", and that's what really matter.
The first time I heard about Swedish band Little Dragon, was in January. Ceji was really into them. Since we generally like Swedish bands here, I did try and keep up with their whereabouts. As it turns out, they're in the middle of their tour through the US to promote their sophomore album, Machine Dreams. Although the band's been here already, they confessed last night that this was their first time in Minneapolis.
They didn't do Ceji's favorite "Recommendation" song, but I though hands-down their best song played was "After The Rain", complete with an amazing ending.
From what I heard from their live set, their new songs seems to drifts from the R&B and Jazz influence to more electro and beats. I think the combination works well for them, especially since I like their big beats/electronica sound.

I've been to a lot of shows lately, and I can tell you that this was one of the best shows yet. They're heading their way to the East Coast, so definitely check them out. If they're not heading through your city, you should check out Machine Dreams, out now on Peacefrog Records.
