The morning after...

Why did I start this crazy blog? Now it's calling to me. You must write write write. I guess that just happens...seems like a boring read for anyone but me and even then, I am pretty bored.

The thing on these blogs where you can click a band or an interest or whatever and see the other folks who put that particular thing down is interesting. The one that struck me as the most crazy was the band, The Midnight Choir, (as I write this, I realize that there are probably many bands called that, but whatever, lets just assume that we mean the same one) the one other person who has them listed as a band is some guy in Norway. They are a defunct local band, with a very loyal, but tiny following. The singer left and the rest of the members created a band called The Bad Things, which is great music, but very different. Anyway, I thought it was weird and random that across the world, someone has them on his list of bands. That's the beauty of this internet. Is there blog protocol for reaching out to the folks that put things in their interests?

Seems very Napoleon Dynamite. "Hey, you know that band too? Cool."

But it makes me curious about him. Mr. Norway, if you read this, please feel free to say hi.

Sata Poka ha

I did it, I finally joined the blogging masses. I'm not sure what the purpose of this project will be. Do it to do it. I just wanted to do it. Alright? Gaaaaaaaaddd.... Get off my back!

We just bought a house. It's 104 years old. Seriously. This is my topic of choice these days.

Jon and I are going to Scotland next week. We're going for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival which is when hundreds of thousands of foreigners come to Edinburgh and all the Scottish leave to get the hell out of Dodge while the craziness is going on. There are about 4 major festivals in Scotland during August. We are crazy to be going. see:

We cannot believe it's finally here -- the house pretty much overshadowed everything else in our worlds for a few months. We have tickets to the Tiger Lillies (creepy, tripped out, falsetto singing, accordion playing dark, dark musical comedy group who brought you Shockheaded-Peter). see: www.tigerlillies.com
