It surprises even me to realize that I have been pretty busy lately, new home, new job, new car, foster dog, new volunteer work... I have even fit in some crafty goodness. I painted some chairs and other furniture and made some buttons. I will post more on that later.
Anyway. I was in B&N earlier this week to pick up Season II of Friday Night Lights... thanks Jennifer... and decided I would also pick up a few cd's - I know antiquated form of music - and TV even, but whatever, I needed the new Ashlee Simpson CD.
Don't hold it against me if you haven't heard it; if you have and you still scoff, well go bug off I didn't ask for your opinion anyway.
I have this habit of buying CDs of artists I have never heard of (though thanks to my new zune it will cost me less), but on a hunch (read as: I liked the album art nd song titles) I bought a Kate Nash CD.
Frankly I love it.
With the poppy happy tunes and the harsh lyrics, you can be mad at someone and still smile. So if you are not familiar with her and you like a little sass in your music collection, then go find a way to get it....
I recommend getting yourself a Zune pass... and if you are on Zune... I am quornflour, you can add me to your social and see all of the other crazy stuff I listen to.

Audio: Share a song that makes you nostalgic.
Submitted by Alex.
Pretty much anything by Tom Waits makes me nostalgic, he is one of the only constants in my life.
Here's to you: John “OK” Shea, codeine, Nyquil and cranberry juice; John F, corn, cigars, Walker and Dead Alive; Smith Hall, beer, Todd Wher, wine and marijuana; Brock, Chicago, mushrooms and weddings; Jennifer, Michael, the Paramount and the Prigger House.
Awe you’ve gone and made me sad, damn you vox.
I should sew.
I used to live in a house with 5 roommates. Though there was some turnover I am still friends with a few of the folks I lived with back then. One of them JJ is having her first baby. I think this is actually the first baby from this particular group of friends.
With the invites her sister included a onsie for each of us to decorate. It was cool to see how different they each were, but appropriate to who JJ and her husband are. The above was mine.
(I have another friend that I stole the basic idea from – she made onsies for mutual friends’ baby.)
What are your resolutions for 2007?
This song I think realistically sums up new years resolutions:
perhaps I am cynical, but I prefer to look at myself as a realist.
Title: Here I Go Again
Band: Klover
Album: Feel Lucky Punk
Original Release Date: 1995
Status: out of print
Label: Polygram Records
Trivia: Mike Stone of Queensrÿche was in this band
In the car on the way to the zoo with my niece Alex (4), I was playing Ben Folds Rockin’ the Suburbs when the title song comes on:
Let me tell y'all what it's like,
Being male, middle-class and white.
It's a bitch, if you don't believe, listen up to my new CD.
I got shit running through my brain,
It's so intense that I can't explain.
“Ah, Aunt Felicity” pipes up Alex from the back seat.
I turn down the music, “yes”
“I don’t think this is kid music.”
“yeah, you are probably right.”
“do you even have any kid music?”
“I’m not sure… how about this?” - Weezer
“Ah, Aunt Felicity”
“yes”
“this isn’t kid music”
“ok, how about this one?” – Ned’s Atomic Dustbin
“no, I don’t think so”
“hmm, maybe…” Black Eyed Peas “oooor maybe not.”
“maybe you should get some kid music,” she suggested
Three non Disney books later (Pinkalicious, the Night Before Christmas and Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!) from the mall with no music store; a stop at Target which only had Disney music and the sort of kid music that makes "grown ups" hate kid music; we went to Best Buy knowing exactly what I was looking for, I snatched up They Might Be Giants: No!
As an added bonus the last three songs are said to "expedite slumber" which seemed to work:
“Alex, you awake back there?”
“No, I am asleep,” head flop back to sleep position.
If you hate kid music, but have reason to need it on occasion or have a kid in your life who has music that is killing their parents, get yourself (or them) a copy. Pronto.
