-The part of the new Andrew Bird album where he goes "holdonjustaseconddon'ttellmethisoneyouknow i know this one i know this song i know this one i love this song.." That's in "Anonanimal" for those of you keeping track.
-Being in Texas in the winter.
-The first 19 seconds of "Creator" by Santogold. This is an old favorite but I heard it again the other day and remembered how much I loves it. (You should hear me try to sing along with it.)
-Sally Hawkins. I haven't seen Happy-Go-Lucky yet but I loved her as Anne Elliot in Persuasion and her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was adorable. What a doll.
-Belgian liege waffles. Although I had to leave them behind in Belgium. But I dream of them still. Plan is to find a recipe so I can reproduce in my own kitchen.
-My new white Jack Purcells. But I seriously need to go kick some dirt around with 'em or something. They are TOO bright.
-The return of Friday Night Lights tonight. Yippee skippee! Is it wrong I sorta want to marry Coach Taylor? I mean, I know he's fictional and all..
I had to get out of my apartment today because they're re-doing the roof of my building. All this is still part of the recovery from that giant thunderstorm in May that blew over one of the chimneys and, oh yeah, blew out my living room window sending rain, hail, and shards of glass all over nearly every square foot of my 588 square foot apartment.
Oh football, how I love thee. You've got to allow me some blog space to make a fuss. First of all, due to an extremely early morning on Saturday, I passed out in the afternoon and slept through nearly all of the Vandy-Auburn game. Thank goodness I caught the end. "And the nerds shall inherit the turf." I just love it when the underdogs win.
Also, everyone is getting into such a lather over the Texas-OU game this coming weekend. Me too I suppose. But geeze, I was like, can we finish going over this weekend's games before you guys go cuckoo over next weekend's? And really, have either of these teams played a worthy opponent so far this season? Do they deserve those rankings? I guess we're about to find out. PS, who is the hottest QB?
OU's Sam Bradford
or UT's Colt McCoy?
The correct answer is neither. Really it comes down to these two:
USC's Mark Sanchez
or Florida's Tim Tebow?
Yeah, Tim's got the advantage of loads of cute kids piled on and around him in this photo. How sweet. But he needs the assistance since he's up against Sanchez who is knock-down hot. Please bear in mind I'm not a fan of either team. This is based on cuteness factor only. Please register your votes below.
Did I miss anyone? Make your opinion known. Chase Daniel was ruled out because his neck is just a little too thick.
On an unrelated, yet probably more interesting note, is it wrong that these little hair feather doodads are becoming less appealing to me because Kenley from Project Runway wears them all the time? Because, you know, she tends to come across as really obnoxious.
And one last thing. I know Ike is in the rearview for most of us, but I just recently came across this clip on YouTube. Gotta love those folks who are like, "Hey, there are going to be loads of camera crews on the beach. This is the perfect time to debut my new bear suit!"
All our love to ya Galveston. You're a special, special place.
Back in town after crazy traveling all last week. Kitty was cranky when I returned, plants were shriveled, and I was exhausted. And of course lots of catching up at work. I'm afraid this'll be it for a few more days. Make it last!
