Lulz, LJ servers are ON FIRE RIGHT NOW.
I think half the internet using world is flocking to ONTD and commenting furiously. The internet could break in two from this news!
edit: is it bad that I'm laughing over the entire internet coming to a screeching halt? Even the news is reporting that the internet is coming to a glacial pace.

I was reminded today, off chance, of that old UNKLE song 'Rabbit in Your Headlights', which led me on a search for more UNKLE, which brought me to The Beach Soundtrack and this song:
which sent me down a looooong path of music.
Strange, remembering how these turns happened.
Also, when did Hulu.com start offering entire movies? Imagine my surprise when I stumbled on Sexy Beast, which is awesome if for nothing else then Ben Kingsley.

You know, I am realizing that I have a somewhat untapped resource for comfort here.
So, to all parents, tell me about your birthstory. In as much detail as you are comfortable with (I know that some of you will not have issue with this at all.)
You can do it here in comments (which will be screened) or email me, moose (at) winstonlf . com.

I should go beat up the person that took violalee. Who else could possibly want that name? I even managed to get it on myspace and twitter.

OH NOES! I just realized that by letting the angsty 18 yr old play his crappy emo music has totally ruined my last.fm! NOW IT SHOWS THAT I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO 'AS SUMMER DIES' FOR THE LAST 2 HOURS.
I may have to reset all my stats now :(

So, I am lazy and we all know this. We've been ignoring this upcoming week in Chicago, because looking for affordable hotels there is an absolute nightmare sometimes. I figured that I'd get a better rate on Hotwire or Priceline if I waited til the very last minute.
Hotwire has not disappointed me. Hilton @ Midway for $58 a night. The lowest room rate they have is $159. SCORE. A decent room for the next week, with a comfortable bed and I won't have to worry about running a gauntlet of hookers and drug dealers in the parking lot. AND, it ended up only being 7 miles from where we are set to work, which is like, a miracle in a city like Chicago. Chancing hotels without knowing the location can get you in some pretty strange places. Like when we Hotwired the hotel in Seattle and ended up the other side of Tacoma, omg did that 1hr+ drive each way suck.
Laundry is done, dog food needs to be secured, packing needs to be done, and we still have to get a rental from DTW. I can't wait til this chaos of traveling is over for good.

I'm almost convinced that 'Sloop John B' may be one of the best pop songs ever recorded.
And for some reason, 'Bittersweet Symphony' won't get out of my play list these days.

we are listening to Kasey Kasem Top 40.
from 1988.
I haven't figured of if this is the epitome of suck or awesome. in a strictly nostalgic way, of course.

I've been remiss on updating LJ. It's just so hard to do it via mobile, and we get such spotty internet most of the time. And even when we do manage to get at a hotel with a good connection, I'm usually so tired that I just simply don't care.
( this is about babies. )
Otherwise, life is going along as life does. We work, eat and sleep. It's getting old, but it's worth it. I'll have one more trip home in the beginning of May, and then be coming home for good May 22. It's so close, I can barely stand it. I don't know what I'll do with myself, I'm so used to my life being constantly upside down with work that I suspect I'll be bored a lot. Then again, maybe not.

there is so much I want to say, but simply not enough words to make it adequate.
i'm sitting at sonic waiting for my breakfast, revisiting The Chronic and i'm thinking two things: this is a fine morning, all around and why didn't I snag this album until now?
How bad would it be if I forced this on my unborn child, weeks before her arrival date?
Rothsbury Festival Artist line-up.
While 80% of them don't thrill me, the thought of seeing Willie AND Bob Dylan possibly play on the same stage makes me a little weak in the knees. Also, Toots & the Maytals, Ralph Stanley, Gov't Mule and Peter Rowan don't hurt either.
But I can't help but thinking, what on earth is Nas doing there?
