Music Monday

That's right my friends, you read that right. Mondays are going to be all about the music! You may not like my taste in music, but, if you give some of these a try, you just might discover a new group.

One of my latest musical obsessions is the band Keane. I have two of their CD's (do you know that I just typed in albums right now, I'm that old!) and adore them both. Their biggest hit to date is a song called "Somewhere Only We Know." But, they have many other songs that are just as good, if not better.

I am finding that the older I get, the mellower I want my music to be. This song is actually one of their most "rocking" ones that I have heard. And, I love the lead singer's voice! Ohmigod, I sound just like a 13 year old looking at her Tiger Beat magazine, don't I? Ah well, I have never claimed to be a music critic.

To be sure, the video is a bit er, disturbing on some levels, but if you don't like it, just minimize the screen and turn up the volume, because it's still a great song.

Mellow music is awesome. I love to put on light jazz when we're having dinner. It creates such a lovely atmosphere.

Music Monday's is a good way to start off the week. My new fav CD is Introducing Joss Stone. So much soul for a tiny white chick.

I hadn't heard that song before, so groovy, thanks! But why was his clone stealing my car at the end? ;)

I still call them albums too! I haven't really listened to music in oh so very long because it is something we did together almost every night and I can't cry over just about anything, but maybe your music Mondays are just the thing. Thanks Gina!

For some reason, the clip isn't working on my work computer. I'll check it out when I get home. I'm not sure if I'm getting more mellow in my tastes or just getting stuck in a particular genre. I tried Pandora and I found that while I like the music the "station" picked for me, I thought there were too many "sound alikes."

Holy crap, is that Giovanni Ribisi in that video? And thanks for another band to look into. Last time, you got me onto Aqualung and I enjoyed some of their stuff.

And hey, I call them "albums" as well. "CDs" just sounds awful. No cache.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
