NMT 29

You know you're married with kids when your mother-in-law offers to keep your child overnight on your anniversary and your first thought isn't "Oh man, now we can have anniversary sex in any room and be as loud as we want.", but instead: "Oh man, I could totally sleep in and only worry about getting myself ready for work in the morning".

Can't wait.

Our pick this week, in celebration of R.E.M. day -the album came out today and they were on the Today show, but I only saw two of the songs- is one of the bands that will be opening for them on their U.S. tour. I probably won't get to see this leg of the tour since the only close show they are playing is in Atlanta, in June, outdoors. No thanks. I'm sure they'll be back around in the fall or whatever.

never heard of this band until they were announced as an opening band (along with Modest Mouse), so not sure what to tell you other than I do like it.

From Cincinnati, OH:

The National - "Mistaken for Strangers"



bonus tracks:

It's always good when a song from a genre you wouldn't normally listen that you are forced to listen too is actually pretty good. I have this cd if any of you need a copy.

Alicia Keys - "No one":



Random pick of the Week - It's R.E.M. day:

Good tunes. I, too, bought the Alicia Keys CD and it was a stretch for me b/c normally i don't like here but I loved the "No One" song until I played it over and over and now I am over it. I kinda feel gyped b/c I heard that CD was one of her best but I really only like 2 songs. Bummer! And this is why I hardly buy CDs anymore.

Alas, good tunes.

kg: you're right. i forgot. he's male and as such can't focus on more than one thing at a time. thanks for putting things into perspective.

me? i just started a fire (in the woodstove, not on the lawn or anything...as if i have a lawn when there's still four feet of snow out there), put laundry away, did the dishes, vacuumed, changed a diaper and am on my way out the door to go to the car dealership to pick up my car.

the spouse's list of to dos for the day: go to work. come home. end of list.

sorry, i digress. what were we talking about?

It's amazing, isn't it? Jay has a big fancy degree and runs his own startup, yet still can't remember to renew the registration for his car (it's been six months) or buy a vacuum cleaner. He can, however, find the time to research buying a TV and an XBox for 3 months before actually making said purchase.

It's that extra chromosome they have, I'm telling you.
