Rest Stops and Interstates

They are never dull....

Awesome Leaf Jumping


Thanks Pablo!

 I like to think that I've got some skillz when it comes to finding out information which is why it irked me to no end that I could not find out who sang the song played at 1:10 in:


After spending a stoopid amount of time searching I ended up stumbling upon the Soundtrack INFO project site and decided to post my question there.

Now, almost two months later, my question has been answered:

The State Of All Things Brown


This, my friends, is where I've been spending the past three weeks.  It's sooooo brown......

And here's some music currently in rotation:

Are You That Somebody (Aaliyah cover) / Gossip I'm a little surprised at this - both that Gossip did a cover of this song and that I like it.

Gloomy Monday Morning / The Black Hollies Love the 60's sound here.

Into The Clouds / The Sound of Arrows Yes, this is filling my 'fabulous' quota for this week.

Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!

Am now on week 3 of my Grand Jury stint and the ratio of fascinating to disturbing/depressing is about 5 : 10. Yuck.

Something funny did happen this week though -  Ms. Firecrochet was asked by the Attorney General to refrain from crocheting as they have been getting some comments from the witnesses.  BWA!

This picture is from my walk in to court this morning.  I passed by the Cable Car Cinema and spotted these fun movie reel bike racks. 

Dance Mix 89

Today I listened to an old mix tape of mine:















Side A
Bring Me Edelweiss / Edelweiss (I still love this song.)
Route 66 / Depeche Mode
Blister In The Sun / Violent Femmes
Kiss Me / Stephen Duffy
Tenderness / General Public
She Drives Me Crazy / Fine Young Cannibals
I Beg Your Pardon / Kon Kan
A Little Respect / Erasure
She Wants To Dance With Me / Rick Astley (BWA!)
Funky Cold Medina / Tone Loc
Round and Round / New Order


OW! I Burned My Hand!

Week 2 of Grand Jury:

When selling an item on craigslist, do not agree to meet the prospective buyer alone, in a bad part of town...at niiiight.

Illegal entrance onto a premise with criminal intent during the day is called Breaking and Entering and is considered a felony. This very same action is called Burglary and is then considered a capital offense when committed...at niiiight.

Before fleeing the scene of a crime, always check to make sure you didn't drop your wallet on the floor because it'll be a bummer when the po po knock on your door...at niiiight.

Dear Firecrochet,

As we begin our second week of Grand Jury service do you think you can take it upon yourself to *not* crochet while victims and witnesses are testifying? Although the sweater you're making looks beautiful I'm pretty sure last week's victim was just as appreciative as me of your indifference as he testified, in tears, to being robbed and severely beaten.

Sincerely,

Junior Deputy Foreskin
