“What you have to understand about this lovely woman is, in addition to being a fine actress and a wonderful comedienne, she’s peculiar…. You have to keep that in mind because she’s like — and joyfully, gladfully — different from everybody else walking around on the planet. That’s what makes her special. That’s why we [...]

Um, just listen to that song, don’t watch the video…just my advice I first heard this song at the end of Rushmore, and I love it to this day. It’s the soundtrack to this little post.
Yesterday on the bus ride back from taking Luke to kindergarten, I started looking [...]

The above is a group called Momo & the Coop (from Lewis & Clark College?) performing Sufjan Stevens’ ”The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us!” My love for this is big, for (I think) obvious reasons.
Well, America has a new president. And I missed the swearing-in. I think [...]

(from my new favorite show. I’m a little obsessed with European Smarties, too.)

A guy and girl (probably younger than me) carrying the edges of a plastic crate filled to capacity with bottles of beer. The girl was also hefting an economy-sized package of rolls of toilet paper.
Party on-the-go, I guess!
SOME (MAYBE A LITTLE) DISCONNECTED THOUGHTS

in Germany, the ”caps lock” button really acts as if you’re holding down the ‘’shift” button…so ”abcd1234” becomes ”ABCD!”§$”. I think this may be an improvement over the American way of doing things.
Leah was sick today, so in the course of about 8 hours she and I watched…

The above song got me through some scary turbulence. For some reason, the rhythm or something was both comforting and distracting (from the plane’s shaking). At one point I played it twice in a row, which I never do!
So I’m here (after two turbulence-filled flights, one morning in a pod hotel, [...]
