Last night, nibbish became the latest in a long line of WGOMers to win a season of Spookymilk Survivor (it's now five straight for the site). Old Chicago in Apple Valley wishes you were there to wish him well. You know, unless you were, which is possible because a lot of people were there.

March 24, 2012: Success
It was a small cadre of Citizens at the caucus - AMR, Sean, Algonad, New Guy, freealonzo, Can of Corn, The Dread Pirate and myself - but a blast was had by all (I assume; a couple of them were pretty quiet). I'm excited to meet more of you tonight.

Yesterday was the first day since we moved AJR to her toddler bed. Then we moved LBR into the crib (from the bassinet). At the same time, our fridge started burning or something, and all our exposed food smelled like burning plastic and we decided after the repairman came that we needed to defrost and clean to get that smell out. And LBR's sleep schedule was all mucked up by EAR trying to figure out if we need a new fridge or not. And then AJR decided after two naps and one entire night in the bed that she was going to push it and keep getting up. And HPR took his entire shower with the curtain on the outside of the tub. This was the type of night for which Dominoes was invented. Long way of saying I've got no real music thoughts... other than "Lydia Loveless, Peaking Lights, Lydia Loveless, Peaking Lights, ... "
Post your random ten and I'll see some of you tonight. Oh, and is it cliche to still wear the DePaula jersey?

March 23, 2012: This Wasn’t the Plan
I just had the worst night of my life last night, as my brother tried desperately to have a serious physical fight with me (if I explained his reasoning, it would just be embarrassing for him, so I'll skip it).
I'm glad the caucus is tonight. Nobody's planning on fisticuffs, are they?
Beastie Boys- Get It Together
To piggy back off of jobu, here is my favorite Beasites tune. This is as a result of Tip being prominently involved.

I'm in Minnesota, unless my plane crashed and I'm dead. Wow, you guys are going to be seriously weirded out by this CoC if that's the case.
