March 25, 2012: Dominance

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.

Friday Music Day: March 23, 2012

In which we anticipate meeting the Spoonsman.

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?
