I decorated the tree with the girls yesterday. Sick as I was, it was still fun to watch them.
Alright, this one holds up a little bit better than some of the other tunes I've been playing this week.

The Wild (16-7-3) leads the NHL with 35 points. Since we last talked they are 5-2-0 and are 8-2-0 over their last 10 games. They are currently atop both the Western Conference and the Northwest Division, 2 points ahead of Detroit and Chicago and 6 points ahead of Vancouver. Here's how they got there:

Sour Cream keeps bringing home sickness from preschool, and I keep getting it.
i recognize that the butthole surfers have a wide and distinguished catalog (though i must admit to being largely unfamiliar with it). technically though, they are a one hit wonder.
