catch up

Posted on March 17, 2006

Disregarding my geek post, it’s been 30 days since I’ve posted here. So here’s a few highlights of the last few weeks:

  • Belle & Sebastian in DC and Nashville. Oh how I love this band. I wish I could make a blanket out of them. I would carry that blanket with me everywhere I went. In fact, I’d just wrap myself up in it and be naked underneath. It would be wonderful. Both of their sets were pretty much perfect.
  • How awesome was it when Jack Bauer shot Robocop’s wife!
  • Ate at Calypso, La Hacienda, and SATCO in Nashville. Mmmmmm. Then had ribs at Dreamland in Huntsville. Double-Mmmmm.
  • Also regarding food, I’m convinced my mom tried to kill me over spring break. Her sinister plot was to keep feeding me until some portion of my gastrointestinal tract ruptured, and I succumbed to internal bleeding.
  • My brother owns a straightening iron… and yes, the kind of straightening iron you use on your hair.
  • American Idol has it’s top 12. I don’t have a favorite yet, but McPhee is up there right now, as are Daughtry and Hicks.

Lunch time, maybe more later.

    Anoop,

    I love the way you describe B & S - ever since I bought the album, I have told several friends that if Belle and Sebastian were a religion, I would join it :)

    My wife saw them at SXSW on Wednesday night and reported that it was very well received.

    If you don’t already have it, then you can grab NPR’s recording of the March 6 9:30 Club show at <a href=’http://www.davedonohue.com/2006/03/07/belle-and-sebastian-new-pornographers-march-6-show-online/’>http://www.davedonohue.com/2006/03/07/belle-and-sebastian-new-pornographers-march-6-show-online/</a>

    Yup, already grabbed it! It worked out nicely, because we went to the 3/5 9:30 club show and sold our tickets for 3/6. It was a tough decision, but we felt a lot better that this recording was made available.

    I’d have given anything to here “Belle and Sebastian”, “She’s Losing It”, and “Me and the Major” live, though!
