Little foot

       This is Jay's little foot. Isn't it sweet? He's so wonderful. Yes, I admit I'm a sucker for babies. I think they could come with better plumbing, but otherwise they are miracles. I think everyone should have several. Just go to your local hospital and pick a couple out. They're expensive, but many hospitals now give money-back guaranties, and the babies are worth every penny.
       Hey, I got an email today from Lulu saying that my book was published and that they had shipped my proof copy to me. Sometime next week I should have it in my hands. I'm looking forward to it.
      I really like Dashboard by Modest Mouse. Here's a link to the YouTube video. Yes, it's weird, but turn it up loud and see if it doesn't get you energized.
      I've been reading the wonderful Holly Lisle books that I received in the mail last week. If you've not read Holly's books, you've been missing out. Get thee to your local bookstore or favorite online retailer and order some of her books. You won't be disappointed.
       And now I'm going to get to bed. I hope you have a great day tomorrow. Talk to you then.

Aww, such a precious photo!

Modest Mouse is a favorite of mine, I saw them in concert last summer.

I have to go now...I need to find a baby to snuggle and a rocking chair to sit in. :)

Goodnight.

Ok that was a really wierd song, not that i could understand most of the words. I think they have been watching too much pirates of the C lately.

Jay's a doll, Rain.

I only like a few songs of Modest Mouse, but I can see why people would be their fans.

I hope you found a baby to snuggle with!

Roen, it's a weird song, but it's a fun song. Here are the lyrics. No, they don't make a lot of sense, but I still like them.

Dashboard

Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio.

Oh, it should've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Well, you told me about nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go.

Oh, it could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know.
Well, the windshield was broken but I love the fresh air y'know.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)

Oh, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know, oh!
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Oh, we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Now here we go!

Oh! It would've been, could've been worse than it had even gone
Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want.
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)

Why should we ever even ever really even get to know?
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
Oh if the world don't like us it'll shake us just like we were a co-oh-oh-oh-old.
Now here we go!

Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
Every dawn you're surprising,
And the evening was consoling
Saying "See it wasn't quite as bad as"
Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.

I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes
After you had proved my point wrong,
It wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh.
I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show.

Yeah, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio.
(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good)

Hard-wired to concieve, so much we'd have to stow it
Even needs have needs, tiny giants made of tinier giants.
Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this show.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)

Oh, we could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Well, you told me about nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Now here we go!

Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
Every dawn you're surprising,
And the evening was consoling
Saying "See it wasn't quite as bad as"

Oh it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
