Music Monday Presents Ratatat

Music Mondays

Once again Music Monday turns out not to be produced on a Monday. I do what I want. It's gettin' crazy up in this blog.

Okay so turns out that Ratatat is my pick for this week. I am revisiting their electronic genius after many moons.

I saw them in concert, and they were just delightful. It's the kind of music that makes you wanna run around waving your arms wildly and laugh.

The Fountainhead

READ THIS BOOK! It is quite frightening to see the similarities between her novel and what is happening in our country today.

"Don't you find anything amusing in my little experiment? I do. For instance, do you notice that all the wrong people are on the wrong sides? Mr. Alvah Scarret, the college professors, the newspaper editors, the respectable mothers and the Chambers of Commerce should have come flying to the defense of Howard Roark-- if they value their own lives. But they didn't. They are upholding Hopton Stoddard. On the other hand I heard that some screwy bunch of cafeteria radicals called 'The New League of Proletarian Art' tried to enlist in support of Howard Roark--they said he was a victim of capitalism--when they should have known that Hopton Stoddard is their champion."

Music Monday (Three days later)

So I'm starting a little thing on my blog called music Monday, but I'm starting it on Wednesday. Why? Because I'm just that crazy.

Music Mondays originated in my old apartment Wellington 7, where I would pick a band to celebrate each week. During that week of celebration, I would cover the bathroom mirror with fun facts about the band and force anyone of my roommates getting ready in the morning to sing the selected band's songs...all week! Turns out that was a great idea. Also turns out that Styx week was our favorite. Why? Oh I'll tell you why. Because they can politely sing thank you to a robot in Japanese.

So I present to you Gorillaz. And I award them "the most diverse portfolio award".

Or is this Whitney?

Is Whitney Houston a little Asian boy?

Keeping up with the Bloggers

Now that we are blogging, Dave and I have had to spice up the old routine.

No more throwing on our sweats and watching HBO after work!

We have a blog to think about.

Instead of relaxing on the couch, we play rock, paper, scissors. And we even take pictures of it!

But that's not all we can accomplish! We can hold a frisbee while simultaniously taking a picture.

And then when we really want something to blog about... we actually throw it (the frisbee).

Thanks to blogging we'll never have a dull moment again!

The Ice Holes

My hockey team The Ice Holes won our first league championship! We are so proud.

Initiation

I thought I would talk about Dave's initiation into my family. Every Christmas we like to go out into a field of iced over snow and play a game my family lovingly refers to as "pasture hockey". As you can see we all adorn ourselves with stylish winter attire from a variety of decades (the early 90s being the obvious favorite). Then we tromp out into the "pasture", set up some cones for goals, and run around like lunatics taking the game all too seriously. If you know me or anyone in my family you know we would never just play for fun. We are all out to win, and Dave along with his shins found out the hard way. "But why on Earth was he wearing shorts in the middle of winter?" you ask... well he had the choice of my mother's nylon pants or his shorts. Don't worry he definitely tried on her pants, which unfortunately was not photographed.
