Attention Internet: Important Message to Follow
I learned a very important lesson today - Vanessa is right and I am wrong. I am posting this here for the sake of posterity and so that I will never forget it. (At least until I make 5 new entries and it falls off the bottom of the page).

Wordless Wednesday - Fortunately it's not a St. Louis Cardinal

Songs about Poaching: Serious Business
I'm currently listening to a song on Pandora about poaching, and what a horrible thing it is. They are clever, though, because they wrote it from the perspective of the poacher. I'm sure that was a daring statement for whatever world it is these people live in and probably resulted in them losing fans.
Anti-Poaching Fan 1: Have you heard the new Show of Hands cd?
Anti-Poaching Fan 2: No, is it any good?
Anti-Poaching Fan 1: They have a song about being a poacher, sung from the viewpoint of a poacher.
several minutes of silent weeping
Anti-Poaching Fan 2: Those bastards....
Or at least that's how I imagine it must have happened. Anyway, for anyone interested in enjoying an array of daring Anti-Poaching music, here's the Pandora station I created.

Wordless Wednesday - And that's how TV saved my life.

The internet: putting the i,n,t,& e in independent
Kate Walsh decided to record an album in her friend Tim's basement and then to release it on iTunes. Turns out that she's really freaking talented, and the album has shot up to the #1 spot on the UK iTunes charts. Even if you don't care for her style specifically, it's hard to deny how awesome of a resource the internet has become for independent movements in general. In fact, this website is basically just another example of the same mindset. Granted it's not nearly as moving or interesting as her music, but that this type of thing can exist at all is very exciting.
Now all I need to do is finally finish one of my many projects....

Wordless Wednesday - These aren't the Droids you're looking for.

New Crisis Looming
So earlier this evening Vanessa was watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on DVD while, at the exact same moment, I was reading the book. I'm not sure what this means, exactly, but I bring it to your attention on the off chance that you notice a tear in the space-time-continuum in the near future. If you do, please let me know immediately. If Star Trek has taught me anything, it's that we need to find the correct frequency as quickly as possible, or else we're all doomed.
