A profound thank you to pegkerr for introducing me to this singer's work. His name is Samuel Tsui. This is total awesomeness. It is all the same guy--I thought it was a singing group, at first. His college buddy edited the video to make it look like there are six or seven of him. Just listen to the total gorgeosity, and know bliss. Listen to it with your eyes closed, and it's even better...

pegkerr has learned not to ask her daughter for Motrin. Me (blankly): "Fiona, why do you have a rock in your purse?" Fiona: "The better question is, why don't you have a rock in yours, Mom? You can still get one, you know." Context is lacking a stick, but has half a walnut.

here are TWO really cool videos I stole am reblogging from pegkerr : (and apologies if you are now thinking MAN SOMEONE ELSE IS BLOGGING THAT DAMN VIDEO, but really, if you haven't watched either of them - they are great!!) The Wedding Dance of The Funnest Wedding Ever (well, besides my own, but mine wasn't nearly so sociable): I hadn't caught up with Gordon Korman's more serious heir...

Author pegkerr scores some serious mommy points . Miss Fiona is ordinarily the sunniest of teenagers, surprisingly free of angst and woe. Today, however, was not an ordinary day. She came home uncharacteristically out of sorts from working at the library. I asked whether she planned on going to karate tonight, but she informed me, no, tonight was the library book club, which she has been...

I am all coughy and spluttery and not happy about it, today. Work; slightly smarter about the feared deathmarch than feared, but still not fun. Happy birthday shweta_narayan ! *hug* Saw the free premiere of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead on Tuesday. It was fun in a very light comic sort of way, with vampires running a theatre doing a strange Hamlet-based play that's not really...

Wow. Duuuuuuude! This is the most exquisite flower garden I have ever seen! I found the link via pegkerr .

Happy, happy birthday to pegkerr  ! May your blessings be many, may your sorrows be few. May everyone with chocolate Share a bite with you.

Happy Birthday nicosian and pegkerr !
