Dallas Green melts my stone-cold heart.
What especially sucks is that I may have waited too long to get tix to see him in NYC next month. Ticketmaster isn't showing any tix available, but I'm going to keep checking as the date gets closer, just in case some pop up.

Just because I haven't posted in over a week.
Felt some need to update, but don't really have any material/news/amusing anecdotes with which to update. Been that kind of month.
So, with that...here, enjoy a recent strip from Cyanide and Happiness.

This could be the funniest image ever.
Danielle almost passed out she was laughing so hard when she saw this. Apparently she has a weak spot for dogs wearing wigs. Do a GIS for "dogs in wigs". It's worth it.

Dallas Green is a brilliant lyricist.
This is the line that hit me on the way to work this morning from City and Colour's "The Death of Me":
'Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow. Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle.'
Ain't that just the fuckin' truth.

Mike Rowe on Sesame Street?
It happened! And it was hilarious!
Found it on Mike's blog at Discovery.com, another blog on which I'm now hooked (along with Roger Ebert's, which is beyond brilliant).
A slice of history for me.
Apparently, someone has discovered the first-known internet posting regarding Transformers. Predictably, it's just a bunch of bitching, particularly about the first issue of the critically-acclaimed (throughout the TF fandom, at least) original Marvel G1 series. It's nice to see that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
From net.comics
Looking at the date stamp on it creeps me out a little bit. I was four years old and Danielle was about one month old.

House... (no, not Gregory)
Well, things are moving along pretty decently in the new house thus far. Living room's painted and the sofa's in there along with an area rug that really complements the room (courtesy of Danielle's parents).
The bedroom is pretty much done being painted with a few touch-ups needed here and there. Bed's been dismantled from the apartment and already transported over to the house to be reconstructed once the painting is completely done in the bedroom. In the meantime, we've got our Aerobed in the apartment. I'll probably be sore in the morning, but I'm usually sore these days. Once this move is over, I'm going right back to the doc to get this sciatica figured out.
Also, my pseudo-office room downstairs is done being primed and pretty much ready to be painted. Progress! Closer and closer to actually getting things truly moved in. One thing I've gotta make sure to do this week is take apart the kitchen table...provided Danielle cleans it off at some point. I have no idea how we continually manage to make such a mess of that thing.
Also, I'm very, very seriously considering going to see City and Colour in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom next month. Danielle's not really into my music scene - took her to see Margot & the Nuclear So and So's a couple months ago at the Bowery, but the show didn't really do it for her - so I'm going solo on this one. Tix are only $15, so once I add in Ticketmaster charges, the train into the city and the round trip on the subway, it'll be $35 or so for the night. Not too bad, considering I'd pay more than that alone just for the tickets for most of the more mainstream shows out there.
It's a good thing to be a fan of more obscure (relatively speaking) indie music, especially considering the costs we're incurring with the new house. But I figure, I don't get to see shows all that often these days (and a lot of the bands that I really dig these days don't seem to tour outside of Canada), so I'm entitled to a minor treat once in a while. It's only fair - I mean, I did take Danielle to see "Twilight", right?

Oh, for those who haven't heard...
Danielle and I are homeowners as of Wednesday afternoon. Yay and all that.
Now comes all the painting, moving, etc. Not so yay, but it's gotta be done.
Pics to come at some future point, as I've already been asked for some a few times. Once we get settled, I'll get some posted.

I know what I'm doing New Year's Day.
