Link and Catch Up
This made me laugh harder than anything I can remember in a long time. I had tears in my eyes, folks.
Also, we did go to the circus. We did get a dog. He's a red heeler, a type of Australian cattle dog, and we named him Ringo Starr. He tries to herd us. We went on a weekend trip to Gatlinburg. I also got engaged and bought a wedding dress. I am planning a motherload of picture posts soon.
How are you doing?

Dear Katie,
You were so right about Sufjan Stevens. Man. I'm currently wearing out Casimir Pulaski Day, which means that I'm tearing up everytime he sings "Oh the morning when you finally go" and then DEAD by the time the last part comes around.
Oh the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see His face
In the morning in the window
Oh the glory when He took our place
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face
And He takes and He takes and He takes
So yes, Sufjan Stevens. Highly recommended. Not all of his songs make you want to cry.

Music Meme
I haven't updated in awhile. I need to start updating more. I'm hoping that this music survey thing will motivate me.
I borrowed this from Newspaper Hack. Thanks and such. I also added a couple questions because I wanted it to come out to 25 questions.
1. A favorite political track “My Enemies are Men Like Me” – Derek Webb
2. One of those tracks that will make you dance on the dancefloor no matter what “Canned Heat” by Jamiroquai, OR “Crazy in Love” – Beyonce. Yeah, I stole the 2nd half of my answer from Newspaper Hack. Seriously, I probably could be at a funeral, and if those intro horns started, I’d shimmy in my seat. I can’t control it. I HAVE to dance.
3. The song you’d use to tell someone you love them “In My Life” – The Beatles
4. A song you know would sell lots of VWs (or iPods) if they paid for it (one that hasn’t already been used) “12:51” – The Strokes Actually I have no idea. But I do know that if they used that song, I probably would buy it so.
5. A song that forced you to sit down and analyze its lyrics “Nightswimming” - REM
6. A song you like that a 2 year old would like too “Can’t Get Next to You” – The Temptations
7. A song that makes you drive too fast “Pain” – Four Star Mary
8. A song that makes you feel like kicking someone’s butt “Fighter” – Christina Aguilera Maybe not so much beating someone up, but this song does get me through the worst part of my workout every time, so.
9. A song that both you and your grandparents like “Beyond the Sea” – Bobby Darin
10. The song you’d send to someone you hated “Nothin’ On Me” – Shawn Colvin
11. A sad instrumental song that would be in the soundtrack to a movie about your life “Close Your Eyes” – Christophe Beck (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
12. The peppy song that would start the opening credits in the soundtrack to a movie about your life “Bohemian Like You” – The Dandy Warhols
13. An acapella song “That Lonesome Road” – James Taylor
14. A good song from a genre of music that no one could guess that you liked “Early One Morning” – Nana Mouskouri Yeah, English folk music from 1700s
15. A song you think should have been playing when you were born “Hard to Handle” – Black Crowes OR “Trouble” by Pink
16. A favorite artist duo collaboration “Portland, Oregon” – Loretta Lynn and Jack White
17. A favorite song you completely disagree with (politically, morally, commonsensically, religiously, etc) “Regulate” – Warren G and Nate Dogg
18. The song that you love despite the fact that your IQ level drops several points every time you listen to it “Toxic” – Britney Spears
19. Your smooth song, for relaxing “Paint the Silence” – South
20. A song that you like but would play loud to annoy the neighbors “Transylvanian Concubine” – Rasputina
21. A favorite song that’s about a sport or sports N/A
22. A favorite track from an outfit considered a “super-group” “Take It Easy” – The Eagles; “I Saw Her Standing There” – The Beatles I wasn’t exactly sure what was meant by “super group” as that can generally have two meanings. I just went with “really, really famous and influential.”
23. the song that makes you want to drink more beer “Honey Don’t” – Steve Earle and other guy, OR “To Be Young” – Ryan Adams
24. one of the songs you want played at your funeral “In Christ Alone"
25. favorite Dylan track “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright”
So what do you think? Like some of these songs? Hate some of these songs? Both? Hit me up with the comments.

Random Quickie
It was my intention to write a nice long entry about my nice long Thanksgiving break (during which I saw this guy and his wife), but then I realized that I had a mound of work to do, so I'm going to have to disappoint.
But, this morning whilst i was driving to work, I smelled that particular smell that hotel pools have (esp. indoor ones). You know, with all the chlorine? It was odd because I was nowhere near a hotel nor a pool, but it made me think of that one Spring Break that I spent with Cecil and Erynn at the beach. It was fun, and I think it was the last time that I was at a hotel where I went swimming. Anyway, I just love that fact that senses, including smell, are so closely knit to memory.

Clemson wins again
Not the best game, but Tigers pull it off (with a called back touchdown, I might add). Whitehurst goes 4-0 against Carolina. Smile.
C-L-E-M-S-O-N T-I-G-E-R-S! Fight, Tigers! Fight, Tigers! Fight, fight, fight!
Oh, and Adam? My dad pronounces it Clem-son, and I've picked it up.

We Have a Winner!
Alright, let's hear it for Miranda! The two songs I was thinking of were indeed "Better than Ice Cream" by Sarah McLachlan and "Your Love is Like Bad Medicine" by Bon Jovi. Let's hear it for the girl!
