WatchXavier Rudd @ Hillside from NOW Magazine on Vimeo.
I’ve seen Xavier Rudd in a stuffy Edmonton theatre, and an amazing on-the-beach outdoor show in Vancouver—both shows had the same vibe. Awesome musician.

As a big William H. Macy fan, I’ve always loved Fargo, but oddly found something missing from the movie. Now I realize what that something was: ukeleles. Duh.

Stars on 45 - “Medley: Intro Venus/Sugar Sugar/No Reply/I’ll Be Back/Drive My Car/Do You Want to Know a Secret/We Can Work It Out/I Should Have Known Better/Nowhere Man/You’re Going to Lose That Girl/Stars on 45”
It is (to date) the longest titled song to ever chart in Billboard[.]

Me: Turn your head 90 degrees to the right and look at the "less than three."
Josh: Ohhhh, it's a heart - it is a heart right? Hmmm, looking at my post above now, and realizing that < 3 actually turns into a [heart], I feel old. Winky face is as texty as I get.

Me: Hey Poet, I'm going to make you the Featured Poet soon. Do you have a photo I can use?
Poet: I’ve attached a recent photo that includes my daughter because she’s more photogenic than me. Crop her out if you like.
Me: I'm still baby-crazy after visiting my nieces--I doubt I could bring myself to crop her out even if she wasn't adorable.
Poet: I’ll leave the hard decision re cropping (or not) to you. The fact I dedicated [Latest Collection] to her might, however, be a more defensible justification than her excessive cuteness for keeping her in.
Topango Café review
The food was awesome (I was “covertly” given extra veggies, too), the name makes me think of everything good from Boy Meets World, but I tripped on the step while I was reading their “watch your step” sign.

Natalie: Hey have you seen my new kleenexes?
Matthew: No? *inspects domestically challenged Sniff kleenex*
Natalie: Pretty cool, hey?
Matthew: *sniffs them* They don't smell like anything.

Matthew: *sees that Sniff is the brand of Kleenex not instructions* Oh.
Natalie: OMG. Did you seriously just do that? Awesome.
