boot camp

she's moving! on her hands and knees some of the time, but mostly it's an army crawl.

w.i.p.

lots of hanging out this weekend...
a work in progress

construction junction

oh, you thought that since we already had trailers, a tractor, carpentry and welding equipment, fence panels, an air compressor, saddles, dogs and cars in the back, that we couldn't possibly fit anything else? oh but we can. it's the newest addition, a backhoe. wait, what did you call me?

8 months

esther margaret turned eight months old this week, and other than the things i've already reported, she sprouted a fifth tooth on the bottom, has added an "sh" to her sound repertoire and her love of dogs has gone from a curiosity to a full blown obsession. she especially loves nero, who doesn't really love her back. one sided love only leads to heartbreak, em.

free speech

jeremy taught her this trick, and we finally got it recorded..

paranoid android

radiohead in dallas last night at the american airlines center, one of the best shows i've ever seen..

the show was as visually mesmerizing as the music itself
thom yorke wore red jeans! how about that. so trendy, thom
the set for weird fishes
the way he dances is a mix between the guy who always gets on the jumbo tron at baseball games for doing the chicken dance and a little insouciant girl dancing in a field of flowers.
some clips..

the best version of reckoner i've heard to date

the momentum built up through "everything in its right place" was almost unbearable

one of my all time favorite songs, idioteque, from kid a

they surprisingly performed songs from ok computer including the iconic karma police.

the demographic of concert goers was surprising! i expected to see cerebral, rich, pretentious music snobs who have subscriptions to spin and say ridiculous things like "next to joy division, wilco is the most influential band of the last 50 years". but there were so many sorts of people there, i even saw two black guys!

just goes to show, everyone loves radiohead.
