the cycle

Cade got sick and threw up on Kerri and Jessica on Wednesday. I got sick and threw up all night long on Friday. Jessica threw up on Sunday. Kerri came home from work with an upset stomach tonight. Meanwhile, Cade and Savannah started having nasty disgusting poop sludge diapers yesterday, and today I started having nasty bathroom experiences again. I'm pretty sure this cycle will never end.

new Converge studio footage

CONVERGE New album out soon on Epitaph/Deathwish


Here is a short video of Converge in the recording studio. The band is working on a follow up to "No Heroes," which came out in 2006. Converge has yet to top 2001's "Jane Doe" in my eyes, but everything they have released has been spectacular.

I am pretty sure Ken Andrews never made a bad album. Failure, Year of the Rabbit and his latest solo album are all great. Even ON, his least awesome work, wasn't really bad. It just didn't live up to the standard set by the rest of his bands.

Anyway...Here is a video of Andrews and Year of the Rabbit performing "Rabbit Hole."

we've got another smoking umbrella in here

Here's a video of Failure playing the song "Smoking Umbrellas" live. The video has to be old, since the band broke up like 10 years ago. The song is from the band's under appreciated spacey grunge album "Fantastic Planet," which is like 18 songs about heroine.

I have no idea who shot the video, or why they are obsessed with focusing on Ken Andrews.

A good first day

We took the kids to daycare this morning for the first time since we moved to Foley in July. Cade had been to daycare when we lived in Northport, but hadn't been since the move. Savannah had never stayed with anyone other than us for more than a couple of hours.

Cade cried as we were leaving, but stopped as soon as we were out of his sight. Savannah was fussy all day and wouldn't eat much. But that is kinda the way she is at home. Cade's teacher said he warmed up to the other kids by mid-morning, ate his whole lunch and napped when the other kids napped. Savannah was the only infant there today from the looks of it.
