Yesterday I shared the best PB and J ever with Savannah, and Cade and I had an hour of beach/pier time to ourselves. Best afternoon ever.

Welcome to Bizarro World

Money quote:

...it isn't just that Comedy Central censored an image of Mohammad, as they have done in the past, but they bleeped out any mention of the him, lest any Muslims happen upon their prophet's name being used in an offensive context.

Some music

Been listening to this mix this week:

Giddy up

This afternoon the kids took turns riding on my shoulders pretending I was a horse.
They happily yelled "giddy up" over and over again and Savannah even slapped my head like she was a jockey in the Kentucky Derby.

Good times.

Oceansize live

Here's a video of Oceansize performing "Unfamiliar" live. The vocals here aren't spectacular, but the musicianship is superb. The last two minutes of this performance are epic. I would love to see Oceansize live, but they don't make it to the states often. They opened for Cave In on a tour once in the early-mid 2000's but haven't made it back to this side of the pond since.

The band's latest EP "Home & Minor" is really incredible. Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/oceansizeuk .
