I saw Los Campesinos last night and they were great, but what really struck my fancy was the opening act, a band called Parenthetical Girls

So this is Zac Pennington
He's the lead singer, and I have been to a lot of concerts, but I have to say he was one of the most charismatic, sassy performers I've ever seen. He reminds me of an American version of Patrick Wolf, actually.

The did an amazing (awesome and creepy) cover of Handsome Devil by The Smiths. Everyone danced. It was great.

So you know how you guys always tease me for never noticing anyone?

Irony alert. I went to go write at me and es' fav place this AM and spent 30 minutes without noticing this fellow at the table right next to me. In fact probably would not have noticed at all if some college kid hadn't gone up to him and asked to take a picture with him (he kindly obliged and was v nice about it actually). anyway, you guys are totally right. i never notice anyone. what is wrong with me? although i have to say, i was super please that he was very nice to my favorite waitress. also, am sort of amused that he goes to bfast at 8:30am in the morning on a saturday with a (guy) pal.

A teaser for Charles

The opening is absolutely brilliant....

Just discovered that there's a Boardwalk Empire soundtrack!

You guys know how much I love old-timey music (see: Beirut, The Petrojvic Blasting Company, etc, etc) The highlight is definitely this Regina Spektor song though.

Prominent British Gingers:
(I don't know what is going on in this photo of Prince Harry but I had to include it)




(oh hey look, Damian Lewis!)



Not A Prominent British Ginger:

Haha, and the first version on youtube I found that wasn't a live rendition was like "HEY THIS SONG WAS ON LUTHER!"

Annnnd I'm back to not being able to sleep

Couldn't fall asleep until after 12pm, awake again at 5am. delightful. Guess I will continue to re-read I capture the castle? was marriage plot any good? should I get that to read? I'm halfway through the first book of the complete sherlock holmes.
