What are You Listening To?

I go through definite musical phases and obsessions.  I love coming up with new themed playlists for my iPod.  I love discovering a new band that I really like.  There's not much that feels better than that little thrill I get when I discover a fabulous new song and it's even better when I discover an amazing band that has multiple albums to explore and enjoy.

So, what am I listening to lately?  I really like the band TV On the Radio.  I discovered this song when I watched the movie The Invisible.  I made a playlist of songs that remind me of the book Twilight and this was at the top of the list:

Weezer finally came out with a new album and they made an extremely clever video starring people who became famous on YouTube:

And my latest favorite is a band called Cloud Cult.  Any band with a cello is cool in my book.  They have an awesome song called "The Deaf Girl's Song":

Why Did We Invent Langauge?

Out of a deep seated need to complain.  So, now for a little whining.

I am home with a headache, two sick kids and a blocked toilet system.  That means we have four females in a house with no working toilet or running water.  Good times.  Gabe can just step out back and pee in the yard.  Not so easy for us. 

The seal on the downstairs toilet is broken so every time anyone runs any water or flushes the upstairs toilet, water leaks all over the floor.  All the grey water is backing up into the downstairs shower which smells just lovely.  I have a great overabundance of wet towels.  All in all, I think I'd rather be at work.

Last night I was making meatloaf.  I turned on the oven to preheat and after a bit started to smell this strange burnt sugar smell mixed with eau du melting plastic.  WTF?  I opened the oven to find half a package of organic sandwich cookies smouldering in the oven.  Yummy.  Maddy decided to hide them from her dad because she thought he was eating more than his share.

Deep sigh.  At least I have brownie bites and fresh coffee.  And there are only six more school days to get through before summer starts.  But I need to pee...
