I killed my dinner with karate, kick 'em in the face, taste the body...

I can't stop listening to Joanna Newsom.  I would guess that most people wouldn't like her voice, but I think her music is beautiful.

The Book of Right On  (sorry about the link, I can't figure out how to embed youtube videos haha).

I've also rediscovered Marquee Moon.  Both the song and the album are so amazing, Television reminds me of a certain time in my life that I don't mind revisiting for brief periods.  Speaking of television haha, we got cable again today!  Now I know you're not supposed to talk about loving cable, since the cool thing to do is to not watch it haha, but I like cable.  Especially TLC and HGTV.  Good times.  I gave the no cable thing a try for the last month because I thought Jason was right that it's not necessary and that it just takes away from other activities.  But I discovered that I do the same things with or without tv, I just find it relaxing and comforting in the background.  Yesterday I went to the pool and it was actually warm enough to get in and swim around a little.  Mainly I've been trying to decide what our first steps should be as far as the house.  I'm hoping we can paint the entryway and living room when my mom and Bob are here.  I really want to do something that will scream "this is our house!" haha.  I've picked a blue-gray color with white trim.  In the entryway I'd like to paint one wall a different color- I can't decide between blue-green and a pale raspberry.  I also want to get new mini blinds for the downstairs, curtains for the living room, and these two decorative accents.  These in lilac and white for the entryway, and this for the wall in the living room.  I think it's beautiful, and I've never seen a deer with such large ears.  It looks like a rabbit haha.  And, just for good measure, I'll show off one of the items on my birthday list (if Jason doesn't feel like thinking of anything on his own haha), probably for our bedroom.  It's a splurge, I know, but it's so beautiful and unusual, I just really want it.  In addition, I have finished four houses on my embroidered pillow, and am started on a fifth.  Just five more houses and four trees!
