In an unlikely (I think) twist of fate ('s knife in my back), one of my OTHER favorite bands will be on this side of the pond at the same time as Mumford & Sons. Not only that, but they will tour with them for half the trip. The half, of course, that isn't my half.

Mt. D is a pretty new band. It contains a few members of some other bands that I deeply & truly adore (and stalk on a regular basis). These bands aren't exactly overwhelmed by international fans so they spend ...

It's been a while since I last shot some fireworks. There's an "international" fireworks festival here every year, so more then enough opportunity. I simply watched last year, no camera there. And the year before I took a few pics, but nothing serious. But I'm back! I shot some pics two nights in a row. Missed the first due to working (very) late and some last minute decisions.

How about tomorrow? Is there a way I can look up past rainfall for my area rather than predicted future? (As an aside, you'd think it'd be much easier to ...

This month has been crazy. I've still not fully recovered. I've got clean and dirty laundry...everywhere. I've got a halfpainted dresser in the garage, rolled up posters in various corners of my house and my car looks like I eat WAY more McDonalds than I actually do. By this time next month, I'm still not sure I'll have recovered from the insanity-especially the way my work schedule has been. But I know it'll all be worth it.

Something happened this last month that I never in a ...
