"Friday Night Lights" gets Salon's "Buffy" award for the most underappreciated show of the year.

Yay! Though the letters were mildly upsetting.

Today is a musicy day.

1. Elvis is on Terri Gross talking about the rerelease of My Aim is True.

2. Last night we went to see the video DJ (I would need at least three whole posts to 'splain how very awesome he is. We saw LL Cool J, The Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's, The Ramones, Pat Benetar, Dirty Vegas and a bunch of others I'd never heard of- which reminds me, has anybody heard of or seen a video that's kind of 50's style line drawings and there's a moustache that flies around and makes everything pink? I keep asking the DJ the name and always forget the next morning).

3. A sample of last night:

Now it smells like ass and Sweet Tarts. What?

I even know your birthdate and address, but despite the many times we have shared a bed, you weren't fool enough to give me your SSN.

I'll have to find a good hiding places for my documents before I sleep with you again.

Ooh, Daisy, I'd heard (and see a drag performance) to Frontier Psychiatrist, but never seen a video. Just as bizarre as the song...

[edit: and this is an awesome mashup of that song and Crazy]

Lisah, I love that dress!

I got a little nudge about my internet use. (Not never, but not so much.) So I'll be around more sporadically. Maybe. I am also applying for a couple of jobs...so the at work surfing may go down to nill.

Lisa, you could just number the balloons 85-99 to imply the existence of the rest of them.

It is! There's another one by them that's also strange and a little sad.

Since I Left You

I'm not sure what brand, but I would put my dollar on Jimmy Dean.

Chocolate chip waffle sausage on a stick!!!

ah! That is a very good plan. If I have time I also may blow some other cheap balloons up and scatter them on the stage so I can kick them around like she does in the video.

Fairly spoilery FNL 2.1 promo pics.

Shall I link to individual non-spoilery ones?

Luftballons!

I can sing it in German! I can also sing the song on the album that sort of partnered this one, Leuchtturm.

At 1:30 p.m. our Tech Services Dept has invited all the staff for an ice cream social, for which I made hot fudge and butterscotch sauces last night. My kitchen smelled like a candy factory, and it was good.
