is getting her own show on CNN according to this Variety article. Awesome! I was a fan even before Rory Gilmore was.

Speaking of politics and cultural affairs, this joint session of Congress is intense; they’re quite a rowdy bunch in the House. I did however appreciate Nancy Pelosi’s immediate angry glare at the guy who yelled “(You?) Lie!” Some of these politicians need to go back to Emily Post School of Manners.

Finished this weekend: This American Life Season 1 and Veronica Mars Season 2.

It’s been awhile…sorry about my absenteeism. New jobs + the end of summer = major schedule change and exhaustion. I have been planning to write about The Breeders show, now that was awhile ago. But so, so good. There’s something about that band that really gets me live, I think with the added nostalgia factor the chemicals align and I feel so happy that they’re in front of me playing songs that I played over and over in high school (and beyond).

Their set list was amazing! It was as if they asked me what I wanted to hear before the show and then came out and played those songs. Ones that I specifically remember being excited about are: Hoverin (opened with this, which is actually an Amps song but I loved that album too), Tipp City (Amps), No Aloha, Iris, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Divine Hammer, Driving on 9, Cannonball, Saints, Do You Love Me Now, and Flipside.

p.s. I forgot my camera, so credit goes to Cody on the photo. Thanks!
