the sound of a heartbeat pounding away

+ Home again, home again. My in-laws are perfectly nice people, but I am accustomed to my own family's dysfunction. It is familiar, and I can dissociate myself from it or participate as the feeling moves me. It is another thing entirely to be a captive audience to another family's dysfunction. Plus, middle-of-nowhere Iowa for five days. I caught up on sleep. And I read a couple of books. And I wasn't at work, so. Not a total loss.

+ I was expecting my copy of Fast Times at Barrington High to be waiting in the mailbox when I got home, and was sadly disappointed. FBR online store, you FAIL.

+ Rise Against, however, does not. :)

+ Also? Melissa Etheridge was AWESOME. Three hours of her and her band (her guitarist; seriously). Honestly, she could have sung nursery rhymes after she did Bring Me Some Water and The Only One, and I still would have been happy, but I really liked the way she strung songs together (not necessarily in the order they were written or recorded) to tell her story.


What did I miss? I think I could go to skip500 on my f-list after five days and still not be caught up. I'm going through slowly, so link me to anything I should see post-haste, please?

The only thing I can think of that you've missed is FOB's viral marketing shenanigans

*HUGS*

The viral marketing thing has been the only real thing of note lately. Slow week or so.

And yet there are so many other posts! Apparently we are verbose folks no matter what's going on in the world of fandom. :)
