the sound of a heartbeat pounding away

asimplechord+ 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?
