Just in case you forgot, it's only two weeks until my birthday. In case you wanted to get me something and were torturing yourself about what, may I offer two lists I compiled?

i want to getaway

2008-06-11T00:36:22Z

I need to go somewhere...preferably outside of the country, but I'm willing to go domestic. I have tax refunds burning a hole in my pocket...now all I need is a travel companion...

WHO WANTS TO TRAVEL WITH ME???

the swell season

2008-05-22T00:41:14Z

Monday night we went to see The Swell Season (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova) sing most of the songs from Once and some excellent extras.

The following are some notes in my head...

- Could Marketa Irglova be any cuter? She looked like a little doll. And she brought her sister up to sing....so cute!!!

- Glen is an intelligent, funny, articulate, witty, handsome man.

- Seriously!?!? A three-hour set...straight through...!?!?!

- The connection between those two is electric.

- Two Van Morrisson covers!

- A Radio City Music Hall sold out and interactive crowd.

- He compared the human heart to a lion driving a train on ice into rocks.

- Acoustics! Glen sang a song with no microphone. Just him and the guitar and it could be heard throughout the building.

- I love the Irish! Boys especially!
