       OMG, that must be so funny!

       CBtE has his own ring on my phone….it’s that nuclear meltdown alarm.  I giggle everytime I hear it and see the “Sid and Nancy” picture of he and his friend Margaret flash on the display.

       I didn’t realize Flight of the Conchords had made it to the US until I saw their series at the video store.  Until then I thought they were still an antipodean phenomenon.  “Business Time” is my favorite song, followed closely by the Humans are Dead.  The “binary solo” always makes me laugh.

       I’m a big fan of the Roaches as well.

       If you’ve got the time and the bandwidth I’d suggest watching all of the Kransky Sisters youtube vids – if only to catch a glimpse of the toilet brush percussion instrument and the musical saw.

         How could I have forgotten An Engineers Guide to Cats?

         We use “corporal cuddling” with Hector, but he’s silent so it’s not as much fun.

   If you love Iz’s song, Over the Rainbow, you’ll find this story about it entrancing.

   Sorry it’s an old song, but I’ve probably listen to it over a hundred times now.

   Look inside your heart, and I’ll look inside mine.
   Make me a higher love.
