Rapid-fire
One of those amazing moments when all five of us here at home had been in our own little worlds (two asleep even), but somehow ended up in the same room at the same time for a few minutes of perfection. Yes, at 2:00am, lucid and laughing about who knows what. Stepping out from his college finals week cave, one of the roommates deadpanned, “There’s too much fun going on out here. I can’t be miserable… having a hard time being depressed.” Laughed some more before we all dispersed again. Tis the little things… love this house.
TV’s been on in the background while we’re labeling / stamping envelopes for Christmas cards… there’s a commercial for a pen! Because that’s a product necessitating post-midnight advertisement. Followed by a commercial for “The Clapper”, and after a commercial break-commercial break, it’s “The Clapper Plus” featuring a remote. Boy oh boy!
Amusing quick read of the evening: Readers by Author – Stereotyping People by Their Favorite Author, from Lauren Leto’s blog.
And then this video as the must-see of the evening (morning?). Considered the opening song a take it or leave it at first non-live listen several months ago, but then he played it like this at the beloved Hotel Cafe back in October. Was a little dumbstruck, to say the least. Someone recorded the video below during one of Bobby Long’s concerts last week, almost exactly the way I remember it from the Hotel Cafe show. It’s one hell of a medley, a rather piddly sounding word for such passionate playing. In case I haven’t said it enough, Bobby Long is insanely talented. Simple as that.
