They say the best is for the best...

It's always nice to break out the yearly cookie icon. :)

Holiday Card Post:

I don't know if I'll be hand-making them this year, but if you would like some holiday cheer in the form of a card from my neck of the woods, let me know and drop your address in the comments. Comments are naturally screened. (You are also welcome to PM addresses, if you prefer).

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and that you are being safe on this crazy Friday. I'm off to the library for a few hours of Edgar Sawtelle. ♥

Two songs about love & zombies for this Halloween afternoon.

Man Man is seriously the most interesting and unique music I own. Their Rabbit Habits album is endlessly fascinating to me. I think they must have so much fun making their music.

"Big Trouble"
(yousendit) (sendspace)

Dead Man's Bones is a group I just learned about from Paste, but I'm going to be keeping my ears open for more music from these guys. I really enjoy this trend of having big, rotating choruses. It feels very inclusive and organic.

"My Body's a Zombie for You"
(yousendit) (sendspace)

That's all, folks. I hope you had fun. I'm going to make a poll about the OSaD tomorrow. Happy Halloween!

I know you often find yourself asking this question:

"Is Deborah lame/awesome enough to have made, written and mailed a Christmas Card to Josh Ritter in which she requests that he play 'Lawrence, Kansas' and/or 'Bone of Song' when he comes back to the Aladdin in February?"

The answer, my friends, is yes. December makes me stupid. But it'll be awesome if he actually does it. Yes. I love Josh.

ETA: Someday Cute Waiter Guy at Big River will realize that he's meant to give me beautiful, beautiful babies. He knows my drink order and my usual dinner order. He's ridiculously good looking and can speak knowledgeably about wine with my folks. He told me I should go up to the winery by Enchanted Forest this summer and do the Grape Stomp they have every year. He shall be mine. *sigh* Seriously, Global Orgasm Day.
