Today as we were listening to Vampire Weekend in the car, I mentioned to Leah that I was surprised to notice on SNL a few weeks ago that the lead singer is white. A little while later she said "I wasn't as surprised to find out that he is white as I was to find out that Rick Astley is white."

I'm thinking Red Stag Supper Club, Modern Café, or Erté.

I'm home sick today. Leah says I don't know how to have a day off, because I got up when she did, but 1) getting up when she leaves for work still means sleeping 2 hours later than I normally do, and 2) I couldn't bear the thought of being in the house with a weekend's supply of germy tissues, so I got up to take out the trash. Now that I have done ( Read more... )
