To make up for the atrocity that I posted this morning (and because I've been very lax in my Song Of The Day posts), you get Santogold:

I have not been able to get this song out of my head for the last 24 hours (and not because it's good, if you have any memory of the 90's). It's very unfortunate, and now I have to unleash it on you. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not.

Yeah, I'm not really good at doing this Song of the Day thing every day. My apologies. I owe you three songs, so you get three songs. By another one of my favorite artists. Today's (and yesterday's, and Monday's) songs are from Apparat.

I decided that I'm going to start posting a song a day. Not necessarily a new song, just something that fits where I am at that time, something that I'm just really feeling. I tend to get obsessed with a song and play it over and over and over in ridiculous repetitions, so it seems healthier to share it instead of keeping it all bottled up ( Read more... )

At the doctor today, we were astonished to find out that Zoe gained yet another pound since last Tuesday's doctor visit. She's now 9 lbs, 4 oz. The doctor looked at her chart and actually laughed and said, "Holy shit!" I guess in the grand scheme of things, she's in the 50th-75th percentile for weight. I immediately started panicking because ( Read more... )
