Wheels on Fire
So. Last night Hugh and Randall and Jim and Bill and I went to the opening night of the Gotham Girls Roller Derby. Last night's card: the Wall Street Traitors vs. the Queen City [Buffalo] Furies, then the Gotham Girls All-Stars vs. the Charm City [Baltimore] All-Stars.

Today's Hall & Oates Moment
From the fun-loving kids of Shorewood High School in Shorewood, MN WA: a reverse lip-dub of "You Make My Dreams Come True." Which is to say, an amateur music video shot in a single take and involving a cast of thousands -- and filmed backwards. I know, right?
This is the high school my niece and nephew will attend someday. Clearly, they will be in ( Read more... ) -
