Heroes
Pirates, people with hooks instead of hands, and Creed Bratton. See also: Chester A. Arthur. He had a lot of pants.
About me: I fought in double-yuh double-yuh two. And I didn't kill Hitler with my bare hands so you damn kids could put rings through your damn noses.
It's like John Lennon said, "life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." And he got shot.
Who I'd like to meet: Chester A. Arthur, Lionel Richie (if I were to have a Super Sweet 16, he would be the performer - THIS IS A HINT, PEOPLE), Bea Arthur, John Hodgman, people who like to knit, people who like to read, people who like lists, people who like the same things I like.
I'm glad we got a chance to crochet our little hearts out on Saturday. Keep me posted on all your amazing crochet goodies you are sure to start pumping out!
If you were from Barcelona then you would have lived near the Pyrenees mountain range, which Colin Meloy has sung about. Perhaps it would have been YOUR gypsy uncle.
Also, if you were from Barcelona, you might have seen some Olympic events in 1992.
b-if you were from Barcelona your king would be Juan Carlos I, since November 22, 1975. Also, your economy would be the ninth largest worldwide and the fifth largest in Europe (per the World Bank).
If you were from Barcelona (and were still living there) you would be in the Central European Time Zone and would be 1522 km away from Budapest, Hungary.
Buuut I'm not sure they do change their sound every album. I feel like Execution of All Things and Take Offs and Landings sounded the same as one another, and More Adventurous was more produced but still had acoustic qualities of old. I fear, based on hearing two songs so far, that this next one will sound completely over-produced with no reflection on the past, more tried-and-true acoustic sounds!!
Sorry I'm posting from HPZ - I'm too lazy to sign in under my other name.
I'm sorry I ruined the hen for you. But it was kind of worth it. Thanks for the ice cream. you are my favorite current roommate in chicago. Because I've webbed you and you know what that means *wink*
