The Dead Milkmen's song was all I could think about during the credits.

I don't know about that. I am totally with Barry in this case. I hated Dirty Dancing, but loved Footloose. But I think we can all agree that both had great soundtracks.

I loved that book so much.

They seem to be expanding, so maybe you'll get one! The one in Omaha only opened in November; before that the closest were in Kansas City (3 hours) or Denver (7 hours). I was stoked when we got one.

Took a break from Grace Jones’ memoir to read In the Woods by Tana French for my book club. I had actually already read In The Woods a few years ago on my own, but I honestly didn’t remember much other than a vague recollection of overarching plot (cop investigates murder possibly related to disappearance of his…

I started reading Grace Jones' autobiography, which is interesting so far. It's definitely more conversational than most, and she circles around to the same point, but still good. I haven't gotten very far in yet, though.

Oh, man, Try Whistling This is such a perfect album.

She's My Baby is the song that made me a Mazzy Star fan. So awesome.

Sharon Jones' version of What Have You Done For Me Lately is fantastic!

Hey, you added Siouxsie to your iPod. Yay!

Haven't had much time for reading lately, so have still been reading Furiously Happy. Should finish tonight. Just keeps getting funnier. Last night, I ended up reading the whole chapter about the felt vagina (it's an educational tool!) out loud to my partner because I laughed so much.

All the upvotes for Julie Brown. I love the Goddess in Progress EP.

One of my teachers was very big on the scholarly interpretation, and generally wouldn't accept any other interpretation, even if you could support it with reasoning. He asked for comments at the end of a short story unit, and I (stupidly) commented that I didn't see the point in bothering to read anything since he…

I paused reading Furiously Happy to read my book club selection, My Ántonia by Willa Cather. I believe I had read O Pioneers in college, but never My Ántonia, and now I’m a little sad I waited this long. It was just beautifully written, and a great portrait of the plains at the turn of the 20th century. My partner,…

I'm a slacker today, because I stayed home sick and have been binging season 5 of The X-Files. Loving all the other shuffles, though.

Oh, I love Woman King. One of those songs I can never listen to just once.
