Please also note the seersucker purse. That’s right, I’m back in the
South.

Upon my friend Keith’s recommendation TWO SXSW’s ago, I saw the Seattle band “Throw Me the Statue” at some cramped, teensy, sweaty venue. I think they may have even flung sweat on me, which is basically your indie rock baptism. They’ve recently released a new album – Creaturesque – which I purchased immediately based on the strength of its first single, “Hi-Fi Goon”, a catchy tune that’s been all over XMU, my musical muse. Check it out, then pony up the cash to get the whole album – it’s SOLID.

My coworker recently adopted the sweetest dog I have ever met (LilaBelle, close your ears), a Great Pyrenees named Falcor. He's this huge, galumphing 109 lb. dog with this kind, gentle soul. He comes to work almost every day and I'm guessing it's pretty hard for Jen to get anything done since EVERYONE has to come over and pet him.

Sometimes he even likes to hold hands.

If you’re one my friends that sends me notes and cards and goodies in the mail – which means that there is a 92.6% chance you’re Southern or currently live in the South – THIS will soon be showing up in your mailbox.

Damn. I ruined the surprise. I never *have* been very good with secrets…

 
I’m just pissed that they thought of it before *I* did.
