Luckily, Mom's school is not on this list, nor are any schools I recognize. I'd be heartbroken if they closed Dillard Elementary. They have the best teachers:

Big Deal

So my ex-coworker played live on Conan. I am not jealous. I swear.

Last Few Day Roun' Here

Sofia is still growing strong. Well I guess the baby is growing. He/She is a wild one.



Sofia went crazy and bought tons of cheese. Who knows why....maybe the recession is getting to her....thought she might stock up just in case there was some kind of run on cheese.



The weather was perfect this weekend. This photo was taken seconds before I jumped from the bridge into the creek.



Taxes. Gross.



The Ginger Man closed. Fear not. They are opening in their new location (half a block away) in two days. This was closing day. They had Saint Arnold's Whiskey Barrel-aged Imperial Stout on cask



Our crib came today! Stay tuned for pictures of the beast put together.

Baby Shower

Better late .... right?

WHY?

Fast forward four years. The kid's gonna be bugging me all the time: why this, why that. Thank God we live in the future. "Google it boy (or girl)."

Food Report: Brownsville

I demanded a new restaraunt. Eric came through. The menu.

We are in Brownsville for a baby shower this weekend. I stumbled upon this photo. Five and half years can age a brother. Check out Pop's earing. Ha.

The Del Castillo's threw us a mini shower of sorts.



Yeah! A baby tub!



And a cake for me.



Oreo. Double Stuffed. hahahahahhahahahha! Man, I'm cracking myself up here.

NEW SONIC YOUTH!

Sonic Youth's 16th album, 'The Eternal', will be released on vinyl, compact disc, and digital album by Matador Records on June 9. Produced by John Agnello and the band, 'The Eternal' not only marks Sonic Youth's return to the independent label sphere (titles on their own SYR label excepted) after a long association with Geffen, but more importantly, ranks as one of their more inspired efforts in a 28 year career.

This guy kind of disapeared. I still like him. Happy Friday!
