Sing Us A Song, A Song to Keep Us Warm

It is odd that I feel compelled to issue some sort of apology for not writing since last Wednesday, but between Sing Song Season being in full effect and a trip to the ATX, my writing has fallen by the wayside.

Congratulations to Ms. Heidi Hipp for correctly naming "Lift" from Flickerstick as the Song of the Day from last Wednesday.

As usual during a trip to Austin, I was able to partake in the divine gift that is Chuy's.
I realize that in Texas, it is almost easier to have an argument about football than to sort out the Best Tex-Mex in the state, but Chuy's is very close to the top of my list. It is one of those little treats that I look forward to when visiting Austin, plus it is always nice to eat somewhere that the Bush Twins have been busted for trying to purchase alcohol when they were still underage. You cannot put a price on that type of history.

On the way back from Austin yesterday, we had Jon's iPod hooked into the car stereo, which is always a fun opportunity to compose an interesting soundtrack for the drive. There is probably no way to objectively prove this, but Chumbawumba's "Tupthumping" had to be the most annoying song of the entire decade of the 90's, along with being one of the first songs that made me realize how some radio stations must be staffed with people who want to see where our personal breaking points are by replaying said songs. With all of that said, the song is still somehow strangely satisfying, almost like hearing Gilbert Godfried talk. A paradox indeed.

I almost wished that I cared about the Super Bowl this Sunday. Let me try to work up the effort to do it..........nope, it's not happening.
