My webiness has waned in the last few weeks, but I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was just 'net overload that made me back off from facebook, twitter, urbis, and this very blog. The thing is, I didn't really even realize that I was doing it, and I didn't miss them much. I'll try to remedy that by stuffing as many links as possible in this post.
Tuesdays are climbing back up on my list of favorite weekdays. Since we've got fancy cable now, BBC America is my go-to channel. Besides Gordon Ramsay yelling at every chef in the UK, they've got comedy night on Tuesdays. The 1st show is
Coupling, which I've seen before, followed by my current favorite show
Not Going Out (I had an instant crush on Lee Mack and am still trying to figure out exactly how that happened.), with
Absolutely Fabulous bringing up the rear. Apparently AF was a very popular show in its day, but I've got to admit that I just don't get it yet. I'm still watching to see if I will understand it one day. If someone told me they arranged for me to live in England, I'd take the offer in a second.
The other reason Tuesday are great? New music! This morning before work I picked up Coldplay's new cd. I saw Coldplay last time they came to the city, and they're coming back this summer. Friday night is the
KC Clifford concert/cd release, and next Tuesday
Great Big Sea's new cd should be arriving in my mailbox from our northern neighbors (Canada, not Kansas). I would love, love, love to see them live, but I have a feeling that would require a special trip north for my favorite Canadians; they don't seem to do much touring outside of the Northern states.
It's full-on storming here today, with lightning and thunder and flooding roads. My favorite weather, actually. And today's soundtrack is brilliant.
