jesse jo stark performing "angel from montgomery"... from what i have read about her, she seems like a cool chick.

google art project - it is really nice to be able to look at masterpieces from many museums across the world while sitting in front of your computer.

buying myself stuff off my wishlist

• a new car - mercury sable
• holga split image filters
• holga lens and filter holder - which i'm not entirely convinced is going to work over my dslr lens, but where there is a will there is a way. i might have to purchase a holga lens for my canon.
• 5 pound kettlebell - because i'm going to lose all the baby weight and then some before auden turns 1. i was surprised by how much that kettlebell workout kicked my ass even after only 10 minutes... and there i thought that 5 pounds wasn't going to be heavy enough.
• led zeppelin | mothership
