Garbage ~ Stupid Girl
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLY0X_eY3OY[/youtube] When I was deciding which “G” group to use for this weekly feature, the three that came to mind most readily were Green Day, Garbage, and Goo Goo Dolls. I chose Garbage to make Ted and Maya happy, because Shirley Manson is the lead singer, and she was a recurring character (evil Terminator type…or was she really evil?) on The Sarah Conner Chronicles. Which of course brings up bitter feelings around here, because Fox cancelled Sarah Conner, but kept Dollhouse. What’s with that? Idiots.

Out Stealing Horses
In the meantime, I am spending my days getting this place in order. There is quite a lot that needs doing. I did not pay much for it. In fact, I had been prepared to shell out a lot more to lay my hands on the house and the grounds, but there was not much competition. I do understand why now, but it doesn’t matter. I am pleased anyway. I try to do most of the work myself, even though I could have paid a carpenter, I am far from skint, but then it would have gone too fast. I want to use the time it takes. Time is important…

Lie to Me(me) ~ Seven Deadly Sins
(graphic from movie ‘seven’ found here) Amuirin tagged me for this delicious meme, one where we get to have a little fun, as long as we tell no truth. Here are the rules: Sometimes you can learn more about a person by what they don’t tell you. Sometimes you can learn a lot from the things they just make up. If you are tagged with this Meme, lie to me. Then tag 7 other folks (one for each deadly sin) and hope they can lie. Pride What is your biggest contribution to the world? I invented the question mark. Envy What do your coworkers have that you wish was yours?…

Thursday 13 Randomness
I have a lot of little things buzzing around in my head, nothing really worth a post on its own, probably, so let’s see if there are enough of them for a Thursday 13, shall we? (It’s not a book TT, but I just took the graphic from the official TT site.) 1. Wow, not only did one partner from Nibblers come by and comment, now the chef did as well! I’m impressed by their dedication, and I’m pretty sure we’ll be going back for a second try. 2. I had a job interview for a job that I wanted yesterday, and the recruiter told me right then and there…

Nibblers
Saturday night, Ted and I decided to try a little place near us called Nibblers. It’s located in a strip mall in the next town over, and I really like the idea of the place. They do sustainable food, and it’s all local and very fresh. As much as possible, they get their ingredients from the local Farmers’ Markets. As a matter of fact, I found out about Nibblers a year or so ago when they opened, and they had a booth at the Farmers’ Market, where they were giving out really yummy samples of something or another on a corn chip, and I’ve wanted to try it out ever…

Frou Frou ~ Holding Out for a Hero & Let Go
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvRveRCx-lM[/youtube] Any Bjork fans out there? We used to listen to a lot of Bjork, both on her own and as a member of The Sugarcubes. Frou Frou reminds me of a cross between Bjork and the electronica songs by Everything But the Girl. I think the first song I heard them perform was a remake of “Holding Out for a Hero”, which I believe was on the Shrek 2 soundtrack. I immediately recognized the song as being from “Footloose”, because I not only saw the movie a million and one times way back when, but I owned the “Footloose” soundtrack. I went looking for a youtube video, and couldn’t…
