Toast Messenging!!??
This product allows you to leave a message on a piece of toast!
Let's Talk Friday Night Lights!
*The new bass player Devin (seen above) in Landry's band is a great new character addition and her rendition of the Flaming Lips' She Don't Use Jelly was just precious.
*Loved the self loathing Tyra moment Landry had!
*I'm intrigued by the inter-tangling conflicts that arise between the Principal wife and Football coach husband.
*The way Mrs. Taylor's character described to the full backs parents why playing football mattered really hit home what sports should be and hopefully is all about more than we know.
*Watching the life stuggles the Street character has to deal with makes me realize that there are many real life 'Streets' out there that are among us everyday.
*Watching the Riggins 'highlight video' was surprisingly a touching moment.

The Teenagers>>Make It Happen
The Teenagers are a French synthpop band that formed in 2005 kind of by mistake when a song they made called 'Homecoming' (meant to be a joke) became a hit. Now calling London home, they are promoting their first full length album, Reality Check. Critics have noted their self-aware and intelligent lyrics and praised their lush, danceable pop music. Their quirky fashion sense is inspired by the eccentric East London style, and copied by their dedicated cult fan base!

Here is an Obama idea that I hope he does make happen!
U.S. Media exhausted from grueling task of dictating Presidential election outcome
Thanks Derf!
Here is a site that will let you check out
700 different front pages from
66 different countries
like this one from Jamaica.
HISTORY, GRACE, and CLASS-America at its finest...
"A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him. To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love. In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance. But that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend him for achieving. This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight."---John McCain

Josh Rouse>>Quiet Town
Josh Rouse is a brilliant singer/songwriter from Nebraska, though he launched his music career in Tennessee. Often flying under the radar in the land of singer/songwriters, Rouse has been able to stand out with his soothing sounds and introspective lyrics brought on by his traveling experiences. The mood of this song seemed fitting now that this amazing election is over.

The Hold Steady/Drive-by Truckers>>Burnin' For You
I still don't think the group of 12 of us that went down to Louisville to see the opening night of the "Rock and Roll Means Well" tour have completely recovered. It was a great night and toward the end the lead signer of the Truckers came on stage with The Hold Steady to help perform the Blue Oyster Cult classic, 'Burnin' For You.' Someone got good, steady footage, and it is definitely worth sharing.
