For You Tonight

Tonight all I have are bits:

Megan, the kids, and I watched Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. My son Gavin kept asking when somebody was going to get their eyes torn out by a bird. The Birds is pretty cool.

My Christmas wish: starting the day after Thanksgiving I want to watch a Christmas-themed movie every night leading up to Christmas. That ought to be fun!!! Home for the Holidays, Elf, Its a Wonderful Life, etc., etc. Any suggestions on Christmas movies? I need to fill up my Netflix que now so that I'm prepared.

"Your hair was long when we first met..." My sons both got their hair cuts this weekend. They both have fairly long hair. Elijah's hair is below his shoulders. Gavin's is shoulder length. Megan brought it up above their shoulders. Our kids are totally going to be skater punks. A few years ago we were at Loose Park in Kansas City. Elijah was 5. He was playing in a huge sand box with other kids. Some kid told him his favorite music was The Wiggles and asked Elijah "What's your favorite music." He nonchalantly says Bad Religion and keeps digging in the sand.

I like Beirut.

That's it...that's all I got.

But I've been using partial song lyrics for my blog post titles. So, here's some breadcrumbs that will help you name the artist for my Song-Lyric Title: this band's singer is, besides being super famous, also featured in The Pixies documentary Pixies. This one's pretty easy.
