Radiohead - Myxomatosis - 09 May 2008 - Charlotte, NC (full)

These are the dance moves I was talking about. The audio isn't so great in this video, but at the show it was amazing.

15 Step - Radiohead Charlotte, NC

Aaron is DONE with law school!! He took his last final Thursday and Friday we drove down to the Radiohead concert in Charlotte NC. It was an AWESOME show, the BEST I've ever been too. If you watch the clip you may be able to catch some of Thom York's crazy dance moves. They alone would have made the trip worth it to me. The lights were amazing, the music was amazing, the show was amazing.
I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate law school's end. Dancing with Aaron all night under the stars made me think I might have my husband back!

Theo Jansen - Kinetic Sculptor

Dutch artist-engineer Theo Jansen constructs these self-sustaining "creatures" that live and move using only energy from the wind. All of the automation is independent of machinery or computers, it's pure kinetic power which I think is really exciting.
There are several more youtube videos about his work that I think are really fascinating and worth checking out.

Blueberry

I recently came across a new flavor of herbal tea: blueberry! It's delicious and makes really wonderful iced sweet tea. I've already gone through three boxes. It has my highest recommendation. It's healthy and tastes kind of like kool-aid for grownups or the nectar of the gods.

The Killer in Your Backyard

As a kid I had this fascination with praying mantises. They were my favorite insect and I was always impressed by how "tough" they are, but I think I underestimated them. They're ferocious! I found this account when I was looking up information on hummingbirds yesterday. Looks like this little hummingbird underestimated the threat too and he ended up lunch. Poor guy.

Barn Swallow

Here is one of the little paintings I made for the market.

Lot 58

Steve and I will be selling little bird paintings at the C-ville Farmer's Market this coming Saturday morning. We will be in lot 58 and we'd love to see friendly faces while we're there. I'll try to post a scan of one of our paintings later tonight.
