First: J, Janet, and Cal moved on out to the burbs (Pikesville, yo), and we had the pleasure of brunching with them last weekend. The new house is freaking fantastic and utterly bizarre in totally good ways. The best way being that the main living spaces are on one floor, so Cal (and for the moment, his back-challenged parents) will no longer have to contend with the hundreds of stairs that comprised the better part of their living space back in Butcher's Hill. J has posted about the new pad here.
Second: I got my knee surged! Yes, after a stupid work-related injury (I define hanging out with my neighbors and playing sports that we're all too old and enfeebled to engage in "work"), I required some rad surgery on the old left knee. For those really deep into the Jawbox trivia, it is indeed the same knee that was featured on the cover of the Tongues/Ones and Zeros seven inch from 1992. And you're a nerd if you read that last sentence and knew or cared what I was talking about. Sorry, cheese. I have posted about it at length and with pictures on my guerrilla blog, the Barbotian Ocean 2.0.
Go off and be wicked, but Santa's watching, so not too wicked. Listen: Menomena, Radiohead (yes, believe the hype, the new record is great, shut up haters), The Thermals, Tokyo Police Club. God bless us everyone.
