So we're at the neighbor's annual all day/all night cook out, and there's Kareoke, and my lovely bride is badgering me to participate, and I locate D'yer Mak'er on the song list, and they dial it up, and whaddaya know, it's actually Over The Hills And Far Away. My mind is awhirr attempting to recall lyrics not known by heart since I was seventeen years old (which was 20 years ago) as I bring the mic to my lips. I remembered about three lines.
Not fair. Not fair at all.

HM Magazine
A very cool magazine, to which, for some reason now forgotten, I, years ago, stopped subscribing (alright, enough fun with commas)...
Is HM. Once upon a time Heaven's Metal, later repackaged as HM as they expanded their scope to include genres other than, say, these guys:
Yeesh.
Anyway, HM covers a lot of very cool indie Christian bands who will by no means ever be heard on Klove. Not that I've got anything against Klove. I listen to it all the time.
It was through HM that I first heard of awesome bands like Scatterd Few, Savior Machine, and Stavesacre, just to name the ones that start with S.
HM does a semi-monthly podcast. They throw in all kinds of music including deathmetal/grindcore/itallsoundslikethesamecraptome that doesn't jive with my tastes necessarily, but there's also lots of rock/alt/goth/pop/whatever in there that does. Give a listen:

I have always admired Clint Eastwood. I will watch anything he does, even if it involves a travelling Wild West show or lower primates. When I was a kid, the four strongest men in the world as far as I was concerned were Superman, Lou Ferrigno, my dad, and Clint. This interview is a fresh reminder why I like the guy so much.

Yeh, Big Daddy Mac is chillin' with Leon Phelps, and he's got his Couversier...

Don't Stop The Music
Cubbies come from behind to tie it 3-3 against the Pads in the 5th. Why not 9 in a row, guys? You deserve it. Keep right on dancing.
Well, that settles that , then
The Dems choose Obama.
I was born in 1971. Obama was born in 1961. I am no spring chicken, but at 37, something just seems wrong to me about electing someone who is only 10 years older than me (even if that someone weren't as problematic as Obama). Maybe I'm just in denial, but it seems that the presidential candidates should all be more than 10 years my senior for at least the next two elections.
My back hurts.
Seriously, the democrats have said that between a kid who hasn't even served a full term in the Senate (the indictment against Edwards last time around, BTW), and someone who could make a quasi-credible argument that she's had at least SOME political experience in the last two decades, they've chosen the former. There is no logical reason why McCain shouldn't pick this guy apart. Although in recent years, Republicans have shown an uncanny ability to sabotage their own success (Mark Foley, George Allen, Jack Abramoff)...
