Friday randoms

It is totally the post-Christmas January doldrums these days, but I've managed to stay pretty positive and not get too depressed. There have been a few things to help me out with this:

I just saw the movie Up the other night with Caitlin and we really quite enjoyed it. However, with a storyline like that I am pretty convinced that the writers/creators were on some pretty strong (hallucinogenic) drugs and listening to a lot of Jimi Hendrix. Flying houses? Multicoloured flightless birds? Dogs with talking collars (especially that one Doberman who sounded like Theodore from Alvin & The Chipmunks!), and an insane explorer with a museum in his airship?? Hmm...

I have had Spoon's Gimme Fiction album for quite awhile (thanks to Jimmy the K), but this past week it was like I heard it for the first time and I totally fell in love! It's very quirky, catchy, and at times epic. The string arrangements are also beautifully done. Worth a listen if you've never heard it...

Here are 85 reasons to be thankful for librarians. Awesome.


That's your Friday helping of the Bing Man! Hope you enjoyed it!
