Remember When I Used To Post More Than Once a Week? Ah, Those Were the Days.

Oh, pretty blogaroo, how I have neglected you. Please don't be mad. I still love you! I've just got other stuff going on, you know? But I have a present for you: A list of bullet points! I knew you'd like it. You know as well as I do that coherent paragraphs and transitions are for losers.

* This is old news for those of you who read Mickey's blog, but we went to see Over the Rhine last week at the historic Bijou Theater in downtown Knoxville, and it was delightful. It was our second concert in less than a week. We are such party people! If you're not familiar, Over the Rhine is a sort of throwback jazzy/bluesy band that seems like something F. Scott Fitzgerald would have listened to, and their lead singer has one hell of a voice. You know how some bands sound fine on their albums but when you see them live they sound like a bunch of dying cats? I hate that. But Over the Rhine is the real deal. Also, the nearly century-old Bijou is not only beautiful, but legendary for its perfect acoustics. It was definitely the tamest concert I've ever been to, but also one of the best.

* Once again, my sidebar is begging for your attention. Last night we went to a gathering of blogfriends and peripheral blogfriends on the roof of one of the downtown buildings, which was super fun. In attendance were Em (who we'd already met), Stan, Robert, and The Pol from The Sunsphere is Not a Wig Shop, along with their friends and significant others, all of whom are lovely people. Now the only Wig Shop personnel we haven't met is CK, but we did see him once, so I'm counting that as proof all of them actually exist. Please note that the Wig Shop has been moved up into the territory of Real Life friends in my blogroll. Whee! It is a bit bittersweet, however, because most of these people will be leaving Knox Vegas pretty soon (a lot of them are moving en masse to St. Louis, ironically, where I just turned down a job offer. Apparently that arch is a vortex that sucks in people from East Tennessee.) Anyway, I'm glad to have met all of them.

* Has anyone seen the documentary The King of Kong? It's about the world record holder for Donkey Kong and another guy who arguably should be the world record holder. Basically it comes down to whether the high score should belong to the guy who beat the record in public, in front of an audience, as opposed to the guy who only mailed in a videotape of himself breaking the record. It's a pretty entertaining movie, if for no other reason than to laugh at the mega-geeks that take video games seriously. I recommend it.

* If you are a fan of The Office (and if you're not, you should be, idiot) you should go check out Jenna Fischer's MySpace page. Recently she had a little Q&A session with her readers and wrote a bunch of stuff about The Office, her movie career, and her life in general. Of course, I didn't submit any questions because I prefer to keep my distance from MySpace, but I think it's really cool when a famous person takes the time to connect with her fans like that. Jenna seems like a nice and approachable person (although, having never met her, I can't be entirely sure. She could be a raving bitch for all I know. But if that's the case, she hides it well.)

* We're going to a wedding next weekend and I am having a fashion dilemma. But I think I'll milk that into a full post tomorrow. I assume you'll be on the edge of your seats until then.
