Featuring two songs this weekend by Swedish songwriter Jens Lekman.  The first song for whatever reason cuts off the last 30 seconds or so, but you get the idea.  A perfect pop song that makes me want to dance and wish my only friends weren’t songs.

Jens Lekman – Friday Night At The Drive-In Bingo
Jens Lekman – Sky Phenomenon

I would encourage everyone to dig deeper into his quirky catalog.  Especially the song “I Am Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You” Spoolwork Remix

ran into a friend of mine from high school …. …

I’ve always wanted a garden …. When I was younger, my parents let me plant seeds and set aside a little plot in the backyard.
But, I think maybe that’s a post for another day.
Right now, Andrew and I are just trying not to kill 2 plants out on our balcony that gets almost ZERO direct sunlight. Both these plants live on the half-wall of our patio. The patio faces almost exactly true north, so the only direct sunlight we get is REALLY EARLY in the morning and all the way …
