La Musique de Notre Matin

Happy Friday, everyone! Happy holiday weekend! Jon used to call Friday Free-I-Day, and today, both Sue and I are feeling like that. Looking forward to a long weekend without many responsibilities.

We do have the roofer coming tomorrow at 8AM to remove/cover our "skylight" in the attic (and do some other stuff), and two companies in the afternoon coming to give us their spiels about fiber cement siding, but besides that... IKEA, a Paw Sox game, maybe a potluck with Sue's intern buddies.

Modest Mouse's Building Nothing Out of Something is la musique de notre matin. I've heard some of their recent stuff, and they are the definition IMO (compu-speak for "in my opinion") of losing one's mojo. Probably they got signed and saddled with a company stooge producer or something. At least we have Building Nothing - a pre-bigtime, scrumptuous, aural delicacy - to listen to.

Love the blog you two. Really makes me want to buy a house that has been newly constructed though. Also where the heck did you take a picture of that horse?

Hey, Katie! New houses definitely have their charms.

The New Museum. On a recent trip to New York City, I got cautioned by a security lady for taking that horse picture.

Mr. Hackworth and I, and I think A-Bomber agreed, many of the exhibits were pretty goofy. The building itself was ridiculously nice, and ironically, the best part I felt was the view from the roof-deck.
