When people make fun of the internet, they make fun of things like blogging about what you ate, but I’m going ahead with this anyway. And I had a cookie, coffee, and stir fry. So, this morning my friend Jessica (of Heartthrobs and Villains) stopped by on her way to work, and went into my bathroom. When she came out, she commented on how she liked the way the toilet paper rolls matched the birdhouse hole. Y’all have no idea how many years I’ve been thinking that while piling toilet paper around it, and nobody has ever said anything about my little theme. Small joys. Good catch!
Tangent: Does anyone else really dislike The Hold Steady? I like their quirky word choices, but little else. The Current just played their song Your Little Hoodrat Friend, and I could barely stand it beyond liking the word hoodrat. But then they followed up with Luscious Jackson’s ‘Naked Eye’ (you know it: “in my naked eye I saw, the falling rain, coming down on meeeee”, which is much worse. I mean, I know it’s midnight there, but they played David Byrne with the Dirty Projectors before that, so someone has some sense. *Update, they just said with windchill it’s 13* below and the high tomorrow will be around 15*. I’m sorry, Current dj, do what you need to do.

1. You need to make it more obvious. Consider a small nail from which to hang the TP roll, and then cutting dowels to make perches which you then place in the roll. Wa La! TP birdhouse next to real birdhouse
2. Hold Steady are actually really awesome. Listen to “this summer”
1. Nice toilet display. What would really top it off is an actual bird family living in your bathroom.
2. KEXP. They play one Hold Steady song a year, which is great for those of us that are not fans. I listen online almost daily through itunes or at kexp.org. Trust me, you’ll forget about The Current after 4 songs.
