So last Thursday we had our second music night. And you like the rest of America are probably wanting to see the play list before it is published in rolling stone magazine. But, sadly there are more important things at play. We need a stinking Nanny. Here is the deal. We can't take care of ourselves. I mean look at us. Music night was last week and I am just now sitting down to write this post. I would have written it earlier, if I didn't have to swim through the piles of filth to get to my desk.
For the sake of all the office employees please apply! I haven't eaten a real meal in over a month.
As soon as we get a nanny you all get real post about really cool music.

Music Night at the Office
Tonight we had the inaugural music night at the office. The office employees and several temps got together to jam and dance the night away. The evenings contributers and play list went as follows:
Meredith Mckinnon: Beirut, Post card from Italy--This song was awesome! One of the best of the night. I felt like I was riding down a street in Europe in July. I have never liked Beirut...until now.
Boy least likely to, Track 8- Hippity hoppity this gave me the soppity.
Barry Lewis Polisar, All I want is you--I felt like I was watching oh, brother where art thou, just give me more of that ol' time country classics!
Gretchen Healey: Slow Reader, Sweetest suffering--Good and mellow. maybe too mellow.
The Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's, Gold Lions. This was also one the nights big winners. It will be played a lot more around the office.
King of Leon, Tapper Jean girl--I have always wanted to like the kings of Leon, but they just make it so hard.
Josiah: The advantage, Ninja Gaiden--This one really took me back to my childhood...when I didn't have a Nintendo.
The Studio, Self Service--I have never heard this before, but Josiah has a way of turning back the clock. I felt like was listening to some sweet 80's music and loving every minute.
Chromeo, Fancy footwork--Every song Josiah chose took us a little further back. He is officially Old Skool.
Andrew Taylor: Josh Goody, Fade out--well let's just say that we were all happy when it eventually faded out.
Michael Jackson, Billy Jean--Can't go wrong with Mike.
Tom Wright: Good Charlotte, I don't want to be in love--I don't want to hear this song again.
M.I.A., Paper Planes-- an office classic. Nothing like a little MIA when you need to bust a cap.
Fuel, Shimmer--"This song sucks"--Meredith Mckinnon. Personally I think Meredith is too nice.
Abinadi: Ricky Gervais, Free Love Freeway--"Were the love is free, and the freeway is long"
Dynamite Hack, boys in the hood--best OG song ever.
armour nacotico, chi chi parta--eisencitekc gteiealiu dtiea tiod!
Gavin Gee: Badly Drawn Boy, Year of the Rat--2008 is the year of the rat!
Okkervil River, Unless it Kicks--This song did kick...the trash out of all these other lame-o songs.
Josh Ritter, To the dogs or whoever--Sooo good. I thought I heard somebody calling...and saying this was the best thing ever.
Chris Bucheit: Ween, Push the little daisy's--Chris picked this because he said "it's the best song ever". This is not the best song of anything...ever.
Rockapella, Sexual healing--...no comment.
My Girlfriend's dead--Flight of the concords has nothing on Chris Bucheit. This song stole the show.
Adam: Osma, Natalie Portman--I was so disappointed that he chose this over the format.
Flight of the concords, think about it--I thought about it...I love flight of the concords.
Allison: Regina Spektor, Just like the movies--nothing like a little Regina to let you chill.
Audio Slave, Doesn't remind me--I was so surprised that the person who chose Regina Spektor also chose audio slave. Usually I don't like audio slave...but I really enjoyed this.
Stephanie: Queen and David Bowie, Under pressure--No school like the old skool, and no one is as old as David Bowie.
Mika, lollipop--best dance song of the night. And the best way to say Stephanie.
Elena: Soldier boy, Crank that--some parts of the night I just try to forget.
Nathan: Baby boy da prince, The way I live--hmm, I don't think this is the way I live, but maybe I should start.
Lindsey: Justice, D.A.N.C.E--Biggest surprise of the night. great song, great video.
Larrisa: Blood hound Gang, It's tricky--It wasn't tricky, it was stinky.
Green day, dominated Love slave--
Rachel: Belle and Sebastian, For the price of a cup of tea--Who doesn't love Belle and Sebastian, Huh, who....I really want to know...who?
Arctic Monkey's, fluorescent adolescence-- Another winner I mean how can't you like a monkey that is freezing in the arctic. It just makes you want to get up and dance.
Elliot: Def Leppard, Love Bites-- I love Def Leppard, and this song bites.
Garbage, number 1 crush--"Garbage, needs no other description"--Meredith
Once the festivities were finished and the dust had settled. The big winners were: Chris Bucheit's rendition of dead girl friend. Meredith's roof raising. Josiah's light bulb lifting. And everyone's booty shaking. For all of you sucka's who missed out, you will have another chance next Thursday...you have 1 day.

Journals?
In an earlier post I mentioned needing an audience, and in an earlier conversation I had with friends we spoke of journals and how some are good at keeping them and others (like me) are not. It's really about the audience. When I was in Brasil, I had a housemate that kept two sets of journals and I would read 'the small plates' set. He, knowing that I was reading them, would write specifically for me and be excited when I commented on what he had written. I started doing the same and it became extremely easy to keep a journal, I had an audience and I could write and have someone other than me appreciate my writings. It came to the point where I would be disappointed when Anj (Elder Aaron Joseph Andersen) was too busy to read my journal and would have to wait a day. We soon had inside jokes that we would leave for the other to find in our respective journals. I imagine that's why so many people keep blogs, it's that hunger for an audience. Except in general, nobody cares if the author took a nap or had a really good slurpee. I guess you just need one or two people that care about you to read it, comment on it, and then write for them. And don't mention any naps. Unless they happened while you were driving.

Tahlia is gone....
Today was Tahlia's last day in Austin. She departed this life (working as a nanny here in Austin) around 5pm today. haha, just kidding. well, not about her leaving, but about it sounding like an obituary.
Last night was great, though. A bunch of people came over, and we had a great poker party. Tahlia was the guest of honor, and other attendees included: Abinadi, Tom, Gavin, Me, Gretchen, Tahlia, Jalaine, and Jesse. I won the first round, and then Jesse won the second round.
But ya, today was a sad day. Tom and I went over to Tahlia's house right before she left to see her off. It will be sad to see her go, because it will mean the end of an era for the office, and the loss of a friend. But, it is a very good thing for Tahlia, because she needs to get back to school.
We can only hope that she will be able to see us again one day. Until then, we will just have to find someone else with a funny accent to make fun of.....
