...And We're Back!

Kind of. GSATW is officially on Spring Break (SB2K9!!!), and while one of us is livin' it up, celebrity-style, in LaLa Land, the other is staying low at home, with a quick trip to Austin, TX, home to the University of Texas Longhorns and the only place in Texas where people think this is kind of ridiculous. You can expect pretty frequent postings throughout the week, but for now, a few thoughts from driving 12 hours from Atlanta to Dallas:

*Remember that March Music Madness thing? Well, in the official polling at We Listen For You, Animal Collective narrowly edged out Arcade Fire to take home the championship. A well-deserving champion in the end, and it makes up for some of the more questionable voting decisions throughout the course of the tournament. In case you were wondering, Lil' Wayne was the GSATW champion, also narrowly edging out TV On The Radio. An explanation will happen in the future.

*The McDonald's Egg McMuffin is, and will always be, the undisputed king of breakfast sandwiches. Any debate on this point is a waste of time.

*Is there anything less effective at preventing people from speeding than this sign? Especially when your state ranks 47 out of 50 in education, I'm supposed to believe that aircraft are watching my speed?? Nice try, Mississippi... nice try.

*Check out the site on Wednesday for "What We're Listening To" featuring a bunch of songs from albums that my brother graciously gave me for the trip. Should be a good one.

*Since I've been home, I've watched the season finale of Friday Night Lights (fantastic, as usual), the pilot of Parks and Recreation (decent), and all current episodes of Better Off Ted (surprisingly entertaining). It's been a productive 2 days.

All right... enough rambling. Check back throughout the week for some updates, and until then, have a great night!
