Earless terrier

Weasel

Poor sweet terrier with no ears! Read "Life's looking merrier for an earless terrier":

His bright eyes and mischievous antics would melt the hardest of hearts.

But this puppy found himself abandoned because he suffered the misfortune of being born with no ears.

Hissing Fauna Are You the Destroyer

Of Montreal's Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? is my favorite album this year, so far, and frankly it's going to be tough to beat, I think.

Best track, for me: "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider", particularly in the "Eva, I'm sorry / But you will never have me..." bit of the chorus, the second time around, when the guitar kicks in: then, "I need a lover with soul power / and you ain't got no soul power", & it's so fantastic that I can't help but smile.

Listen to "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider".

"You're like the Justin Timberlake of Japan..."

The Fast and the Furious - Tokyo Drift

• I have some sort of soft spot for the Fast & the Furious movies. It's strange, because I don't really care about cars. But I loved the first, was sort of disappointed by the second (Paul Walker, absent Vin Diesel, is BORING), but then really loved the third (Tokyo Drift). (I even saw it in the theater.) I've just watched Tokyo Drift again tonight, and it's as good as ever.
• I made this beef stew tonight. I started yesterday by marinating the beef in red wine, olive oil, onions, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. And then I spent about three hours tonight both doing the rest of the recipe & then just watching it cook, trying it out every 15 minutes or so with some bread. It was very, very good, and we've enough left to last some four days.
• Prince was awesome on the halftime show.
