A few random thoughts while people filter back to the internet after a nice long, hot summer off...
- First off, speaking of North Carolina music, Jamie Block will be playing a reunion show at Arlene's Grocery tomorrow night at 11pm sharp. Sadly, I will not be attendance to bring you the melodious violins and scrumptious piano chords evident on "The Last Single Guy," but I can guarantee he'll break a few strings en route to a glorious evening of twisted, anti-folk, folk, sample-infused pop.
- Secondly, a heartfelt "happy birthday" to Lindsay Bowen, who turned thirtysomething this weekend.
- Speaking of all of the above, two of my fave people, pictured in yesterday's blog, are having kids right as we speak. Clay Boyer and wife Amber just had a wonderful li'l tyke named Jacob - and Matt McMichaels' wife Carrie is currently a week late and counting. Huzzah to kids and the mothers that bear them!
- Speaking of kids that mothers have borne, Lucy's language skills have taken off in the last month; however, her translations are so endearing that I try (mostly in vain) to record them on video. From the first week of her life, I always referred to her pants as "pantaloons" because I was (and am) reading the Aubrey/Maturin seafaring series by Patrick O'Brian. Now she knows all pants as "pantaloons"... but pronounces it "pantapoon."
In this clip, I ask her what garment I'm holding, and she replies "Daddo's pantapoon." Maybe I'm the only one who think that is heartbreaking, but it took weeks of carrying around the camera to capture it, so I'm posting it!

My wife is in love with Lucy. Great clip.
Yay! I don't know what you did, but I can finally open one of your movie clips. So cute. :)
Oh my god, it HURTS. My chest HURTS it's so cute. My entire OFFICE is in love with Lucy. The best part of the entire clip is that not only does she uses the apostrophe-S to indicate ownership, but the way her inflection drops at the end to show certainty. Good GRAVY. Seriously, she's ruining babies for the rest of us.
That made my day!
So cute I watched it twice!
Holy mother of Crap, that's amazing.
i think i just watched that 9 times.
ten.
I'm sorry, I've gone back and watched that about every 45 minutes all day. That is some ridiculous shit.
Good grief.
Damn, she is CUUUTTEEE! And I love your laugh. You guys have fun!
Speaking of ten, daddo, doesn't the Arlene's Grocery schedule state that Jamie's playing at 10 (not 11)?
Hmm, Jamie said 10pm. I'd get there at ten to drink a little before the show.
I am most impressed by Lucy's command of the possessive. Wow.
Are you able to save these little movies to some kind of permanent (as much as anything is) medium? Like film? DVD?
What a great reel she will have someday!
That. Is. Adorable.
Also, I'm convinced y'all have the same bedspread my sister has.
oh my goodness Ian - that is too cute!
