Kalimba (aka Thumb Piano) Orchestra

Tonight I saw a whole orchestra of Giant Kalimba's (a traditional Zimbabwe instrument. )
These things are HUGE. I've never seen thumb pianos this big or elaborate before. Very fun.

Hindi

yay! languages!

D.A.'s House Warming

One of the highlights.
We named it "sad old man bread face" ... which is more a string of descriptive words than a name... but I think it captures something.

Let the Right One In

Really. I've thought about it and I don't think I could do a better job of reviewing this film then the Eugene Weekly did so I'll just tell you to go check out what they had to say about it. Although I will say DON'T WATCH A PREVIEW! (in my opinion most of the trailers for this film show way too much)
"She's a monster. He's a sissy. It's by far the most convincing love story of the year."

Inadvertent Romance ... with myself

A few weeks ago I ordered a martial arts instructional video, and I've sense been anxiously checking my mail box only to find that it arrived on the morning of Valentines Day, just in time to seem like a well planned romantic gesture. I'll admit that I had ordered it with the intention of it coming in earlier and have been slightly dismayed that it was taking so long... which makes the gesture seem a little less romantic... But in my defense, I did go to the trouble of buying a thoughtful gift for myself, so I think I deserve all the warm fuzzies I'm feeling right now.

Happy Valentines
