another life

my retired parents just returned from a trip to paris and london. i've been swooning over their photographs (this isn't one of them) with a combination of awe and nostalgia and a lump of wanderlust and wonderlust in my throat. now i deeply long to be there again. my parents had never been overseas before this trip IN THEIR LIVES, so i'm so very proud of and happy for them for making this voyage. now that's what i call retirement.

Love is Watching Someone Die

his is "What Sarah Said," by Death Cab for Cutie. I discovered this song when I accidentally bought a Death Cab DVD thinking it was a CD. It took me a little too long to figure out why it wouldn't play in my car, but once I got a clue I was happy for my stupidity. There are lots of cool videos to be found on the DVD. In the arduous affair that is ripping CDs for my iPod (ok, watching D do it), I recently rediscovered the DVD, and it served as a delightful accompaniment to cooking up and consuming a nice dinner.
