Stay well Seanchai!! Do what you need to do. Sending positive energy and prayers!! :)

Morning all. Think I'm coming down with something... not an uncommon occurrence (my immune system is shot) but it has me uncharacteristically nervous cause this stuff is starting out exactly the same as the bug that landed me in the ICU for a week a few months ago... I've had a officially-sanctioned plan for what to do at times like these since I was 14, so time to just put that in action (for now, keep myself inside, up all my meds, stay put, stay calm, and let the doc know so they can hold a bed for me just in case) and cross my fingers as hard as I can. There is a 90% probability that I will be 100% fine and won't need any major medical attention... it's just that this is the time of year that the other 10% tends to bite me in the :censored:.

Hope everyone else is at least less of a neurotic basketcase than I am this morning! :D

Thanks for sharing Seanchai!! I :wub: Glen!....and your other friend ain't too bad either!! xox

Attention kelli and roonies (and whoever else likes Glen Hansard/The Frames/The Swell Season:)

I was going to wait to post this till Christmas Eve, but I'm guessing most of us will be with family and friends, so I should post it now... this is Glen with a dear friend of his (and a close friend of mine) Mark Geary, also an amazing musician. Mark has a lovely little poignant Christmas song off his first album, and this year, he and Glen got together and re-recorded it for charity - it's now available on itunes. Here is their live version:



For those who are interested in the background stories behind songs, here's the background behind this one - Mark is one of nine kids, and every year at christmas, his parents would buy a pack of chocolate and coconut biscuits (cookies, for the Americans out there). They'd hide them in the washing machine so the kids wouldn't get to them. Trouble is, the kids *knew* they would always hide them in the washing machine, so they'd sneak down at night and each have a few, resulting in an empty box of "Christmas biscuits" every Christmas morning... thus the line, "Who ate all the biscuits?" When Mark became an adult, he discovered that the biscuits in question were not actually "Christmas biscuits" at all... just regular biscuits his folks only sprang for at Christmas. "My parents :censored: *lied* to us, all those years, right to our faces!... Salright, I suppose, we all lied about eating the biscuits before Christmas... spose we're even!"

Welp, just got a call from my landlord, he stated that I am not allowed to go over to the apartment today, I have to wait until tomorrow! He's not very good at hiding anything even though he lives in N.Y. so that said, I won't say anymore on it, don't want to jinx anything, but, sounds very positive! :ohmy:

OH OH OH!!!!!!!!! ~trying not to jump up and down~
