Andy Levy apologizes to Chris Brown for calling him out on punching a woman in the face, but something tells me he’s not really all that sorry. DUDE. I’m bloggging something from Fox News - you KNOW it has to be good.

I spend far too much time bracing myself for death. There, I said it. I am constantly aware of how fragile life is, and how easily people I love could be gone tomorrow. I’m not morbid about it, or neurotic, it’s just always there. So this Regina Spektor song REALLY speaks to me. It sums things up quite nicely.

That’s WonderGirl. Yeah, if you follow the family blog, FB or my music blog (and FB page) you’ve seen this a kajillion times by now. But how can I not share it again and again?? Even if she never picks up the violin ever again, the fact that we were able to get TO this place boggles my mind and makes me super giddy. I don’t expect to do anything really great in my life, but this might be the closest I’ll get to super awesome. I’ll stop now before I get TOO full of myself and karma decides to teach me a lesson and she throws nothing but hissy fits for a week. Not that I speak from experience…

You are a Tourist : DCFC “The FIRST LIVE, SCRIPTED, ONE-TAKE MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT. EVER.” (Really? Hrm…)Also, I can totally see why Ben Gibbard snagged my nemesis, Zoey Deschanel.

WonderGirl’s MAD piano skills at work last night at a nursing home. You’ll notice she played it perfectly whereas I… whatever, I’m so proud of her!!

I’m so playing this for WonderGirl when she gets home. I predict a suweet Living Room Dance Party. And then she’ll either demand a haircut or a silver coat. Possibly both.

If we’re not e-BFFs on the Facebooks (or follow my uberawesome music site), you probably missed this. I do so love my family. For an added behind-the-scenes treat, here’s the commentary husband left on the Treblemaker site: A few comical notes about the making of this video: This was take 3 from Day 2. Take 1 involved an imaginary microphone which was extremely distracting. The next take involved said microphone and no headphones on wondergirl. As a result she attempted to put the microphone into her mouth in order to be heard. What came out was a garbled mess. The solution was to add a mixer and headphones so she could only hear herself - thus eliminating the need to devour the microphone.Finally - Our little Dude can be seen in the lower left corner, poking in and out of the frame. He begins by dancing and then you can see his little fingers begin to manipulate the mixer. Thankfully, the knobs he were for the channels we were not using.

LOVE THIS. Hon, take note of the Chinese one (he has to go there again in a wee bit. No worries, I’m going to flee the state when he does). Could them make one in Portuguese, or maybe one of ClownTown, USA? Hrm…. maybe I’ll do that one…. new hobby, woohoo!

I did it! I mean, we did it! I know I’m a week early, but inspiration hit and I had to run with it. I’m rather pleased with myself, I am.

12 days and counting until our 6th anniversary, and I need inspiration for the video. Here’s year 5 to jog your memory. Song suggestions, please!!

Okay - one more video of the night. This is a hot mess of Rudolph - WonderGirl had gotten a taste for the mic and begged to sing this one, despite not knowing most of the lyrics. (and I’m seriously out of tune watching the madness… whatever. Ignore me). No, this clip is all about the Dude. This is what we like to call the Sumo Dance. If you don’t watch this and start desperately wanting a little Dude of your own, you may have no soul. Just sayin’.

Last night our family headed to a nursing home with some friends to play some Christmas carols. Our buddy is a percussionist and is an absolute playing junkie. I’ve never known anyone who LOVED to play as much as him - anywhere, anytime. Those are fun friends to have. We let WonderGirl up to the mic to sing Jingle Bells… she was so excited at points, she forgot to sing, but did not forget to rock. Good golly, she’s magnificent. disclaimer: There is a note that’s out of tune, and I was feeling stiff. So don’t judge. I swear I am usually less lame and more awesome. Whatever. Just watch my kid. It’s high-larious.

Love of an Orchestra : Noah and the Whale I’ve been trying to decide whether I want this song played at my funeral, or the video. I also want to petition Noah and the Whale to make the song 57 minute longer. LOVE.IT.

insertaclevernamehere: I knew it. I knew it! (Thanks to delvintomymind for suggesting it. Hopefully that linked to his page. I have no idea how this stuff actually works.) Oh my gosh, watch it all right now!!!

A few weeks ago, the kids at church sang a wee program at a nursing home, and some of them played instrumental solos. Actually, all but one were taught by me… anywho, WonderGirl got up and played her first piano solo and was so fast that I didn’t get the camera recording until the second half. So here it is, about 4 seconds of Hot Cross Buns. Woohoo!!!

The cast of Harry Potter speaking the Freedom language.
