-Today has been somewhat cold and a little windy. This combination is rather unpleasant, though it wasn't bad enough to keep me inside.
-It seems that Neil and Rebecca purchased some chicken at the grocery store yesterday, so we will be having chicken for dinner tonight. Should be good.
-Today, the Hearing Voices blog posted a YouTube video of a group called the Leningrad Cowboys performing Lynryd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama. Upon watching the video, in which only the people at the front of the audience seem to move, I decided to try to find a little more out about the group as the whole thing seemed to be a bit of a non-sequitur.
It seems that this Finnish group was originally formed as a fictional group that was featured in a Finnish film. Apparently after the film was released the group began performing regularly and releasing albums. The Leningrad Cowboys, with their flamboyant costumes and hair-styles, have now been together for more than 20 years and been featured in at least three feature films. Sadly their website doesn't list any upcoming shows for 2009, though they did play about a dozen times in 2008, and even more frequently in 2007.
-My bedroom scarlet runner beans are really taking off. At least two of the plants have already reached the string, and should be wound around it by tomorrow (though I may have to assist in the initial winding process).
