So what are your plans this weekend? We have a birthday party (followed by another on Monday) and a playdate but nothing much else, which sounds nice right about now. I might watch Spanglish again--one of my favorite movies, read, and listen to some more David Bowie.
And Michael and I are going to listen to an episode of This American Life tonight. Do you listen to it? There is something very special about listening to a radio program and they are the best. I feel like I am being read to which is always a different experience then reading yourself or watching something. I love they are all online now that we can't hear it back home on NPR. Check it out. Once I get more and more submerged in past episodes I'll have to share my favorites. Do you have any?

Oh I love This American Life! One of my favorites is about this abandoned house a boy discovers in the woods -The epispode is called the House on Loon Lake...and the Fiasco episode and some others that I cannot remember the names! I'll have to do some research!
gorgeous pic!!!! Enjoy the weekend, -xoh
Ohhh, anything with This American Life sounds good to me, looovvvee it. Have a great weekend.
Oh the Fiasco episode is sooo funny! The Peter Pan play! And I love the one about the Texan man who won a truck by keeping his hand on it the longest. It's so eerie and compelling for some reason!
I am finally catching up on blog reading. So lovely to see all the pics of your family's visit. I love seeing your pics of E, too - she's really a doll. The radio show is good, but I've never really listened to it on purpose - just caught it occasionally on the radio in the car. I'll have to check it out!
My favorite This American Life is Ep. 188, "Kid Logic." The opening segment makes me laugh SO HARD; I re-listen to it sometimes when I'm having a bad day.
