Xmas came early
I usually get myself a Christmas present. I went to see Phoenix Down (mad props for the Final Fantasy reference) play at Johnny Guitar and fell in love with this Fender acoustic - a milestone, because it's my first acoustic and my first Fender. I thought it might inspire me to get back to writing. So far, I have played through some Shins and Pearl Jam songs I know, and I've jammed along with commercials and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Mayhap my musical dry spell will become a trickle.

Xmas decor
The battle between carnivores and herbivores doesn't stop for holidays.
I like blinky lights.

Doghouse
This bluegrass band was playing at the Fall Fest in Maryville. Foreigner should have opened for them.

Desert Island Novels
While I'm at it, allow me to post my top five desert island novels. Feel free to do the same on your blog! Let's start a dialog.
1. Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.
If you mix a post-apocalyptic storyline with Vonnegut's humanist compassion and humor, the result is a literary goldmine that bears re-reading.
2. The Watchmen by Alan Moore.
This graphic novel is the be-all, end-all of the superhero genre.
3. The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Vol. 1
Well, it contains Beowulf, Shakespearean Sonnets, Milton, Sidney's Astrophil and Stella sonnets, and Jonathan Swift, plus a lot of boring stuff that I would probably get around to reading if I had nothing else to do besides spear fish and crack coconuts. Or else, I could use it for kindling.
4. A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.
Ignatius Reilly is arguably the most comical character of American literature. His consistent application of medieval philosophy (Fortuna's wheel) would probably help me cope with the bad luck of being stranded.
5. Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass by Steven King.
My favorite book of the Dark Tower series...enough said.

Kelly's and Mary Frances's Wedding!
This weekend Murfreesboro celebrated the marriage of two of our most favorite citizens, Kelly and Mary Frances. Their ceremony was beautiful, the reception bountiful, and the merriment plentiful. I don't think I've seen that many people together smiling and laughing in a long time.
The first dance.

Saturdays at the park
I took this one holding the camera upside down over my shoulder. Luck!
Those toes look out of place.
You never know what you'll find.
