Cinco de MP3-O
The MP3 player knew what day it was at the gym today so it played Amarillo by The Pouges for me. I love it when Irish bands play music completely inappropriate for them. All those Spanish words sung with a nice thick brogue- baby baby.

I addition to the gym I have started my rowing DVD plan and watched Gray Matters yesterday. I didn't row through the whole movie but I did get a good workout before watching the rest of it from the couch. It's a cute coming out movie about a woman who suddenly realizes not only is she gay, but she's in love with her brother's wife. Fun cameos by Alan Cummings and Sissy Spacek are worth the price of admission alone.

My clients have screwed up their funding somehow so I have to take training to keep myself off of overhead. The good news is I can do CBT from home! No commuting is super green.

Hubby is in the Cinco de Mayo mood and called to say he wants margaritas tonight. However, we don't want to sit in a crowded noisy Mexican restaurant so we're going to Pacific to suck up margaritas at the tiki bar while we eat Asian food. He'll be home soon so I gotta fly!

Books: The Spiderwick Chronicles

Movies: Gray Matters

Soundtrack: We must say Adios until we see Amarillo once again

Since we've been talking about odd music lately and you mentioned an Irish band singing Spanish words, this fits. I've been on a kick with a Spanish heavy metal celtic band lately called Mago de Oz (Wizard of Oz).

This is a good intro over on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amHsAm1TXFk

Warning: Halfway through the song you will see a rather vulgar mascot appear on stage in a super-hero outfit, leading the crowd in clapping. :) If that sounds offensive, skip this one and try:

I kind of think of this band as a real life version of Spinal Tap.

I really could have done without the visuals, but the band totally rocks. Are you into Flogging Molly too?

No, I've heard of them though. I'll have to check them out.

Yeah, the visuals caught me off guard in my cube at work. Fortunately, no one was walking by at the moment. I probably should have found a different video...
