The name sounds kinda country doesn't it? But there's no birthday like the day of your birth. Meet the newest addition to my family. She's my cousin's little girl. So cute! Maybe she'll hook up with one of Miss Antsylily's boys one day. Werd to all you mothers!
Modern Art Museum of Ft. Worth

I've been wanting to go here for awhile. Every time big poppa and I go to Dallas, I tell him that I want to go to the Ft. Worth Modern Art Museum. But I guess after the four hour drive to Dallas, and knowing that we'll have to drive four hours back to Houston, we just forfeit the idea of driving the 30-40 minutes to Ft. Worth. Bah! We lazy like crazy. I've got restless leg syndrome. I can't stand car rides. My legs. Get restless. In the end I'm glad I went cos I love these types of museums but at the same time, it kinda sucked cos several of the pieces that I really wanted to see were on loan to other museums. SOCKS MAN! As for the place itself, just completely GORGEOUS! It is simply beautifully designed. I could go there all the time and just wander around or sit by the reflection pool. It's just all very tranquil. My least favo exhibits would have to be those ridic short films or whatevs. Seriously. Drabtastic. As for the gift shop, I could spend all day in there too.
What I need more of are those weekends where I get to wake up with no agenda, no lists of anything. Nothing. I'll get to pop in a CD with some soft rock indie music and then just roam around my room aimlessly. Maybe clean it up. Stumble upon things that I thought I had lost. Be pleasantly surprised by things I didn't even know I had. My room IS that messy. Hah! But that would be something when I want a nothing kinda day. The perfect soundtrack to that day would be some Aimee Mann. I find some of her songs to be really chill out and relaxing. To me a great artist means being able to play an instrument and write your own songs. But something even more important is the ability to be an awesome live singer/performer. Look at Celine Dion. She doesn't meet the first and second criteria but because her voice is just frackin' greatness, I can look past everything else. Anyhow, I blabber this cos Aimee does this very pretty LIVE cover of Cold Play's The Scientist. I'm not a big fan of Cold Play. I'm not even sure if Cold Play is one or two words. I think it's one. But two words look better. I liked their stuff during era of The Scientist. I'm just not feeling their last two albums. Sounds like forced product or something. But Yah. Listen man, to Aimee Mann.
