I got word from the homestead that Beth was moved out of the ICU this evening. That's pretty good news, because it means that she is getting better, and is on her way to getting back home. Apparently, some new antibiotic that the doctors put her on really gave those germs an ass-kicking today.
On a (slightly different) topic, Sara returned to the bay area yesterday. She was originally supposed to be gone for two weeks, but pushed things out for an additional week in order to help out with Beth. It's good that she is back, because we immediately kicked Kevin's ass in hearts (ohhh yeah!). And it also means I'm going to get to see a lot more movies -- we've already started talking up "Hellboy". And of course, "Jersey Girl" comes out while I'm in Japan....
And while I'm at it, I'm also currently under the spell of a band by the name of "Denali". I stumbled across them whilst trying to find Fall Out Boy's new video for Sara (which, of course, I eventually found: "Grand Theft Autumn"). I found the video to their single "Hold Your Breath" at a site called punkrockvids.com (look in the downloads section). Some more googling turned up a live show, that I downloaded and have been listening too incessantly (VLC is great for that).
So yeah, that irrepressible siren that is the iTunes Music Store is calling to me... If only I was convinced that locking my music up in the AAC format was a good idea...
