Come together, right now.. over me...


It's probably one of the most famous pedestrian crosswalks ever. (Ok, the most famous pedestrian walkway--I can't think of another one that is actually famous.) Abbey Road Studios has a live web cam up 24/7 at "The Crossing" (yes, I guess you capitalize it--it's that important.) You can go here and check it out anytime.

The best part is all the tourists flocking to take pictures and recreate the Abbey Road album cover. I saw one guy sit down in the middle of it for a photo, with traffic whizzing by! Obviously, the locals are like--"get the hell out of the road, bloody morons!"---they aren't braking for anything! A few near misses with a double-decker bus and you'll be hooked!

(Credit to my mega-Beatles fan brother, Reed for discovering this.)



So you thought I'd post a Beatles song, did you?... but The Smiths are more appropriate here. Wait for the chorus.

Wilco will love you, baby...



Sooo... it's been exactly a month since I posted anything! Ooops...I'm going to blame the excessive summer heat and the fact that I'm growing another small human inside me... and that has left me exhausted!

The big news in our world is that we are adding to the family. It's an amazing endeavor. Thrilled is the word I can't stop using.

We will definitely need to purchase this onesie for future Baby E. Get them started on the right track early. He/she has already been to some pretty good concerts---including a 3 day weekend at Pitchfork--- so hopefully that will rub off in utero.
