Vampire Weekend and other tunes.
I finally downloaded some music last night, which of course made me feel like an old fogey. Everyone seems to be going crazy over this M.I.A. person and I honestly think her music is just effing terrible. I guess it's not the music I dislike so much as the lyrics. They're just terrible. Ah well, it's just another sign that I'm becoming ancient and out of touch with current trends. How sad.
I did find a few things I liked using Blender for my reference. I downloaded 4 songs from a new band called Vampire Weekend. When I saw the name I thought it was going to be some whiney goth emo bullshit, but it's actually pretty good! You can check out some of their tracks at their MySpace page. I wish I would have downloaded the whole CD, actually, since it seems as if it was cheaper to get the whole thing. Ah well.
I also downloaded one song from LCD Soundsystem called Someone Great. It's a strange video.
I took a track from the Juno Soundtrack, specifically "Anyone Else But You". Cutest song EVAR. I highly recommend the movie.

Vote in the Poll and Inka Heritage
Be sure to check out my poll and cast your vote! Inquiring minds want to know!
So, Jona and I have been to lunch at Inka Heritage on Park Street about 10 times now, and we've enjoyed it every time. Don't let the fact that it is on Park Street or that you've never tried Peruvian food before stop you from trying our this great restaurant.
You can read a bit about this restaurant here The Daily Page: Inka Heritage and a review on one customer's experience Madison A to Z.
They regulary feature 2 lunch specials a day for $8.00. If you do decide to go to try it out, order one with lightly fried fish, it's delicious. I believe they always feature this on Fridays, however you can sometimes catch it during the week as well.
The dinner menu is a little more pricey, but if you enjoy trying new styles of food, it's really worth checking out.

Cute Overload, LMNO Pies, Wii Games and SNOW!!
Today's featured link is http://cuteoverload.com/. For the cutest animal pictures with the most adorable captions ever, this site is full of win. Thanks to Kristi for turning me on to it. It's good for hours of "oooh!"s and "awwww!"s. Check it out and let me know what you think.
I also ordered a Key Lime Pie from http://www.lmnopies.com/ today. I've had their chocolate silk pie and their lemon bars are the best I've ever had. I've been addicted to Key Lime lately, so I thought I'd try LMNO Pies' version. I'll let you know!
I also recently played Cooking Mama and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves for the Wii console.
Cooking Mama was a little disappointing. It only features one player gameplay and is a little monotonous. The narration in it was seriously hilarious though, as the dialogue seems to be poorly translated/spoken english as interpreted by someone who speaks it as a second language.
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves also is unfortunately a one-player game, but it was certainly a lot more entertaining. It features a number of mini games which were really quite genius. If only it had a multiple player mode, it would have been a TON more fun.
Madison got over 9 inches of snow and many businesses were closed yesterday. I took the day off because I anticipated that it would be difficult to get to work. Apparently the National Guard had to assist folks stuck on the interstate for over 10 hours by giving them food, diapers, and filled their cars with gas to keep them running. A co-worker mentioned that she was wondering where these people relieved themselves during this time, specifically referring to duece droppage. She makes a good point. I feel bad for those folks that were stuck on the interstate, but I have to say, I feel just as bad for the folks that are gonna be doing trash duty on that particular stretch of I-90, because it ain't gonna be pretty.

About me!
My name is Kerri. I currently live and work in Madison, Wisconsin. I've included a picture of myself from 2 years ago on Halloween. At least, I think it was two years ago, since I've rocked the "pregnant nun" costume for quite a few years.I enjoy spending time with friends, reading, movies, Great Taste of the Midwest, World of Warcraft, New Glarus Beers, Dachshunds, Wii, and lots of other things that I'm sure you'll learn about if you continue to read this blog.
This is my first blog, so please be gentle.
