Things I MUST Share [with the mythical people reading this]

Since Facebook and Twitter have gone by the way of sacrifices and discipline for the season of Lent, I have to say - I honestly haven't really been missing it all that much.  This could be for a few reasons:
1) I have friends in REAL life that keep me occupied
2) I'm totally kidding - my only friends are research articles and grad school.  They keep me cold at night.
3) It is finals week currently.  This means any stalking and tweeting would put me further behind than I already am
4) I've been housing a friend since last Friday due to some marriage infidelity [the spouse not squatting is the slut] and this has caused me to throw all of MY needs, emotions, routines, and priorities into a tizzy and out the window.
5) I'm leaving for Maine tomorrow for a mini-holiday with my sibling [okay - this has nothing to do with it. I just wanted to brag]

Regardless of the reason, there is only one thing I do actually miss.  It is sharing things that are SUPERLY awesome with the rest of the world.  So, to the leprechaun that is actually reading this - I present to you the awesomeness I have either stumbled upon or been led to over the past few days.  Behold:

This first one was sent to me in an e-mail by my nomadic cousin Chad as the opening to a message about the activities we will be partaking in while my sibling and I visit him in Maine [which is where he currently has set down his nomading]

This next one is brought to you courtesy of the love of my life, [future] Dr. Robert Beckmann, M.D.  Rob called me yesterday after one of his many weekly med school exams a little bit on the tipsy side.  He entertained me and made me laugh as usual.  And then over the course of the day I kept getting questions about music - that is until he offered this one up to me through a text.  "Frightened rabbit u know them?"  "I don't think so. Music?"  "Yes YouTube them.  Swim till u can't see land.  This is a Katey band or I don't know you at all" [color coding coincide to my phone dispaly]

May I also suggest [mostly because I adore the video - for obvious reasons]:

And as the worn out saying goes - I've saved the best for last.  Ladies and Gents, I knew that this video was released a few weeks ago.  I saw the tweet that it was available for viewing/listening pleasure and, once again, grad school got in the way of who I used to be - a really really cool person.  This album comes out in a few weeks and I'm more than a little bit excited about it.  And even though Davy and TayTay are looking a little [okay a LOT] rough around the edges these days - I would still happily bare each of them as many children as they would want.  So, from those fighters of foo:
Rope.

But for now kiddies - I still yearn for new episodes of Pushing Daisies so that I can drool over the wardrobe I hope to have someday [insert Charlote Charles - aka "Chuck"- costumes]

And the Pie Maker I dream of calling my own someday

 And just for good measure - one of my favorite kisses ever [that didn't happen to be mine]
