Heading out to case the promise land

My work has been closed early due to weather. As I always like to say at these times: best. Day. Ever. (I will not be saying that if a tree falls through my window, obviously). Perhaps I will use this time to catch up with my yuletide source. Did I mention I was excited about that? I am.

In news that couldn't be related but isn't (unless I'm double bluffing and Community is my source), in this week's Community watching: Troy was picked by a cute librarian, and then he left her because she said Abed was weird. His outrage actually surpassed adorable and entered some realm for which the English language is inadequate. I believe they are the most in love ever. Really. And the thing I particularly enjoy is how the show loves them, too. Like, in Big Bang Theory, Howard and Raj are BFFs, but the show is always skirting the line of mocking it, you know? It's sort of, "Look how gay they are! Only not! Ha ha!" So far Community hasn't done that, and it makes me really happy. I am not onboard with this suggestion of no 4th season. :(

I am, however, onboard with the new Florence + The Machine album (Shake it Out can be my new Sam Winchester theme song, yes?), and the new Black Keys one. I haven't listened to all of the The Black Keys yet, but what I've heard has guitar Solos, and decent lyrics and awesome hooks. It is like good rock music in my life again. What is this madness?

Hi! Hope you guys are all having good days, too.

I do not know that I am hugely blown away by the songs on this Civil Wars album, and yet, I also really, really am. They aren't overly catchy, and they're potentially kind of depressing, but there's something gorgeous about them. I am a fan. Pretty sure.

That is all.
