Mr. and Mrs. Galore have been on a concert tear of late. Artists recently seen:

Ryan Adams (Prior to the show this was Mr. Galore's favorite never-seen-live band. Nice to check that one off the list.):



The Avett Brothers (I think these guys feel music more intensely than normal people):



Lotus (Amazing. And I'm not just saying that because I took Music Theory and/or Adv. Music Theory with 4/5 of the band. They're truly great and almost no one realizes because they'll probably never be palatable to the mainstream.):



Rilo Kiley (A bit too frat/sorority-friendly for Mr. Galore, but very good performers and songwriters nonetheless):

fun at work

We bring you Mrs. Galore's work calendar:



Thanks to S1 for helping make the magic happen.

Leeks are beautiful!

I had no idea food was so beautiful until I started blogging about it. (Ooh, life as art -- so meta.) Mr. Galore has suggested that all future food blogging be designated MFB for "more food blogging" (in the same vein as QOOC, of course). We like acronyms around here. Mr. Galore claims he's not a word person, but you should see him kick ass at the zelpuz in Cranium.

qooc

Both by Mr. Galore, both related to Thai food (I guess that makes them QIC):

"I'm going to get avian bird flu and mad chicken disease."

"I'm trying to burn the Midwest out of me."

Also related to Thai food: This weekend's exciting adventure in which Mrs. Galore, having intentions of handing her leftover Thai food to a person on the street, instead handed him her bag of free stuff from GreenFest, without having the rational person's reaction of "while my Thai food is in a white plastic bag, and my GreenFest free T-shirts and coupons and magnets and gift for a pregnant coworker are in a white plastic bag, the two plastic bags are of very different sizes and shapes and weights and appearances and there is no real reason why they should be mistaken for each other," and then did not realize her mistake until 15 minutes later, after which there was a great search for men carrying white plastic bags, aided generously by the car-driving Father Galore (who it must be noted had just finished running a half marathon), but ultimately ended in Mrs. Galore having lost her free stuff, including two very cute T-shirts, although she was still in possession of her Thai food, which she ate, begrudgingly, for lunch the next day.

Watch. This. Please.

Noteworthy:

If we had just one week's worth of what we spend on the Iraq war we could be well on the way to solving this challenge. We have the capacity to do it.
