Aw jeez, there's a rat in the ceiling. Or possibly wolves in the walls. Becca insinuated it might be an alien intruder, which would be great, but only if I could rely on some significant extraterrestrial detective work to help remedy the situation. But alas, I have only my wits and a rat in the ceiling.

Okay, I've decided he's a small mouse and his name is Moose. And he's my friend and totally won't give me the Hanta Virus.

This seems like as good a time as any to do a 2010 concert recap and try to forget yesterday for a moment.

My resolution last year was to attend more live music concerts. That happened... mostly. I certainly bought more tickets to more live music concerts. Here are the concerts to which I purchased tickets but did not attend:

Mark Cohen
OK Go
Julia Nunes (still angry about that one)

Here are the concerts I did attend:

String Quartet at American History Museum
Carolina Chocolate Drops
Vampire Weekend
Janelle Monae
Patomac Bombs
Punch Brothers
The Hallelujah Chorus at the National Cathedral

Pretty good list, all around.
