1: 2 weeks. -6 lb. woot!

2: Paul just sent me this message he got by accident-
"For some unknown reason I was googling [name hidden from google] today. He is my great grandfather. My maternal grandmother was Auguste Vintschger whose brother was [name hidden]. Jr (I guess). What I do know is that Uncle Gus, whom I never met was married to my [name hidden]. I could not find this reference on your blog. But I guess we're related somehow. [name deleted] . I live in Palo Alto, CA"

Wow- random family I never knew about, found via estrip! [name hidden] was my great-grandmother's sister.
I also learned yesterday that someone has made a whole website about my family, going back to like 1550. Apparently there are only like 400 of us?! The site is hard to use though, so I might be missing stuff.

3: New Andrew Bird came out yesterday.
I love these lyrics-

From "Anonanimal"-

The seemingly innocuous plecostomus
Though posthumous
They talk to us
They talk too much

See a sea anemone
The enemy
See a sea anemone
That'll be the end of me
Vicious fish was caught unawares
In the tend'rest tendrils
Underneath her tender gills and

I will become this animal
Perfectly adapted to a music hall
I will become this animal

Anomalous appendages
A non-animal

4: Congrats to our new president, and good luck. I hope he can live up to even half the hype. And on that note, a completely wrong card, just to lighten things up a bit.

    Yay for Andrew Bird. I like the eecard. I just got back from DC, thinking it would be a good moment in history for my daughters (since they are biracial). The way he was described as the first black was getting to my younger one, who kept exclaming "First Biracial" everything she heard Wolf Blitzer say something stupid (which was a lot).

    Interesting family history! I have a family name that has history going back to the 1500s too. It's so much fun!
