So, I've raved about Vienna Teng before: how I love her melodic piano work, how I love the sensitive way she tackles difficult topics like abortion and gay marriage, how wonderfully clever her lyrics are...well, here's another from that last category. It's from her song "1BR/1BA," off the "Dreaming Through the Noise" album.

My little flock of boxes and I surrounded
By a painted-white unknown.
Soon as this wall in my heart comes down,
I'm gonna make it feel like home.
...[and then, halfway though the second verse, my favorite lines]...
My upstairs neighbors are making sounds
That I never want to hear.
I hope they're just moving furniture around,
And really liking their ideas.
Niiice!
In other news, my doggie has become bulemic or something. She's yakked on four of the last seven days, and has started chowing down on grass for no apparent reason. I know dogs eat grass when they're feeling ill, because it encourages vomiting, but she'd only been behaving oddly/lethargically on two of those four days...and on the other three days, she ate enough grass (but did NOT throw up) to make her scat SOLID. Like, lincoln-log solid.
Ewww...
And, finally, a new photo of the Scion for your viewing pleasure:
