Grillin' Like a Villian

Ahh, yes. April is here and the snow is not. I've taken full advantage of the improved weather and cooked on the new grill 3-4 times already. The old grill found a new home in the back of some dude's truck, thanks to craigslist. Along with cooking dead animals over flames on-demand, I was able to get out and play my first round of disc golf at Blue Ribbon this past Sunday. It was still super wet and soggy, but still lots of fun and definitely worth the wet feet on the drive home.
I watched a couple of crappy movies the other day, Sucker Punch and Due Date. I highly recommend avoiding both, as they suck so badly I can't justify blogging about them any further. However, I did really enjoy watching Little Miss Sunshine, which I realize isn't exactly a "new" movie. Either way, it was both a great movie and a great way to listen to some Devotchka before the concert last Friday night.
The Devotchka show at First Ave. was even better than last year. They were the main act and played a solid 2 hours (including encore). They're such an awesome live band, you really get a sense for the complexity of the songs and the talent they possess. I really can't say enough good things about them and continue to devour their discography whenever I get the chance.
My gaming has been put on hold for a bit while I continue to wait for my new glasses to arrive at Target optical. In the meantime, I've been slowly (but surely) completing the pro drum trainer lessons on Rock Band 3. It never ceases to amaze me how some beats that once seemed impossible one day become do-able.
I also recently finished reading "Big Top Boss, John Ringling North and The Circus." Another solid read in a long line of circus history books I continue to delve into, with no end in sight. Next up? "Spangles, Elephants, Violet's and Me."
Oh, and I discovered uTorrent today. OMG. Coincidentally, I'm now listening to piles of new music by Devotchka, The Kills, Avril Lavigne, Metric, Prince, The White Stripes and The Sounds.
Finally, the Wild can suck it.
