Somewhere, Out There

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

A few months ago, one of Jurvis’ friends sent us a link to the music video of Francis and The Lights’ “The Top”, directed by Jake Schreier. I loved it the first time I saw it. The second time I saw it I loved it some more. Now it’s in my bookmarks bar at the [...]

Ah, it’s hilarious, and it’s true. Blog post pending. Love, Adrianne II. Time to Call Mom: “Hey mom,” I chirped. [...]
