New Weezer - The Red Album

Posted on June 23rd, 2008 by Monique, under Art, Daily Life, Friends, Music, Videos, Weblog.

A band that I have enjoyed ever since I saw them play the Universal Ampitheatre in either 94 or 95, Weezer has always been around. I can still remember when Hash Pipe came out, good times.

Now its 2008 and bands are hating their record labels more than ever, and turning to the internet for their fan bases as can be seen with Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor and Radiohead. It looks as though Weezer is on their way to doing the same. I am adoring the new red album.

And this guy Rivers Cuomo, the frontman of the band Weezer, can write a song. Just amazing. I watched all of the songwriting project videos he has on youtube and was quite captivated. He is so talented, and makes it seem so easy.

And if you haven’t heard the first single from the album, Pork and Beans, you have to watch the video. If you’re not a net head, you probably won’t understand too much of the characters and things in the video. But if you’re like me and have spent thousands of hours on the internet since 95, you will appreciate Pork and Beans. Check it out:

My female Miniature Pinscher Penny

This is a quick video (no audio) that I took with the movie setting of my olympus digital camera.

Penny is my 2 year old miniature pinscher who loves to chase, bark, and play in the backyard. There is a glimpse of our male mini pin Max eating some greens on the side of the fish pond in the background. He grazes like a cow and watches the fish like the old dog he is.

So I was in my backyard, and this cute little lizard was just hanging out in a little aloe vera plant. I got some really cool pics of this tiny little lizard who was nice enough to pose for me a few times.

Monday Funday

Its the beginning of the week again, and time to do some laundry. The VOL Cajun festival is finally over so we can get back to quiet neighborhood time again around here. Yay.

Last night we watched the world according to Garp, such a classic movie. It was a little chilly today, but I still managed to fit in a little gardening. I made garlic potatoes for brunch, which I took pictures of and plan on making some recipe pages about, but didn’t make enough time today. Tiana came to visit today, and is leaving to work on a cruise train through Alaska til October. And so tomorrow it will be lots of pictures time!
