<p>Another fun weekend has concluded after a lot of fun. Saturday night (after a day of studying), Rachel and I went to <a href='http://nfm.com'>Nebraska Furniture Mart</a> (she says I can&#8217;t tell anyone&#8230;that&#8217;s why I am only putting it here&#8230;no one will read it). At NFM I picked up the newly released <a href='http://www.saddle-creek.com/'>Bright Eyes</a> CD, I&#8217;m Wide Awake, It&#8217;s Morning. Great CD.

Rachel then decided that Fiorella’s Jack Stack sounds like a good place for dinner. She was quite correct. We shared a meat spread well suited for any barbeque aficionado. I am so proud of her for eating more meat.

After another baby blessing for my cousin’s baby, Gabe, Rachel and I went to Target, where I picked up the other new Bright Eyes CD, Digital Ash, Digital Urn. I have only listened to this one a couple of times and haven’t latched onto it as much as Wide Awake, but I am sure I will. Now a qustion for all Bright Eyes fans: I first heard of Bright Eyes in September 2003 when Connor contributed a track to Lost Highway: Lost and Found 1 (Lost Highway is my favorite record label – Nonesuch is my second favorite – for anyone that cares). Back to the question: Bright Eyes is on the Saddle Creek label, so are Saddle Creek and Lost Highway related?

The weekend ended as all great weekends do: with a wonderful episode of Arrested Development.

Finally, I spent some time this weekend working on a new blog front end using Smarty and Textile. And when those links look normal you will know everything is working.

   <p>Looks like someone else &#8220;wasn&#8217;t learned well enough in school.&#8221; Either me or Luke. I (think I) clearly said I bought both Bright Eyes recent releases this weekend.</p>
   
   <p>My dad is G2.</p>
   
   <p>NFM isn&#8217;t really gross. We went because Rachel wanted to look at dressers. I didn&#8217;t see one I even thought I would take if it were free (and I would say that goes for the products from any department except the computers/electronics/dvd/music dept.). But it isn&#8217;t exactly gross.</p>
