It's rare that I find

It's rare that I find out about new music from David Letterman, but last night I did. He had a guitar duo from Mexico City as his musical guest -- Rodrigo y Gabriela. They were amazing. I immediately found their CD online and bought it, and am listening to it this morning. I have never heard anyone play the guitar quite like this. They are unbelievable. Highly recommended.

While I'm on the topic, if you're looking for new music, I also recommend The Decemberists' newest album, "The Crane Wife," and Muse's "Black Holes and Revelations," which is good for running.

Not much else to say. I tried to do some more Christmas shopping last night, looking for a particular present that I couldn't get on Amazon because it said it'd take 5-7 days to be in stock. I hit two local stores that should have had it, but they were both sold out. Who knew this gift was so popular? Anyway, I found it on Barnesandnoble.com, which I then discovered is awesome. They have a <24 hour turnaround to get products out the door, free 2-3 business day shipping, and a cheaper price to boot. Hooray.

I had the most awful dream last night. I was in a coma for a month, in the hospital, with my right leg seriously broken. I think I ended up there because I got hit by a car while I was running. I woke up and felt extremely relieved to realize I was safe in my bed. I had been sleeping awkwardly on my leg, so perhaps that's part of where it came from. When I got to work and told Jose about my dream, he said "you're going to run on the trail tonight, right??" Yes. Yes I am. No turning my dream into a premonition.

You young'uns must be rubbing off on me. I just downloaded The Crane Wife 3 from iTunes on Saturday. Never fear, I'll stick to my generation's music, my walker has built in speakers that blast CCR as I creak about the house harrassing the misses.

Laurie -- get the album. You'll love it.
