Well, I am currently sitting here staring at my tickets to the Belle & Sebastian / The New Pornographers concert currently going on at the Orpheum theater. I never thought I would turn down a chance to see them, but after helping my sister move for 10 hours, I just didn't have it in me to wander downtown and sit by myself for 3 hours.

Today's facts of the day - discovered by me while watching Animal Planet last night with my kids.
