While Jarret and I were driving to a movie on Saturday, I saw some deer grazing on the side of the road.
"Aw, look, baby deer! And they're with their mommy deer!" I gushed. Jarret nodded, keeping his eyes on the road.
A few seconds later I saw a large flock of birds congregated on the same side of the road. These were huge birds, birds-of prey size. As I wondered about why so many of these birds would be together on the ground, still babbling to Jarret how cute the doe and her fauns were, I realized what the birds were doing.
Eating a baby deer.
My subsequent freakout after that was considered hilarious by Jarret, since he didn't see anything.

Beatles Rock Band set list? For real this time?
Lots of Beatles Rock Band news this week. First, a general description of the game here. It talks about how it doesn't do the parts of the regular Rock Band game that piss me off, which is good. It also talks about how you're going to hear studio chatter that's never been released, and you can unlock such rare things as the Beatles' 1963 Christmas record. (Which I found funny to read, as that's only rare to own, not to hear.)
Bu the big news was that Game Informer magazine supposedly has the game's final track listing. And yes, it's different than the one leaked two months ago. Mainly because they're still keeping one track a secret.
Once again, here's the list, and I'll compare it to the one I made. Even though I had the handicaps of not knowing about the three vocal lines (and that the Love album was fair game), I do realize that I made some mistakes in compiling my list. (How could I miss "While My Guitar Gently Weeps?" It's got the word guitar in the title!) But there are some things that are taken into consideration in this list, such as making sure tracks with George and Ringo on lead vocal are well represented. Little bit of revisionist history, there.
This is what Game Informer lists. Tracks that I predicted will be in bold. Tracks that made my short list but were cut at the last minute will be in italics.
26 out of 44, 31 if you count the italicized ones. Out of the ones I did not pick at all, four have Ringo on lead vocal, and three have George.
However, some of the ones I picked and are not on this list include "All My Loving," "Things We Said Today," "I'll Follow the Sun," "I've Just Seen A Face," "Michelle," "Girl," and "In My Life." Some big names there. I know we'll be able to download Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper and Rubber Soul right away, and probably the rest soon after, but come on, there's already much coin being dropped here.

This might be my new favorite PSA.
Check this out.
It starts off like a sterotypical breakfast commercial, and then BAM! Johannes Brahms and his piano burst through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man!
I'd seen some of the other PSAs like this on TV, but I hadn't seen this one before. So when it turned up in a Hulu video I was watching, I was quite amused.
