Saint Louie Louie

So Saint Louis. Well, we neglected to find out they were having a marathon in the city on the same weekend we were going. Also a Blues game and a Cards game...so downtown was nuts. On the upside, the City Museum was pretty much deserted for the first three hours we were there.

Highlights were watching Psycho T get shut down by the Jayhawks' big men and Roy getting his britches all bunched up about a million times:





Seeing Keith Tkachuck make his 498th and 499th career goals at the Blues game (the 500th would come the next day in Columbus), and various kick ass hockey fights. Like with actual punches and stuff! I think the fighting cheered Greg up after all the downtown traffic.


And family bonding at the City Museum which was totally cool as always:

And of course our Sixmonthiversary!!! I love you guys. So glad to have such a wonderful husband and stepdaughter.

Look at Seth Getting All Complimented and Stuff!

So, yeah, Seth's story in the Tori Amos anthology is the best one. (Also her favorite, we are told. Okay fine, "one of" her favorites, but she was probably just saying that so that other people's feelings wouldn't be hurt.)

Seth Peck and Daniel Heard contribute a piece based on one of Amos’ most popular songs, “Cornflake Girl,” from 1994’s Under The Pink album. In “Comic Book Tattoo,” the song inspires what Hoseley calls “an epic horror story of otherworldly evil and maternal betrayal. It’s a dark, creepy, surreal fever dream that, like in the song, deals with the danger and pain of conformity of what ‘good and proper’ girls are like -- but in a completely unexpected way.

“The thing that blew my mind was that Seth took all these little one-off lines, little random lyrics that really don’t have anything in the way of deeper meaning in the song, and he wove this epic that seamlessly incorporates those elements as integral parts of the dialogue and narrative in a way that is pretty amazing.”
