I haven’t felt much like writing the past few days, and for that matter, I haven’t felt much like doing anything. I recovered from my stomach bug, but am now fighting a cold that Holly had last week. Mornings are the toughest with a cold, and it hasn’t helped that Payton has been waking up an hour earlier that normal the past few days. I think his two year molars are pushing again because he’s been pretty crabby lately and not sleeping very well. Hopefully they’ll push on through soon because they seem to bother him for a few days, then be fine for a week or two, and then bother him again.
So the Lions fans are upset because they didn’t like the way the replay review turned out on their would-be game-winning touchdown. I don’t feel very sorry for them because they essentially won an extra game last year against the Bears on a similar review that went in their favor. It all evens out in time.
If you get a chance, listen to Coldplay’s “Fix You.” It’s a song that starts out with just an organ and vocals and then builds throughout the song with more instruments getting added each verse. Actually, I think I like this song more after seeing the video. There isn’t anything special about the video, but the last half is from a live performance and it just made me really get into the song and feel the emotion of it. For some reason, Coldplay’s music reminds me of Pink Floyd. Has anyone else thought the same, or am I just crazy?

Just watched the video. I'm not as impressed. I'm still not sold on Coldplay for a couple of reasons. First is the fact that they think they'll be the next U2. Doubtful. Don't think they'll last that long.
But the thing I don't like about Chris Martin's voice is his bridge between chest and head voice (going to false setto) is pretty bad in my opinion. It's a hard thing to master especially in pop music. Weiman would probably agree with me that Bono does this pretty well as does Michael Stipe when he pulls it out.
I guess I could see the similarities between Fix You and some Floyd, but I'm no Floyd expert.
Hope you feel better soon! Go drink a gallon of milk (in under 60 minutes) and I guarantee you will no longer be thinking about your cold.
