The Opposite of What I'm Hearing as I Suffer Loudly, Brattishly, Home Sick Today

I Googled "noise" to post about the construction project happening on my apartment floor which is disturblingly, relentlessly, preventing me from recuperating from my cold, and I got the Derek Trucks Band's live performance of Joyful Noise. It's sooooo, so so sooooo,  totally the opposite of what I'm listening to right now (band saws, hammers, power drills) that I'm cranking it with all the intensity that a MacBook can do with an new owner who is too broke and/or cheap to buy $100 speakers. And if you're feeling bad (or good), I encourage you, when you have time, to crank it too. 

Viva Joyful Noise. Viva Derek Trucks. And Band. You're welcome. Remember: I do accept gift cards. 

Watch Summer Heights High Before I Cancel HBO

Saw the premiere on HBO on-demand the other night while I was snowboarding. Written by and starring Chris Lilley, Summer Heights High is an Aussie show, and it's freakin' hilarious. Trust. Trust! Chris plays one character so well, a vulgar Tongan student Jonah Takalua --who rags on the teachers so badly, bullies other students so relentlessly, disrupts class so horribly--I swear, I went to high school with him.
