Impressionistic Baby Shower Report

The hit of the baby shower yesterday was clearly Rockabye Baby's Lullabye Renditions of Nine Inch Nails. That's right, instrumental lullabye versions of songs like "Hurt," "Closer," and "Head Like a Hole," done on vibraphone and mellotron. Seriously fucking charming -- not at all a one-joke pony, I'm telling you. Don't believe me? Come on over to my house for a listen sometime.

So thank you, fightingtiger, for the Best Shower Gift Evar -- and also for co-hosting, making delicious foodstuffs, and while I'm here, just for being such a stand-up kind of guy. Thanks too to wild_irises for co-hosting and cupcakes (cupcakes!).

This praise is not, however, meant in any way to detract from the charm of tie-dyed onesies, hats knitted to look like eggplants, "noob" and "badass," A Field Guide to Stains, and bug books in Spanish, and so on, and so forth. Roomba and Scooba have a great set of baby schwag to look forward to once they're done cooking.

Also, I really, really love my friends. 'Cuz really, it's about the company and support, not the stuff. It was one of those "smiled so hard my face hurts" kind of afternoons for me yesterday.
