…and still managed to find a good new band — Hot Panda. I think I have to thank Orchid Mei for her frequent use of the colloquialisms “Hot and Awesome” and “Panda”. The combination meant there was no way I could pass Hot Panda up.  Favorites so far are “Chinatown Bus”, “Whale Headed Girl”,  and “It’s Worth Eight Dollars”.

I’m in the new house and able to relax without any pressing issues for the first time. It is a very nice feeling.
