Rainy Days = Frequent Library Visits

Another great find from the local library—Follow The Line Through the House by Laura Ljungkvist

And... yet another book with lovely illustrations—Night's Nice by Ed and Barbara Emberley (it's over 40 years old and still great!)

Links?

It's been a while, to put it mildly. It's rainy and depressing here in the Seattle-area, so I think a few fun links might be appropriate (or appropriately inappropriate).

Clients from Hell
I'm so glad I don't have any of these clients... though a few entries sound familiar :-)

Regretsy
As an etsy addict, I find this site hilarious! Not for the faint of heart!

Fantastic Mr. Fox
Wes Anderson + Roald Dahl = !!!!!!!!WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!

The Giant Jam Sandwich

Another oldie... brings back memories and the illustrations are great :-)

Dook Bay

I have to recommend yet another Shel Silverstein book that I somehow never read—Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook. This one had us in tears. The illustrations are great, but the book is just fun to read out loud. There are a few examples of some of the stories at shelsilverstein.com. Take a look!

Songs for a rainy day.

Autumn is definitely upon us... quickly turning into winter. We've enjoyed the brightly colored leaves, crisp air and sunny skies. Now it's changing to wind and rain here in the Seattle-area, which means a lot more time inside... and perhaps upgrading that Netflix membership.

For me, this time of year always means new music—a change of soundtrack for my days in front of the computer. I tend to transition from the more upbeat pop tunes of summer into something darker and/or mellower for the stormy season. A lot of Sigur Ros :-)

Here are a few artists in heavy rotation:

Choir of Young Believers
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
The Avett Brothers
Thao and the Get Down Stay Down

Do you have any rainy day music? Please share!
