now picnic

I think goats are stalking me.

I got a few goat-related emails from my friend HP -- the first, when I asked for her address. She asked if I was going to send her information about the National Pygmy Goat Association (NPGA). I said I could if she wanted me to, but apparently someone had already done that to her, and I didn't want to be derivative. (In case you weren't sure, the italics there were to express my intense dislike for the word derivative used in that context. Just so you know.)

Then she sent me a link to a giggle-inducing video that involves fainting goats. It seems to be making the internet rounds these days. "maybe i'll make it a point to only send you links about goats?" she wrote.

Before she could send another link, though, the goats found me! When I sent out an email last week to let some friends know about this website, I got a bunch of replies from people who have been writing online too, so I've been perusing. I noticed this post from Russ, a Cornell friend and musician, and this guy certainly knows good music. I missed the burger of which he speaks, but The Mountain Goats, huh? Never heard of them.

The next day, I was looking at Landon's page and he has a link to things he's listening to right now. Down under "Top Artists -- Overall" who should appear but those mountain goats again?! Never before, and then twice in two days. That's how it always goes, I guess. Is there a name for that? When you learn a new word or concept and then you see it everywhere? Quick, someone Name! That! Concept! If you can't, I'll be stuck with it reminding me of goats... help.

Also, Landon and Russ, you both rock the facial hair, and might enjoy each other's company, were you not "geographically disadvantaged" (to quote Mr. Landon himself). I will introduce you on Friendster. That's the best I can do right now. Hrm.
