Wine, spaghetti, meatballs, The Social Network and sleep...
That pretty much summed up last night, and it was all pretty awesome.
This morning was spent watching YouTube clips of Gary Moore, who passed away
earlier this month. Saw some amazing performances like
Parisienne Walkway, an awesome solo on
Empty Rooms, an incredible cover version of
The Thrill Is Gone with BB King, a live performance of
Still Got The Blues (which made me tear up), and
a sizzling tribute to Jimi Hendrix's Red House.
Too bad Gary Moore was way more popular in Europe than in North America. A lot of people are missing out on unbelievable-sounding guitar work, which we'll never get to hear live again.

Well that nap lasted longer than I anticipated.
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but rain somehow makes you tired or sleep better, must be something about the rhythmic sound of water coming down. I'm just guessing here, but it's got to be something.
Tonight we're having The Social Network night, rounding out about every Oscar nominated movie we wanted to see, so for the first time in years we'll actually know what the fuzz is all about. Then we'll round it out by going to see The Eagle before it disappears from theaters. Hey, nothing wrong with brainless entertainment, that's what movies are for.
