This past Friday, Jenny, who has been working on her MSN in Nursing for the past two-and-a-half years, got her degree from San Francisco State University. In the terminology of academia, she was "pinned" and "hooded," which means she got a pin signifying a Nursing degree and a hood for getting her Master's. She also received "honor cords" in recognition of being admitted to the Nursing Honor Society (Sigma Theta Tau). All in all, it was a nice little ceremony, and Jenny was really happy that her sister, brother-in-law, nephews, nieces, and in-laws could attend to support her.
It's been a long road to get this far (including a year of pre-requisites) and I'm really proud of how Jenny managed to cope with the workload, the stress, and still find time for her friends, her family, her cats, her knitting, and to generally be the coolest person I know. If you asked her, she'd probably give all the credit to others, including her friend Robyn (who also graduated on Friday, with honors), and even me, her husband, but the fact of the matter is she's done more for us over the last three years then we've done for her. So, it's with a ton of pride and love that I share this silly graduation video with the world:
This clip is from the entirely awesome Yellow Arrow: Capitol of Punk series of videos. If you grew up in DC in the past 20 years, you may very well have some great memories of these alterntive landmarks. I knew I did...
Nice new video for the Mountain Goats' "Woke Up New," directed by Rian Johnson, who was behind last year's excellent film, Brick. (Click on the video and open in a new window, it's more better when not viewed inline.)
here's a pretty hi-larious commercial from the upcoming SkyMaul catalog...

After only a single viewing, I can tell I'm going to be a huge fan of the Henry Rollins Show on IFC. It's the usual mix of Interview, Rant, Comedy, Music, and an interesting man-on-the-street segment called "Soapbox" -- not sure about that last one, but the rest is pretty great, especially, as you might imagine, Henry's profanity-peppered cultural tirades. I also love the Shepherd Fairey-soaked opening credits. Obey, indeed. Sweet sweet pay television. Check it out if you get it. Here's a clip of Frank Black performing "I Burn Today"
