Not Quite The Sunday Salon - Day Off

I am ded

It occurred to me that I've been spending far too much time on the computer lately (yes, really), so I'm shamelessly stealing Staci's idea from a few weeks ago and staying off the internet today. (And in case you're wondering, I'm writing this on Saturday).

I thought I'd leave you with a video by my latest musical obsession, Fanfarlo. They're good! They're very, very good! And look what they list under influences: "David Lynch, Kurt Vonnegut, Talking Heads, Television, Sufjan Stevens." Hearts.



Have a great Sunday, everyone!

Best LOLCat ever! Enjoy your internet free day. :)

Have now finished listening to music, and it was marvelous. You should share your favourite music videos more often! I always enjoy them, and am a music dunce, so need help finding good bands.

My cat sleeps like that. I guess it DOES look comfy! Cracks me up. I am with you on the Internet insanity. I keep telling myself that once I get my panelist responsibilities done (finished this morning!), I'm going to take a break.

LOVE that band. I'm going to have to do some exploring on iTunes!

She said...

Righteous band, perfect for a Sunday afternoon! I love it when bands use the violin. Think I will have to go do a little searching for some of their tunes. Enjoy your day off! ! !

Amanda said...

Have a great day, Ana! I hope it's relaxing!

I love the picture "Blarg"! Very cute! Hope you're doing the same thing!

Very, very Sufjan! I'm going to have to give this one a few more listens, but I really love their band name. Fanfarlo! So cute!

Andreea said...

I love the cat picture! Have a great day!

Hope you enjoy your "day off"!!! and have a relaxing time.

Great lolcats. I think I'd enjoy listening to their music but I've never been a huge video fan - unless there's a montage or something attached. I'm so old school that I believe music is to be listened to, not watched, you know?

Have a great day off, my dear. You deserve it.

Good for you taking a day off.

I panic when I do that as my Google reader goes through the roof.

Gavin said...

Have a wonderful day off! It's great to take some time away and come back refreshed.

Sometimes a break is just what we need. Enjoy your day off, Nymeth. And thanks for sharing the video!

SUCH a good idea - I'm planning on being disconnected while I'm on vacation later this week.

Hope you had a wonderful day! Cat pic is great, and I really like that band (guess I can't be too much of an old fogie yet)!! Will have to check it out. Thanks. Be refreshed & relaxed for this next week...

Chris said...

Hey Ana, I need to do the opposite of you :/ I need a day where I actually spend some time ON the computer! I feel like I just need to play super catch up on so many things. I'll get to it all soon. In the meantime, I hope your day was productive Ana!! Though I missed you on Twitter and the likes :( Even if I'm not posting on there, it always makes me smile when I see your posts :)

Melody said...

LOL. I love that pic. The kitty is adorable!!

I hope you're enjoying your day off! :)

violetcrush said...

I think I should do this too, but then I'm not much on the internet on weekends except maybe for an hour or two. That’s okay right?
Hope you had a great time :)

Nymeth said...

Thanks, everyone! It ended up being a feeling-blah-because-it's-too-hot-and-not-doing-much-of-anything sort of day, but you know what, that's the sort of day I needed.

And Eva, Sandy, She, Lu, CJ and ds - I'm very glad you liked the song :D

Rebecca Reid said...

I need to take internet free days a bit more often! It's addicting.

tanabata said...

Hahaha! Love that cat!
I was going to write that I hope you had a nice day away from the computer, but just saw your reply. Sometimes you do just need a day of lazing around and not doing much but not feeling guilty about it either. :)

Debi said...

David Lynch, Kurt Vonnegut, Talking Heads...no way they're not going to be awesome!!!! And I do love this song! Will have to check out more of their stuff. And *slaps self upside the head* I MUST check out more Sufjan Stevens. Must.

Hope your day off was lazy and relaxing and reviving! It certainly does feel good to get away once in a while, doesn't it?

Diane said...

OMG...I am a sucker for cat photos :) very fun!

Staci said...

I hope you made some time to be like that cat!!! Love it!!

Chris said...

Debi, Please stop hitting yourself :p

Alice Teh said...

Aha... too much of a good thing. We all need to take some break. Have a good one! :)
