Two completely unrelated things

Thing One:

There is a radio station here - 94.7 Alternative Portland - that I am loving. And when I say loving, I mean sitting in the parking lot at the grocery store to finish hearing a song before I go in and then sitting in my driveway after I get home to finish that song and then coming inside to look at the on-air playlist online to see what I missed when I was in the store. A sample hour tonight included Lily Allen, Pearl Jam, Kings of Leon, U2, Metric, Hockey, Green Day, Death Cab for Cutie, Silversun Pickups, The Killers and The Ting Tings.

Additionally, KOPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting) has a kick-ass show on Saturday and Sunday nights called In House with Jeremy Petersen. I just erased and rewrote this sentence five times as I tried to describe how super effing awesome this program is. Do yourself a favor and check it out online. You will become cool instantly (in case you weren't already, that is...um, yeah). Need a taste? Last Sunday's 8pm hour playlist included The Shins, The Smiths, Sam Phillips, Celilo, The Felice Brothers, The Old Believers, The Pixies, Morning Teleportation, The National, Dinosaur Jr., Fischerspooner, The Clientele, Stereolab, Dave Sitek and The Cure.

Thing the Second: 

Have you tried the Trader Joe's Tom Yam Rice Snacks? O.M.G. Buy them. Eat them. Love them.

For the record (because Erika tried to call me out on this) - they are, in fact, called Tom Yam Rice Snacks, even though they are Tom Yum in flavor. Sorry, Eri, not a typo.
