Feist

This song is a few years old but I've always liked it. It fits my mood lately. It's catchy, too.

Canadian singer Feist sings "1 2 3 4"

A little taste of California

How to Make an In-N-Out Burger at Home, Animal Style

A lot of people love In-N-Out Burger (appearantly Julia Child was a fan) but it's only found in California and a couple of neighboring states.

Christina Mirabilis

Today is the feast of St. Christina the Astonishing . Fr. Z wrote a bit about her here. Over a year ago the blog Shrine of the Holy Whapping featured a lovely painting about her here. Nick Cave even has a song about her:

"She soared up to the rafters
Perched on a beam up there
Cried "The stink of human sin
Is more that I can bear"

Linked because there's a part of me that wishes the world looked like the 1930s (and 40s).

For some reason I had a need to listen to some Joy Division today.
