Built to Spill covers "Paper Planes!"

I'm a fan of Built to Spill, although I haven't heard much from them recently.

I found this cover of "Paper Planes" and love it.

It's about 3:30 in, but the first song is worth listening to as well. The video isn't so hot, but the music is worth a listen!

If I Had a Ton of Money....

I would totally do this too:

Someone Voted For Me!

FNBO Direct ATM Card

October 10, 2008
FNBODirectATMCard

My FNBO Direct ATM card came in the mail yesterday. I’m using the account for long term savings so I don’t anticipate needing regular access to the money in the near future but the ATM card will be nice to have if I need it.
I also got an email about FNBO’s Pay Yourself First Challenge, the bank’s promotional effort to encourage a higher rate of savings in the US. Here is a blurb about the challenge.
The Challenge will follow five everyday people in their quest for savings greatness by using the Pay Yourself First method. FNBO Direct will match, dollar-for-dollar1, what each of the five finalists has saved at the end of the Challenge. The grand prize winner will also be whisked away to a luxurious spa destination to restore his or her personal balance.
Pay Yourself First means depositing your paycheck into an FNBO Direct Online Savings Account (OSA). When bills are due you simply transfer just what you need from savings to your FNBO Direct Online BillPay account. Whatever’s left over - whether it’s $25 or $500 — stays in your OSA and earns an interest rate that is seven times higher than traditional saving accounts
I checked out the finalists, Tim’s video about quitting his job was pretty funny so I gave him my vote.

THANK YOU!

If Only I Had Some Extra Money.......

Someone is selling a restored Ghostbuster’s Ecto-1 which was used in Universal Studios Florida for over fifteen years.
“This car is one of three Sony/MGM authorized Ghostbusters 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor Ecto-1. There are the two original cars used in the films and this one built exclusively for the Universal Studios Theme parks. This car has a rich history and thousands of fans have been photographed with this car. The only major change made to this car was the roof rack. We modified the roof rack to resemble the screen used Sony Ecto-1 original car. Other upgrades are cosmetic and mechanically it’s very sound.”
So if you have $45,000 to spare, check out the auction on ebay.com.

The actor, regularly known as the world's sexiest man, is currently in Puerto Rico. He is training for his latest film, where he plays a US soldier who fights the enemy using ancient Chinese mind techniques. He has grown the moustache for the role.
Clooney, 47, had hidden in his hotel on his arrival but popped out of his room to play basketball with friends.
The Ocean's 11 star is starring in Men Who Stare At Goats, a war film based on British writer Jon Ronson's satirical novel.
The book details a secret unit established in 1979 by the most gifted minds within the US Army.
Defying all known accepted military practice and the laws of physics, they believed a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and kills goats just by staring at them.
They were known as the First Earth Battalion, and it also details some of the stranger national secrets at the heart of US President George W Bush's War on Terror.
Clooney will play Lyn Cassady, who claims to be a former member of the unit who was reactivated in the wake of September 11, with Ewan McGregor playing a reporter who stumbles upon the story.
Jeff Bridges is also set to play the founder of the programme with Kevin Spacey playing a former soldier now running a prison camp in Iraq.

Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals

I know you guys have probably already seen the SNL Biden/Palin debate parody.  You guys may have seen this, but for some reason I found it really funny:
