Rock 'n Roll Girl

I placed a temporary Coldplay widget on this blog as a small tribute to Coldplay. Since it's almost 1am, and who knows how long Lina will stay down right now, I don't feel like spending more time trying to tweak the formatting of the page so that the entire widget fits. I already spent 20 minutes looking through all the template settings/formatting options in blogger. If anybody knows how to quickly decrease my side margins so that the page isn't so narrow, please let me know. Anyway, as you already know, we downloaded a "white noise" album from iTunes for babies. Lina's favorite track is "Rain," which we blast on repeat for nearly 12 hours a day. When we drive, we look for the perfect static station. 7 weeks ago I would never have imagined that I would some day find such elation when finding the perfect static station. You see, the static has to be pure. It can't have hints of a sports announcer broadcasting a game, or of a Spanish or Mandarin talk show - the static has to be pure white noise - even and balanced. Well, for those who want to know, 1060AM works very well between San Gabriel Valley all the way to the Westside. 970AM works well only sometimes. On the East side of LA it begins to pick up the news channel. Now that I've wasted five minutes writing about nonsense, I'll get to my point.

Other than the white noise that we have Lina listen to, we have been playing "Fix You" and "The Scientist" by Coldplay - also on constant repeat. Both songs have a great groove, and a driving bass line that facilitate sleeping - especially when daddy is bouncing to the rhythm around the room like a moron (and mommy, but mommy isn't a moron when she does it). So, that's why I put up this temporary widget for you to check out four tracks from the new album (click "media player" on the widget).
