Rooney Returns and A Light Goes Off

Does anyone out there remember this song from like 2004?



Probably not. Even in high school, my musical tastes were obscure, but I digress. I know you must remember the movie Princess Dairies with Anne Hathaway, and if you remember her, surely you remember her love-interest... you know, the indie guy with the long hair that was in a band. Maybe this video will jog your memory.



Well, when I watched the movie for the first time, several years ago, I always thought that the "ah ah ah's" from dude's band sounded like Rooney's "Blueside," but I thought it was just a coincidence or whatever. Then a few weeks ago, I saw this:

Rooney - New Music - More Music Videos

Now, you can see Robert Schwartzman's face, unhidden by locks of hair, it clearly is the same guy that was in Princess Diaries. (May I add, he looks way cuter, now... it may be the hat, hmm....)

Anyway, I really like this song. I may buy the album now. Review possibly to come in the future... we shall see. I thought I'd at least share my revelation with the internet world.

Explorers of the Woods Behind My House

Cathy came to visit this weekend to celebrate the Fourth of July. How did we choose to start off the weekend? By an extreme hike in the woods behind my house... with my dog Stinger... while pretending to be wizards... and at times running around like a crazy person.

Of course, we had to don our extreme hiking gear, which triggered the extreme behavior:



But the trip was a success, since we found these delicious blackberries to enjoy on the trek back!



We returned home free of ticks, with all our limbs, and no giant spider attacks.
