A list of delightful things, lately

1. The discovery of Cher's twitter account. You guys, how did I not know that tweets like this have been happening since 2010? These days, she and Ringo Starr combined probably use more emojis than the collective rest of the internet.

Fair warning: Cher is also prone to explosive caps lock and the occasional angry political tweet.

2. "Foreign Object" - My current favorite song (and lyric: "I personally will stab you in the eye with a foreign object"), from the new Mountain Goats album Beat the Champ. Can't wait for my third—and possibly fourth—Mountain Goats concert in June!

3. I recently watched Help! again, and what a good idea that was. It is just the silliest movie.

4. Fun updates from David Byrne: DB and friends went to a WGI (colorguard) show and then he blogged about it! A video update was also posted on Facebook (my thought process while watching the first 15 seconds: "Why is there only one person clapping OH MY GOD THAT PERSON IS DAVID BYRNE LOOK AT HIM HE'S SO HAPPY").

5. Speaking of WGI (percussion), huge congrats to RCC for winning gold in Dayton! As always, a proud alum. <3 You can watch their finals show here. Side note: the first time I heard the show name, I thought it was "Guardians of the Bread." Which would be a whole different show entirely.

6. Other delightful things: it's spring, taxes are over, and the weekend is near. Everyone deserves a pick-me-up!
