So far behind the times, I'm in front of them

Only 20 years behind the rest of the world, I too have gone completely gaga over Ultravox.

I mean, I of course adored "Reap the Wild Wind" (both song and video) when Steve introduced me to it, but so many 80s bands had one awesome thing with all the rest of their work being crap that I didn't make an effort to check them out further. sweh just showed me his DVD of their collection of videos, and "blown away" doesn't even begin to cover it. No, not everything is top-drawer, but enough of it is, music and video alike.

If you want to know what it's like inside my head, go watch "Love's Great Adventure". They understand.

And now for the rest of the day.

To wit, a quick trip to the store, then meeting the denizens of the House of Wounded Kittens for brunch at Tom's followed by trip to the Museum of Natural History. The original discussion had been the Botanic Gardens or just wandering around Prospect Park, but the weather didn't agree. Thass okay, I lurve the Natural History museum--I need to go periodically and just bask in the Gem Room. (I also haven't seen the Hall of Ocean Life since they renovated it, and it's supposed to be pretty cool.)
