Transmission: Thumbsucker Paw Knuckler

I haven't much to say, but I've got this music I've been listening to for a while. It's sort of how I'd characterize myself recently. Ups and downs, ready for some time to relax, time to myself without the complimentary course load. One more week of classes, then 3 finals until I'm done with the semester. Completely flew by.

Thanksgiving break was last week and quite good, got to get some work done, see family, read a book, watch the first season of Arrested Development (working on 2 and 3 now). One of the things that was bugging me, though, was my dog. She's old (around 13-14) and a big dog. In the past year she's lost 20 pounds, her back legs are going, and she's starting to knuckle in the back legs. She's great, though. I guess that's how I got half of the title for this. The other half was from my German class. In class we read a few stories from a book called Der Struwwelpeter (found here), which I happen to own at home, which was a series of stories for little kids, that happened to depict horrible happenings to teach lessons. It was from the tale Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutscher, The Story of the Thumbsucker (found here, aber auf Deutsch). The image is from that, and there you have it! Listen to it, tell me what you think, I'll keep belting them out (regardless).
