Sunny Side Up

Have you been paying attention to my non-scrappy blathering? Yes? Then you know of my adoration for Paolo Nutini. And just in case you were unaware, then I feel it's my duty to tell you his new album Sunny Side Up was released today! I drug my unruly toddler to the mall (yes, she refused to walk, instead preferring to lie in the middle of the floor yelling, "Mommy, carry you!") for the second time in less than 24 hours just so I could get my hands on the CD. So get thee to a music store (or of course, you can always be all "high tech" and download it from itunes). It's so worth it. :)

Because...

apparently, I'm having some sort of barely explainable mid-life crisis, wherein I waste all my time looking at photos of Rob Pattinson, and I desperately needed another guy to obsess about, check him out: Paolo Nutini. He's easy on the eyes and the ears. You can thank me later. :)

P.S. I swear I will post something scrappy in the near future.
