Widgets Gone Wild: Morning After Girls, TV Girl, Monster Movie, Little Death, Koushik, Glasvegas, Gringo Star, The Drums

morning after gulls

We're no longer afraid of widgets. In fact, we spent several hours plowing through every one of them over at RCRD LBL and were rather wildly delighted to find the following downloadables. Some of them we already had, indeed had already posted--Oh, that Morning After Girls tune. . .mwah!!!--but our links had expired, blah, blah, blah, etc. We weren't sure if posting a long list of widgets would violate some code of blogger aesthetics but we also kind of didn't care. Therefore:









This line is here to make the list look less formidable. (We did say, "kind of.")

I've been meaning to say the following for some time now:

Dear Firefoxy Ladies and Laddies,

I have no idea why my little blogchild is being mangled, distorted, and abused by Firefox. This has happened several times in pphistory but eventually seems to correct itself. We regret any disorientation, nausea, and the like this might cause you. We are bearing up as stoically as possible, which is to say, not very well.

Sincerely,

pplist, aka "pplist"
