I can't believe it's time for the 3rd annual (and possibly final?) TAI LJ Christmas Contest! where did time go so fast? this year I came up with a trivia quiz. it's not terribly difficult but you might have to do a slight bit of research. you can help each other out but please don't post here to cheat and get answers. since the 5 year anniversary is coming up I decided to up the ante a bit... the winner gets these:

the traditional prize and the not-so-traditional prize



that's right. both. have I got your attention now? :)

answer all the following questions and send your answers to lovefiercely@gmail.com no later than midnight MST Dec 24th (ie - the night Santa travels.) entries with all correct answers will be numbered in the order they are received and the winner drawn at random on Christmas Day.

( GOOD LUCK!  )

2nd & 3rd place can have their choice of a 2007 "Santi" promo poster or a 7" Checkmarks vinyl. So get to it, it's like homework.... but hopefully more fun.

Heyyyyyy guys! Long time no see. Or write. Or whatever. If y'all even know who I am anymore...?

Even though I've slowly stopped listening to TAI... (I think mostly just because I've listened to them so much I needed something new haa) I want to do my senior dance solo next semester to a TAI... song since they've accompanied me throughout high school. My dilemma is that TAI... is very obviously a rock band when one tries to choreograph a dance to them, so I'm having trouble picking a song. You Might Have Noticed is a very possible contender with the huge ol' problem of a giant cuss word at the beginning. Is there such thing as an edited version of it? I'm assuming not since it never came out as a single (let alone that it's like, the most unappreciated song of theirs) but I thought I'd try.

Well, it's just Beckett, but it is still a new photoshoot.
But, I can accept the fact that I almost 'drolled' when I saw the pictures.
What a handsome daddy we've got here. OHH! And thanks to Courney Beckett for the pictures.
