In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

Well, hey, the Winter Olympics started up this week with a freaking AWESOME opening ceremony that was very much Avatar inspired (okay, maybe not inspired, but similar in looks). We had some random fiddler on a canoe (!), animated maple leaves (!), and a giant polar bear (??? cool!). Did you miss Knox Road because of the infamous Olympic trance? Have no fear, Week in Review is here!

*Pick of the Week*
Battery In Your Leg: “Album Cover of the Day” I like this new feature by Keath over at Sean and Co’s BIYL. That’s all. (But if you don’t know the blog otherwise, get to! It’s been expanding and it’s one of our favorites.)
