Brought My Lunch is a photo group to showcase the lunch you brought to work. The goal is to create an incentive to 1) bring lunch to work (instead of buying expensive, less healthy meals around the office) and 2) to bring better lunches to work, lunches that are worthy of not just eating, but photographing. So pack that lunch, break out your camera, and submit your photos to the group pool.

A couple weeks back I wrote a post about the Best Music To Write To. Got some great feedback in the comments, and a few people went ahead and explored the issue on their own sites. You can check those excellent posts out here:
"Music For Writing" at infomusings.
"Music For Writing?" at VinylNotes.
And "Writing About Music For Writing" at AfterTheMFA.com.
Awesome posts. Of course, my good pal G. just had to put something in his post that he must have known was going to get my goat. Just had to do something, didn't you G.? Notice item #6 in G.'s list of "musical things in this world that [he] cannot do without:" Lennon/McCartney.
To the rest of us, G., that would be the freaking Beatles! So, so like you to have to be so "smart." What about "Octopus's Garden"? "Taxman"? "Don't Pass Me By"? "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"?
So, so, so like you. As I mentioned in my comment on your post, I'll be keeping your copy of the White Album.
