Between playing Rock Band: Beatles late into the night with friends on Friday, and watching The Prisoner finale on Saturday afternoon, I’ve had “All You Need Is Love” running through my head all morning, usually paired with the indelible image of Patrick McGoohan with a Thompson submachine gun. At least this earworm is more palatable […]

Trying something a little different this morning, instead of running a random ten off of the hard drive or mp3 player, I’m recording the first ten tunes that come out of my pandora radio quick mix station. It’s one of those things I’ve been playing with since I got the new phone, and so far, […]

I thought a bit about writing something about my reaction to the “spectacle” surrounding this year’s Super Bowl, though it seems, as usual, while I was dithering about in the gym and looking into a regular Monday night d20 game last evening, Amanda beat me to it. And, she pretty much mirrors what I was […]

Why am I just seeing Molly’s 2010 Halloween video now? And why hadn’t I noticed that “Tik Tok” and “California Gurls” are the same damn song? I’m sure the local top 40 station I occasionally tune in to (to see what the kids are listening to) has played them back to back at some point. […]

Today’s shuffle derives from the act of delving into old hard drives recovered from the now deceased old Pentium 4 laptop, thanks to a couple of external IDE drive enclosures I can access via USB cables, since my new desktop machine only supports SATA drives. New technology that allows me to prolong the life of […]

(yep, real lyric) Why didn’t I realize that what this song really needed was accordions and clarinets? You’d think Weird Al would have had it before this guy, but then, this guy made Talyor Swift much more interesting as well, even if she still looks like a gelfling: A totally METAL gelfling: m/

Things went on a little bit longer than usual at the office on Thursday; long enough to miss the narrow window of time that would have gotten me home ahead of DC rush hour. As a result, it took me almost five hours in a soaking gray rain to get home last night. It wasn’t […]

Just some stuff rattling around in my head; with only a few re-runs from the twitter feed: ♦ – As strange as it sounds, I am coming to believe that LEGO Rock Band is a better game than Rock Band 2. ♦ – My new favorite Southern Colloquial expression is definitely “getting down to the […]
