friday random ten: “realization” edition

24 Sep

Some may have noticed that I haven’t been posting as often lately. After some thought, I’ve come to the realization that I’ve been very purposely *not* talking about one particular thing, and saying very little at all is the best way to do that. Now you’re curious, aren’t you? “Brown Eyes” – Lady GaGa “Heavy […]

friday random ten: “…” edition

17 Sep

Because honestly, I’ve got nothing. “Explain It To Me” – Liz Phair “Butterflies and Airplanes” – The Clarks “Knife Going In” – Tegan and Sara “Johnny” – Innocent Nixon “Our American Cousin” – Molly Lewis “Can’t Get There From Here” – REM “These Days” – The Rentals “Hands In The Air” – Girl Talk “Bring […]

friday random ten: “relatively hipster” edition

10 Sep

With a few exceptions, I guess. That Katy Perry song sticks out, but damn if I don’t really like vast swaths of the Teenage Dream record; unsubtle penis metaphors, cotton candy-scented packaging, and my own anti-commercial sensibilities aside. She’s got a great rock voice when she lets it loose, like she does on selection #8 […]

friday random ten: “batten down” edition

03 Sep

Just sitting here 110 miles from the beach, hoping the hurricane turns east so I don’t have to deal with it, because we all know how much fun that was last time. “In Step” – Girl Talk “Any Way You Want It” – Glee cast “Heavy Metal” – Clap Your Hands Say Yeah “Crossfire” – […]

friday random ten: “documentation saves lives” edition

27 Aug

Not the greatest week for me, even if it was a short one. Lots of work-related frustrations, which, to be fair, are totally expected in the early weeks of a project’s testing phase, but are, nonetheless frustrating. Otherwise, the weather was a bit cooler, and it made my bike rides very pleasant. Family camping this […]

friday random ten: “running in the new SatNav” edition

20 Aug

We’re picking up and getting out of town for a couple of days to run out the last of the summer, so don’t bother looking for us. In the meantime, here’s some music: “Big Bad World One (live)” – Jonathan Coulton “Downtown” – Tegan & Sara “Lover” – Les Paul & Mary Ford “Better” – […]

friday random ten: “there comes a time” edition

13 Aug

There comes a time in every man’s life when he leaves his mobile phone at home when he leaves in the morning. That time is exactly like the seven hundred other times he’s done it. Happy Friday the 13th everyone. Remember, when fleeing from unstoppable machete-weilding murderers, you really only have to outrun the stoner […]

friday random ten: “a little too firm” edition

06 Aug

Not the greatest week in terms of rest. This week’s hotel bed was so firm and unyielding that had I not actually yanked the sheets to check, I would have sworn the mattress was a box spring. Here’s hoping for some improvement next week. “Gardening at Night” – R.E.M “Here Comes the Fool You Wanted” […]

friday random ten: “damp, musty and stifling” edition

30 Jul

Not been a good week in terms of working conditions. The air conditioning system in my part of the office has been out of commission all week, and it’s been hotter and more humid inside than out all week. There’s definitely something wrong when going outside into the 100+° with the heat index Virginia summer […]

friday random ten: “not a lot to say” edition

23 Jul

…so, I’m not going to. Have a good weekend, everybody! “Never Said” – Liz Phair “My Michelle” – Guns N’ Roses “Voices in the Jungle” – Rock Sugar “Dose of Thunder” – The Replacements “Lovegame” – Lady GaGa “Reservations” – Wilco “Operation Ground and Pound” – Dragonforce “Deadbeat Club” – the B-52s “One of the […]
