friday random ten: “routine blown” edition

15 Oct

Overall, I’m sure moving to this new job is the good kind of stress. However, good or bad, it’s still stress, and it plays havoc with my system in all sorts of unpleasant ways. I am, as many know, a creature of habit, almost compulsively so; these changes (new position, new place of business, new […]

friday random ten: “twice the romance” edition

08 Oct

Stuff is happening. Good stuff. I’ll cover it in a separate post a little later. Here are some tunes. “A Certain Romance” – Arctic Monkeys “Our American Cousin” – Molly Lewis “Goodbye” – Patty Griffin “Radio Romance” – Tiffany “When You’re Gone” – The Cranberries “Slave” – Syn D’ Cats “Come All You Sailors” – […]

friday random ten – “battle of the 80s pop stars vs mutant animals” edition

01 Oct

In my honest opinion, Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus is a better film than Mega Piranha. Round one of the contest goes to Deborah Gibson. We’ll see if Tiffany Can tie it up by delivering the more riveting performance in round two’s head-to-head competition when Mega Python vs. Gateroid gets released next year. Here’s some totally […]

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 […]
