The week’s been mostly a blur; lots of kid taxi duty, review sessions on training materials for software that hasn’t even made it through preliminary build yet, homework assistance, funeral services, making a nuisance of myself to certain financial institutions, and planning for weekend projects. I’ve honestly been losing track of what day it was […]
As much as I’m not a fan of “kid” and “grown-up” being non-overlapping circles in the Venn diagram of life, I’ve noticed over the last year or two that there’s one area where it feels like I’ve crossed the line; boarded the elfship and sailed Into The West, never to return to Middle-Earth. Or to […]
No real commentary, just a random sampling of tunes off the laptop; at least a little more random than is usual; since it’s a bigger population. RAWK. “Special” Garbage “Language or the Kiss” – Indigo Girls “Come All You Sailors” – The Wailin’ Jennys “Your Latest Trick” – Dire Straits “Jolene” – Me First and […]
A little heavy on the 90s “alternative” this week; well heavier than usual. Swap out a few of these for Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr and RHCP, you’ve got my little brother’s high school CD collection (“CDs? bah! We had our music on cassette tapes, and we liked it!”). “Cannonball” – The Breeders “Black Wave/Bad Vibrations” – […]
Here, let the music speak of itself; it’s up to you to figure out what it’s saying. “Buddy Holly” – Weezer “Road of the Righteous” – Dropkick Murphys “The Mariner’s Revenge Song” – The Decemberists “Hanging on a Heartbeat” – The Hooters “Doctor Robert” – The Beatles “Joking” – Indigo Girls “Cut Here” – The […]
I cheated once on this random ten, because I didn’t feel like putting “Furry Old Lobster” on the list twice. It came up again right after “Chimbley”; which itself has come up in the shuffle at least four times this week in the course of drive-time listening. I’m guessing my randomess circuit needs to be […]
The fact that three zombie-related tunes came up this week is, indeed, completely random. I suppose we must always remain vigilant for the apocalypse of the undead, hopefully we’ll be better prepared than they were at the fictional Yonkers. “Least Complicated” – Indigo Girls “All You Zombies” – The Hooters “Big Jack” – AC/DC “Shanty […]
Another week’s passed, thankfully. Looking forward to a weekend of rest, relaxation, and Fallout 3. Also, on Saturday, a bunch of six and seven-year old boys will taking over my house for a couple of hours for Andrew’s late birthday pizza and movie night. We haven’t figured out what films are on the bill yet, […]
…from laughing, friends, from laughing. Take a few minutes to enjoy this little retro-style game I found, but Don’t Shit Your Pants! _______________________ And by the way, the show last night was, shall we say….awesome? Indeed, we shall. At one point, however, Colleen and I were ready to cover our ears and do the whole […]
