I am too lazy to sort
Not really too fond of the second song from the Thievery Corporation’s Richest Man in Babylon album, but since it’s the second on the disc, it’ll have to do for now. This cut is somewhat reminiscent of their big hit, Lebanese Blonde, from the previous album. Mid-eastern inflections. Sitar. Wailing woman. It’s in there.
I usually skip this track and go on to the next one. I won’t blame you if you don’t play it. It’ll break your streak, if you do, but its your bandwidth.
Always looking for advice on blogging. These 10 steps to better blogging are just as good as any. I guess I’ll apply it to my blog. We’ll see how it goes.
As you know, I don’t Facebook. I tweet. I love to blog though — seven years and counting. It’s been a slow but steady set of posts week after week, month after month. Mostly about things I am interested in. They are long form tweets. The link of the day is just laziness as is the quote of the day, but there’s a blog post after each one has been posted. And that’s what makes it worthwhile.
I mainly looking to establish some kind of voice, but it gets lost in some of the other chatter I throw up on here. I let my fingers do the rambling and I end up with posts about nendoroids, cute asians, or Sakaragaoka High School Light Music Club which most people don’t care to read about. I post them because it’s something that I am fond of. I don’t think I am embarrassed by these posts, but I know that they bore my three readers.
I think I’m more successful with my cooking posts. I believe they read very well. I guess I can write about a subject if I need to explain how things are working out.
Yet, I know that my writing is still weak. I’m trying to get better. I better follow that advice.
I just love this album. I remembering picking this up at Borders, quickly unpacking it out of its plastic wrap, and sliding it into the CD player of the Jetta for the drive home. I remember taking York Road south to the 695 on ramp as the opening of this song was playing and then it kicks in…
Dude!
Yeah. One of my favorite albums. I’m thinking about playing it at my funeral its that good.
This track was once one of the most played on my iTunes before I started ripping CDs and purchasing songs from the store. One things that always bothered me though is the circle has been turned into an oval with the album art downloaded from the iTunes music store. O, well, at least the remix album its a perfect circle.
Nothing to really write about lately, but I have to try.This morning driving into work traffic went from 80 MPH to a standstill because of sun glare. People, don't you know how to drive? I'm guessing that 75% (conservative number) on 695 this morning are commuters driving the same dreary route to work, but we still hit a slowdown because of sun glare. Come on, people, you should know by now the quirks of your drive to work. You should know that sun glare's just around the corner. You should know to have your visor down. You should know to wear your sunglasses. You should know not to look directly into the sun. You should know to look at the lines on the road. You should know to look at the backlit car in front of you.Follow the lines on the road and be wary of the cars in front of you and we can all still drive 80 MPH into the sun!
As the nights start getting colder (the days stay very warm) and the dark settles in earlier, the winter Oscar season heats up. I haven't watched to many of the contenders: I still haven't seen The Tree of Life. Yet, I been following the Oscar race on Grantland. Grantland is a website writing about sports, but they also have other writers writing about pop culture. I've been reading the Oscarmetrics column with devotion trying to figure out what to watch and to handicap for the Oscar Pool.It also helps me to figure out what to watch. Let's checkout what's playing at the Charles.http://www.grantland.com/search/_/query/mark-harris
If this don’t make you want Popeye’s chicken I don’t know if you’re alive.
Just made mean comments at gov brownback and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot
Followed a link from Kottke this morning to Susan Kare’s website. She was the original designer of many of the visual interface icons on the original Macintosh. Now I want a few prints of her classic icons. The Happy Mac. The Sad Mac. The Bomb. The Dogcow. What should I choose? Or should I let you choose for Secret Santa.
