Apparently, according to the news media, any device that emits sound is now an “iPod-like device,” which means I’m going to have to start calling my new computer an “iPod-like device” as well, because I’m listening to music on it quite a bit.
I have that unpleasant sick feeling you get when you hardcore pass out after dinner, wake up within two hours of normal bedtime, and zombie around for too long so you can do it all again the next day. I should have learned something when I did this once a week in Port Arthur last summer.
Sigma got a very incremental, very trivial upgrade and is now able to report that n rooms have been added to the rooms database, but they are inaccessible at this point. I also don’t support room names, descriptions, or exits, but who’s counting? I am at a tipping point now, because with just a bit more program logic I will be able to get feature-superior to the C++ version.
The Counting Crows’ Recovering the Satellites is such an interesting counterpoint to August and Everything After. It’s kind of like imagining Mozart screwing around with an electric guitar or something like that. Lacks polish, a little out-of-band in terms of expertise, but still excellent.
Fuel’s Something Like Human is a remarkably memorable sophomore album (at least w.r.t. mass consumption). Of course, Sunburn as an album (aside from the saving graces of “Shimmer”) was rotten dog excrement. “Jesus or a Gun” as a song title? This isn’t death metal, guys. Learn the lesson of Incubus: consider the audience.
Speaking of excrement: etymology request for this term, please.
I hear that Five for Fighting has a new album out, and I’m always up for warbly falsetto + piano (actually not kidding in this case).
I found Juggernaut (Academic Challenge) on Facebook and Friend’ed him. I wanted to leave him a message with the sole text “JUGGERNAUT!” but I’m afraid he wouldn’t even remember the joke. If I get hauled out of my cube in ‘cuffs, it should at least be for something fancy like fraud.
