I was greatly amused by this thread on Fark today ( Read more... )

Mr. 22 is standing here over my shoulder breathing down my neck to see if LJ will allow me to post a player widget. So let's see how it goes. And who knows? Maybe you'll like what it plays!

It didn't work the first time, but now apparently LJ lets it work if I use the tags?

I bought two CDs today: an album entitled "Dona Got a Ramblin' Mind" by the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and Neko Case's "Live at Austin City Limits." The former comes recommended by none other than Taj Mahal, and the latter by someone who describes her voice as that of "Patsy Cline's ghost." I could have spent much more money in that record store ( Read more... )

Two updates in as many days. You're probably beginning to wonder what you ever did to deserve such a wondrous bounty. It's probably nothing you did, however; I've been suffering from bouts of insomnia as Moe, Larry, and Curly tend to do their thumping, banging, ladder-swinging, and (I presume) head-hammering and eye-poking next door between the ( Read more... )

I emailed this to a lot of people earlier today, but I thought it was just too cool not to list here as well. We released a new feature this morning, the ability to create a link to a player which plays several pre-selected songs. It's pretty cool, IMHO. Here's the one I created earlier today:

Today I was thinking of the whole family of words surrounding vomit and the feeling that one would like to vomit. Don't ask why. Seriously, don't.

I don't mean to sound like Jim Anchower, but it has been a damn long time since I updated this. And a damn longer time since I updated it publicly. I even have some things I could discuss. I mean, a lot happens in six months. Nothing big, but I have done a bunch of things I could conceivably discuss here. Some "news," even. But I don't have ( Read more... )

I glanced over my journal and noticed that I hadn't mentioned the two things that anyone who has been in my physical (or electronic) presence recently has had to endure my gushing over: 1) I now have a bed; 2) I now (again) have a cell phone ( Read more... )

As I sat here bored on yet another Saturday night, I got a phone call, which was very exciting. But alas, it was from work. A quickly resolved issue. They probably should have called our IT guy, but it turned out to be something I could fix. Hopefully I'll be able to keep the secret that they were working on Saturday night. It got me out of my ( Read more... )
