Hi. So,  I know it's been a long time and...well...there's someone else.

My new page.

We've had a good time. And this might not be the end. I'll still visit occasionally.

Enjoy it.
Then thank me later.

Rocky Votolato - Mix Tapes/Cell Mates

Ok, so, we were on the way back from my mother-in-law's house and Killing In the Name by Rage Against the Machine came on and I started thinking about how much I like that album cover and then I started thinking about all the album covers I like and so I thought I'd talk about them here. Ahem.

As many of you know, I'm a chemist. Some of you might not know that I work with explosives. That's right. I test soil and water samples for various kinds of explosives and explosive residue. When I'm telling people about my job, I usually take the opportunity at this point to say that this is where my job stops being interesting. Mostly what I do ( Read more... )

Ok. So instead of joining yet another blogging website that I'll start out trying to figure out and then just let fall by the wayside, I'm going to redevote myself to this one and hopefully, with all the pressure that the added traffic that I might theoretically have from the Contrast Podcast crowd, I'll keep it up.

Ok, so as you may or may not know, I'm a huge geek.

With the Grammy's coming up, I've decided to totally geek out and I started to do some research. I looked up all the Album of the Year nominees (including the winners) since 1983's awards (in 1984) and found stats for 4 categories:

Average track length
Number of tracks
Number of songs that reached #1 ( Read more... )

So i'm looking at the celebrity playlists of the american idol winners tonight. That's right. That's the kind of thing i spend my evenings doing. And this guy Bo Bice likes this soundgarden song "outshined ( Read more... )

Ok, so today i'm talking to my mom on the phone and we're talking about how weird the weather is. And she starts scoffing at Global Warming. She says "It's not real, right?" And I froze. The idea of not believing in Global Warming shocked me. And the scary thing is that it's not like my mom's the only one ( Read more... )
