Music right now: Dirty Work - Steely DanSomebody put up a Torrent of Rolling Stone's 500 greatest rock & roll songs of all-time. Wescott downloaded it, used his external hard drive to send it over here and bwam. Gold people, gold ( Read more... )

Music right now: Feeling That Way - JourneyFriday ended with a whimper. But boy, what a start. Our shopping trip got slashed down to just Gibraltar Trade Center due to me and Ken hitting up Best Buy earlier in the week, and the unexpected closing of the long-standing army surplus, aptly named Ark Surplus ( Read more... )

Music right now: Motor City Middays on Live 97.1Jay & Bill are on a roll. Their segment with Jim Ross this week was apparently much smoother than the past few months of them with Michelle there. D&D did make open mention of the firings at the station, and were quashing any fear they'd be going away ( Read more... )

Music right now: Motor City Middays on Live 97.1No mention was made, apparently, of the firing of Michelle McKormick. I'm counting on D&D to make one, likely veiled (something about her parking on those yellow "don't park here" grids in lieu of a real spot, I'll bet). But so far the show is decent - not as good as the best Jay & Bill moments, but ( Read more... )

TV right now: Marine City High School FootballThey chose to put their Fox Box center justified on the bottom. I'd like to be optimistic and say their director had a utilitarian reason to do so, but I'm betting it's just to look different from everything else ( Read more... )

TV right now: RAWBack in the comfort of home. Let's start with exams. Piece. Of. Cake. Like I said, most were like regular tests, and I found myself very comfortable with the science stuff. Granted, the actual ACS (American Chemical...something) exam was like every standardized test I've ever taken - foreign and unrelated to class material. The ( Read more... )

Music right now: See You In September - The HappeningsAdded a few new icons over the past week or so. Been posting to Top Five, all of that. My friends sort of sprung a visit on me a day in advance, so I had to cancel with my brother while they came that weekend. We ate at the crappy cafeteria down the road and went to the casino. I convinced both ( Read more... )

Music right now: Deminski & Doyle on Live 97.1Got the same room next year. There may come a point where I find better plans and regret signing up literally seconds after the thing opened, but whatever. Made a stop at Ken and Wescott's Sunday en route to CMU from Thanksgiving weekend. We watched Survivor Series. Those elimination matches blew. Blew ( Read more... )

TV right now: RAWJeez, it's only been 23 days people! Let's try to catch up ( Read more... )

Music right now: You Better You Bet - The WhoThursday was pretty good. Got to relive my childhood with an early Lifetime episode of "Supermarket Sweep" and two "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" episodes which somebody down the hall caught me watching and immediately requested a copy of. One was an earlier show that had more difficult ( Read more... )
