1) Why are eggs in the dairy case? Is anything that squirts out of an animal considered to be dairy?

2) Why, Amazon, why is it going to take three days to ship me a package that, according to UPS, is starting its trek in Oakland? For tolls across the Bay Bridge and the cost of a Zipcar I can go pick it up from your warehouse myself.

3) Was my PS2 pre ( Read more... )

Either it's a testament to how well it's selling in this super-left part of the country, or it's Stephen extending his character to new heights and truly breaking down that 4th wall by punishing us liberals.

Either way, I can't find Americone Dream anywhere. :(

We all go a little mad sometimes, I just usually do it in used record stores.

The Avalanches / Since I Left You - Technically purchased last weekend, but still worth a mention. They're an Australian group that defy any attempt I make at explanation. The best I can do is say that they are the epitome of sampling, taking God knows how many samples ( Read more... )
