@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

On a slant to that, you know what I'm finding a rip? Sirius programming.

I enjoy Sirius every time they have a free trial period. But I never enjoy it enough to want to pay actual money for it. It's not like I lack for other stuff to listen to in the car.

And yet there were people going "Gaffigan, Oswalt, Silverman and CK were nominated, and WEIRD AL won this?!?" But I know Patton Oswalt tweeted that he was glad Weird Al won.
Can't imagine Louis CK giving a shit either way.

That is a whole lot of funny.

Yeah, that's my feeling. I have nearly 30k songs on my iTunes playlist. I don't need Sirius, I've got my own, thanks.

Although Spouse did get a little fluffed the time I left the car set up for ALL THE BLACK FLAG.

That is one cool thing about SiriusXM--you can set it up to alert you when an artist you like is playing on one of their stations.
That's also how I know that there's a trial period going on right now, when this morning on the drive in I got "TV On the Radio is playing now on SiriusXMU."

Thing I would like to post on Facebook: "If you post links from Upworthy and similar sites, do me a favor: in your post, tell me what happens in the video. That'll save me some time."

Not sure that would be well-received, though.

Right, especially now that I can plug in an 16G USB drive of my own stuff.

I can do this now. Pretty impressive given the fact that my last car had a cassette player. Still, it would be nice if it could display the titles of the Japanese songs.  I know, the future is MAGIC and still we are NEVER SATISFIED.

Waking up to a flat tire is a great way to toss all your day's plans into the grinder.

I was awakened at 5:30 this morning by a 90 pound dog leaping into bed with me.  Mere moments before, said dog had had some sort of less than friendly encounter with a skunk, so the eye watering skunk funk  doggy-cuddled all over my bed (and face) propelled me right out of my peaceful slumber. 

Dragged his stinky butt down to the shower, which helped some, but not before he made sure we'd be enjoying Eau de Pepe (w/hints of turpentine, musk and burning tires) around the house for several days to come.  Just in time for the single-digit weather no less -- no open windows for us this week.  And the guys in the neighboring cubicles here at work are loving it too!

Luckily it happened early -- 5:30, so I was still able to get to work on time.  So I got that goin' for me.

Hey Dad!  Check out this dead thing we found in the yard!  We brought it in for you to see!  We even left some meat on it for you!

Dogs.  Gotta love 'em.

Man. The older I get, the less appealing having dogs or children or even a spouse sounds. Living alone in a little apartment and walking around in my boxers sounds so nice.

Lately I have been practicing my Spanish and feeling pretty good about it. I think I have learned most of the simple grammar that people use every day, and I have sat and listened to people speaking Spanish around me and understood most of it. Nice. There were a few verb things I hadn't learned yet that I finally cracked and now it's all falling into place. But I'm sure some new curveballs will pop up soon.

...which of course means I'm getting the itch to do another language, now. Not because I feel "done," but because I've been practicing enough for it to stop feeling fun. Wondering if instead of Dutch I should have done German. You know, a similar language but spoken by way more people. Although glancing over German stuff online, it doesn't seem to have any of the charming characteristics that Dutch has. Also, cases. And less pleasant sounding.

Looking at lists online of how many speakers different languages have, I wonder when Hindi is gonna catch on as the next trendy language to teach your kids. It also drove home just how useful Spanish is. Spoken as HELL.

OK, I complained a lot about that meeting with the career counselor about my resume, but

Quote
  • Developed and enforced station programming policy for a staff of over 100.
  • Revamped station review system, as well as record filing system.
  • Organized monthly music review board of a dozen students.
  • Maintained relationships with record label representatives.

looks and sounds so much better than the wishy washy stuff I had before about coordinating a staff of volunteers.

If nothing else it is making me feel good about this thing I have to turn in to see if I can get a TA position for next year or an increased scholarship.

AW: Re: Skunk spray. Did you know that cats can do basically the same things? If feeling extremely threatened they can point shoot a potent smell of urea and fatty stank oils.
