Debet, do you like that "The mine caved in Nova Scotia and killed a bunch of guys" song? My sister loves that song.
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Coding and Sleeping
The playlist does reveal a rather narrow range of babyboomer tunes. Writing in the London Times, Caitlin Moran noted: "No black artists, no gay artists, no world music, only one woman, no genre less than 25 years old, and no Beatles."
This sounded like a case of trying to make a story where a story isn't.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Oh, is that Timothy? I've never been able to decide whether there's cannibalism in that song or not.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I totally intend to sing this song to any potential Zmayhem spawn. It actually has a very jolly, rollicking tune and you can do different voices for the different characters and such. We sing it often at Faire, usually while dandling babies on our knees; parents draw back in horror, but little children giggle and clap. They love stories about sad babies and wicked mommies who are horribly punished for their wickedness.

That's to call and find out when they've got room for her. I think the actual induction will happen tomorrow.
It's a multi-stage process that in theory starts tonight (assuming they're not overbooked), with the main show starting in the morning.
Honestly, the work server thing makes me sad, because I could be sitting here earning money instead of nattering. On the other hand, I'm not feeling especially motivated to work, so not having to do so is nice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I prefer the iPod One playlist from whitehouse.org

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Aimee, I don't know that one. But, looking at the lyrics, sounds like a possibility, although a little impersonal for my taste. I'm not buying a lot of new music at the moment, but someday I'll hit iTunes with money and a mission.
btw, I'm about halfway through Wicked. I don't have the soundtrack yet, but the musical diverges pretty seriously for the book, no?

Trust my rage
My dad used to wake us up by playing Bruce Springsteen really loud.
I also assumed U2's One.
Now that I have Tivo, my shows list has expanded. It used to be just Lost and Alias. But now I've added Project Greenlight and I'm totally loving Grey's Anatomy so far. I think it's mainly due to Patrick Dempsey.

I demand affirmative action for the Presidential iPod!
(Seriously, I think it's sadder that the thing only has 250 songs on it. All that lovely wasted storage space.)
