Can someone please get a Random Facts thing going about Batman?
If a thing ever needed to happen, it's this. Maybe when I get home to where my comics are...
Today, my back is better.
Oh, thank GOD.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I had no idea there was that kind of money in whale vomit.
I did, but only because it was mentioned in an Encyclopedia Brown story.

Ah, if only the vomit I had to clean up in my college job as a church's Sunday host/custodian had been as lucrative.

JZ knows about ambergis for the same reason I do!
Also, I need to thank JZ for the lovely and thoughtful package she sent me, which a) somehow got delivered just last weeks and b) took me awhile to figure out who I knew in SF!

Wow, I never knew churches were such magnets for the nauseated. Of course, the ministers that could make me throw up are generally only on TV, at least when I'd ever see them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Christ, Dana. I'm so glad you're feeling better. And so sorry about the MRI trauma.

Shrift, the code is here. None of my web hosts have PHP 5.0, or I'd have it up already. I might poke to see if I can code it down, but then I'd be insane.
msbelle, you were right about the Rahsaan Patterson joint. V. much what I like.
Has iTunes changed how you guys purchase and listen to musica a lot? Yesterday I found myself ordering 5 albums from Barnes & Nobles and one album and four songs from iTunes. I'm not even clear why I made that split--some of the hard copy albums I ordered were available complete on iTunes.

YAY!
I do not think I will buy tangible CDs anymore - maybe box sets.
I have bought much more stuff unheard since using iTunes. What has changed more is the way I listen to stuff. I hear so much more of my stuff now. I have an entire list of "unplayed" tracks, so I can expose myself to the tracks that I don't really know.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, quite a lot. I generally try to download an album from eMusic (higher bitrate, cheaper), and if they don't have it I'll buy it from iTunes. I make exceptions for music that's sonicly "complex", as it won't compress as well, or stuff that I just want maximum fidelity. And of course, stuff that I can't find in either iTunes or eMusic I then hunt down in Amazon. Or if I happen to be in a record store I might buy something from them. But that happens much less often these days.

If I only had a brain...
Dana, I'm so sorry. Ugh.

Oh yeah, I do that. I find I'm much less likely to listen to an album from start to finish. Oh, and I used to buy a lot of CDs where I just wanted one or two songs - buying just those tracks online saves a lot of money.
