I did, but only because it was mentioned in an Encyclopedia Brown story.

This is from way back, but JZ and I are twins in our Encyclopedia Brown love/knowledge.

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.

I've mae a similar palylist too, but it's more because I load new music on, and continue to listen mainly to my iPod on Shuffle, so that new music may never get listened to. I had to fish out the new Kate Bush and listen to the disc while I've been cooking to really have a good listen to it. I find I'm also much more impatient with songs that I don't love. They get skipped a lot.

My iPod has made me realize that most of my music tends to the mellow/downbeat. I have very little peppy music on there.

I find that I am starting to see how some people may never buy another physical album again. The last few I bought I uploded to my iPod and are sitting in a big pile by my computer, and I couldn't tell you what they look like or even the name of the album.

Theo, could you put that in here? I'm curious to see what it looks like from someone else.

I haven't purchased a CD since the Music Store was created. I didn't intend that but I'd rather browse at home where I can hear every track and buy only what I want. I thought I'd miss liner notes, but I don't.

Sorry for disappearing on people for, um, 6 hours.

HI Burrell! have you been going to stretch class? or is this start of school stess?

Yes, and school has started, which means grading has started, so really it could be either.

Thanks for the chiro rec, ita. One thing that weirds me out about LA is that all the fitness people have at least some marginal involvement in The Industry and hence all look like models. My stretch teacher is GORGEOUS, too. (She posed for Playboy recently.)

I feel so out of the loop, music, movies, etc. Sigh. And now Portos. I want a cup of coffee and a potato ball, dang it.

Hey Kat, do you have Alibelle's number? Or is it the same as her old one (when she was at school)?

Wow. ita's Batman site has a lot of rules.

They're out of the box rules. I haven't even read them all yet.

Batman likes rules.

Batman likes rules.

Bob likes carrots?

Batman likes rules.

And carrots.

HA! Inevitable x-post.

I'm getting this fact:

Crime does not occur during the day, in deference to Batman being too cool to be seen in daylight.

much more often than anything else.
