Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

My sympathies, Laga. Here's hoping you find something better.

I had to change my tag back. We had a microburst here this evening, knocked down a lot of trees (which took out power lines -- power came back about half an hour ago) and blew the roofs off two adjacent apartment buildings. Nobody hurt, so far as I know.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wait, it was Steph's birthday today? Happy birthday, Steph!

It has been a day for me, but at least it'll be over soon.

I'm sorry you had a day. I hope tomorrow treats you better.

ION, my DVR is set to show album covers while it plays mp3s. Anyhow a song from Evanescence's Fallen album came on and I was greeted by Amy Lee staring creepily into my living room on a 37" display. Her eyes follow you. Maybe I need to play that when the kids are getting ready for bed. "Be good now, Amy Lee is watching you."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hee. I like that cover.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thanks, Gud.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

From a SF Giants blog where a sub thread has gone off on the serial comma:

SHUT UP, YOU! REASONABLE OPINIONS HAVE NO PLACE IN GRAMMAR THREADS!

We are not alone.

Ack! I really didn't want to come here first thing in the morning and find two Very Bad Items in the Beep Me thread. -Ma and hugs all around.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

SC gov was in Argentina?!?! weirder and weirder.

overslept this morning. thank dog I showered last night. I was up and out of the house in 15 minutes.

The nighttime miracle did not repeat last night, in fact mac was a pill and had to work very hard to not explode - all over a bath (clearly not really about a bath, but he has zero ability to identify or communicate what is really bothering him).

I think I may go get a pedi today.
