this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

NPR slow jams.

Not a phrase I ever expected to read.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

God people have the stupids today. I'm asked when something will go live, so I respond with an, I think, very specific answer of 2/15 at 3am.

The email back to me is, "2/15 really means tonight, right?"

Dude, if that's the value of 3am for you, sure. Otherwise it's very early Tuesday morning, like 3am early.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

WHY does the video driver on my work laptop periodically crap out and go to 16 colours and 640x480? No one should have to live that way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am not a mind-ERASER.

And here are the NPR Valentine's Slow Jams: [link] The mix is pretty much made for me. Which is only a problem because I'm looking at the list and trying to figure out when I can go to the bathroom -- after "I need love," but before "If I Was Your Girlfriend," I guess.

Mine usually does that after an undock and redock.

Oh my lord, Jodeci! I really do have a weakness for mid- to late-90s R&B.

Me too! Ah, adolescent imprinting.

Mine just bursts into it, but only when undocked. We're running XP on hardware that's designed for W7. Apparently that's the problem, yet they haven't updated us yet.

1995 was the best R&B year ever, man. I miss all that shit. Babyface, I miss you!

Because books.

I can't believe they have Player's "Baby Come Back" on there. And "Sarah Smile"! My childhood, right there on AM radio.

Babyface went to my high school! One of few famous alums. Though I hear one of the nerdy catholic boys I did theater with is now writing and producing for Jay Sean. WTF?

I am feeling unreasonably irked at my roommate at the moment. Because his dishes are still in the sink, and I'm feeling like he's never going to do any cleaning. Now, granted, do I do much cleaning? Hell no. But first he irked me with loud music and loud sex last night, and now the dishes are still not done...argh.
