If you eat brains, does that make you smarter? I tried some canned brains several years back, just a forkfull; don't even remember what they tasted like, though I remember I didn't dislike them.... There's a store near Concord, NH (for you locals dying to try this stuff) called The Healthy Buffalo. They sell various alterna-meats, like the named Buffalo/Bison, but also all kinds of others. Deer/Elk, Wild Boar, Alligator, Ostrich, and my new favorite, Kangaroo; probably a few more I don't recall. I've tried eel and fish eyes (in Hong Kong for eel and Japan for fish with eyes). One of my favorites was a little narrow place in Hong Kong that specialized in Congee, a kind of rice porridge. I tried some of my co-workers Congee with Pig's Blood and Thousand Year Egg. Quite tasty, actually. I probably ate bugs as a kid, but that doesn't count on the gourmet scale I suppose.

[Hey Nate, how was your trip?] Hey, it's a "special" amp, designed for xxxx phone (some Senn's, some Beyers, etc.). Probably doesn't cost so much to design/build, even if for a niche segment. And they can charge more for it as a specialty design. Actually, I've had pretty good luck using a cable to up the impedence. I drove some AKG 271's very nicely out of the Lunchbox amp, with a 200ohm cable adapter. Not the best of all solutions, but works well. Still fondly remember that combo. All that said, I'm not getting this amp.....

Wow, sad to hear indeed.... Reports are conforming that he died, and they are theorizing suicide. Merry F-in Christmas Rest In Peace.

EDIT: also a few tracks from this

Great Ethereal Mellow Pop from the 80's/90's....

Been in So many frigging meetings at work, couldn't even stop and listen in the last few days....so finally got some time..... Bauhaus: Singles 1979-1983 vol's 1 & 2

Thanks all! Hopstretch, I DID shovel the walk....and the driveway. But it felt good to breath some cool clean air, and get this fat ass excercising a bit. Otherwise, a good "veg day" spent part of the time with my wife and son, watching the Bruins beat up Toronto and Phil Kessel go -3 on the game (DVR'd), and watching the Patriots choke like the Red Sox of yore...oh, well, can't be perfect.... "Bayou Catfish" for dinner tonight at a local fish restaurant.....yum. Love my family, happy they are in my life. Gettin' old don't suck when life is like this!

My favorite band, and a nice respite from the insanity....

Either that's a cool "motion" cover, or I've been working too hard today!

Kirsty MacColl "Galore" RIP......

Probably my favorite Xmas album....

(selections from....)

David Slyvian - Secrets of the Beehive

I get no noise when I cut my cable.....

Selections from these two:

Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions - Bavarian Fruit Bread

My library uses Madgascar Ebony. Bully on you, I say But yeah, I'd be surpirsed if they built them, too. And I think the pads are indeed very odd.

This is perhaps my favorite album of theirs....great stuff..... For me: Chameleons UK - Tripping Dogs and same band, What Does Anything Mean Basically

Hope that works out well; it looks kinda nice for the size. I ended up biting on the Chestnut Hill George, due Veteran's Day. Not going to have too much listening time initially - lots of day and night plans, then family stuff even on the weekend - but hope to get a good taste of it quickly enough.

re:assholes

^^^ Saw this on Letterman last night, funny stuff. He was doing a parody of the 60 Minutes special on the H1N1 vaccine, and showed this as a reason why it's not as "available" as it should be.....

How many shopping days left....?

To change the direction completely, I just got an email from buy.com with 50% off the Chestnut Hill George in it.... I like the remote on it, good stuff for us lazy folk.
