Alright, so back to the JBLs, but which ones? http://www.jbl.com/everest-headphones.html They have the 300, the 700, and the 750. Tempted to get the 750s, because 50 moar better. EDIT: Er, make that the 310, the 710, and the 750. And the 310 comes in purple! I'm so torn -- get the purple, or get the moar better?

Just a mini.

What's good about it is that even if you weren't a gamer, it's still a fun read. I was kind of surprised it would be made into a movie, there are a lot of very specific game references that are bound to the plot, I'll be curious which ones they kept and which ones they substituted. There are a lot of legal logistics to be lll...can't think of an el word....wrangled. Did you see the RP1 episode of Community? It's called Digital Estate Planning, I thought it was the closest we were going to get to a movie version. Me: ripped through more M.R. Forbes. The man knows how to pace a book, and I really like his approaches to common tropes -- he tries not to do the same thing twice, and it's like Ghost in the Shell -- sometimes it's a buddy cop story, sometimes it's an intergalaxial thriller with politics, sometimes it's fantasy, sometimes it's science fiction, but invariably it's always a fun read. I think I'm all caught up with everything he's written at this point. He'll never be confused for Ernest Hemingway or any other super-literate authors, but I'm not reading it to build my vocabulary, unless you want to count the fictitious species "Plixian"...

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Happy birthday! (party favour noies)

(squints) That's gravel? (wanders off to get an eye exam)

I'm confused -- are we doing euphemisms or aren't we?

I caught up on Preacher season 2 -- what a weird show. What a great, weird show.

(squints) Is that why you have yours so close to the edge, fire safety? So that if anything goes wrong, you can kick it into the water? Even if it's not, you have to admit, that's some entertaining imagery...

I nearly ran over some ducks on Fairview Park Drive. (Jeff, was this a common problem?)

I bet it'll still be delicious.

Wait, we're discussion actual Poptarts now? I thought this was all innuendo. Butter for lube, poptarts for ... is nymphs a unisexual term for someone brazenly sexual or brazen about their sexuality?

5 hours?!?!? Isn't that the normal length of time between meals?

Well, those are the two best songs from the Coverdale era (those two and Mistreated), I think everyone prefered Machine Head era purp, though I prefer the early Rod Evans era. I have this weird list of bands I'd like to cover 4 songs of, each. Deep Purple is one of them. I would cover "Rat Bat Blue" -- before Helloween covered them, I thought I was alone in this. And yes, Soldier of Fortune is one of them, too.

3Dio "Free Space Pro II" binaural microphone. They have an entry level model at $500. Wasn't sure where to put this, ultimately decided here, as they look funny. Oh, and "omni" model:

Please post pics.

Autocorrect changed "cartoon" to "Arcturian". XD

Not all that surprising, considering Coverdale was in Purple at the time those songs were recorded. When did that come out? 2015, huh. Will have to try to listen to it once.

Even 'innuendo' can be heard as a double-entendre.

Ah, pumpkin curry, I miss you so.

Wait, Rocky was a girl? RIP, June. 99 is a good run.

Happy birthday, Antonio! (party favour noise)

So a little over a ton for quad? I hope the bottom travel of the volume knob is accurate. I might crank it from 0.1 to 0.2 when I'm feeling dumbass.

Moraz/Bruford, Music for Piano and Drums - Live in Maryland -- I was at this concert, and I only just found out this recording existed.
