Lollers...just a ghost of a bun. I want to try that once. Or perhaps the Flying Dutchman Animal Style...

Is good pupper! Is beautiful pupper.

Unholy carp, that looks awesome. Don't miss First Aid Kit, they're a recent discovery for me, and I love 'em. Jello Biafra?

Well, next time assume that's girth, not length, and you won't be so sad.

4cm!

More Game of Thrones hilarity:

Yeah, memes, eh?

Thanks for that. Last I read, Vicki had stubbornly shuttered in. Glad she saw sense.

The Farewell concert is one of those concerts that I watch/listen every once in a while. It's a really great cross section of their career.

Any smokiness to the flavor? Too soon? No, seriously, that sounds fantastic.

I have no idea what you're trying to say, sometimes, wink. You ever heard of "words"? The bass is even more overblown on these than on the Sony MDR-Z7. But it's nice and impactful, so I think I can get used to it. Why doesn't the noise-canceling filter out voices that well? When I use the cable, it keeps cutting out, so I'm using Bluetooth.

Amanda Palmer and Edward Ka-Spel

What gave it away, "Knight of the Thimble", or the rather too literate, "Fatuous Pauper"? The right column sounds like Ian Anderson's lyrics, for some reason. Like Minstrel in the Gallery or somesuch. A comment I got on Facebook: "Sounds like the lineup of the greatest festival ever" Unrelated:

I don't know. It's kind of like hearing Spirit of Eden for the first time -- it's so much a departure from the kind of music we hear every day, that it's shocking, but... I think the intention was to tell a story from the perspective outside of the normal sphere of influence of one of his usual stories, and how he (Bond) would be perceived by those people. Kind of like how Cloverfield is a monster movie told from the perspective of the people outside the normal scope of one of those stories. I'm not sure I've ever figured out the romance novels for men aspect, and again -- don't really feel like revisiting his novels, so will take your word for it. Are you reading them in order? I vaguely remember Bond getting really beat up in several of them -- Casino Royale (which made the second movie of that name, but still watered down), Moonraker, Live & Let Die?

Yeah, that was the weird one. Put me off from reading any more James Bond, although it was a bit of a delayed reaction -- I think I still read the entire ouevre up until that point. Kind of brilliant premise in hindsight, but I don't think I'll revisit it. Ian Fleming was a twisted fuck. Me: just finished The Genome by Sergei Lukyanenkov -- fucking brilliant take on love of different varieties, sex, violence, space flight, virtual reality, and a murder mystery (complete with a clone with Sherlock Holmes spliced on to him). A little dry in the delivery, but I blame it being translated from the Russian. If you can get past the dry delivery and you enjoy science fiction, it's highly recommended. It's the first book I've read by him that's outside of the Watch series. The last time I looked, none of his other books had been translated. Now there's two. I look forward to more. Now reading the next space war book from M.R. Forbes, and then on to the new Seanan McGuire.

Perhaps. I would tell Floridians to head for the hills, but they don't have any.

Oh, I see. You want to make generalizations based on your statistically inferior dataset. Carry on.
