Listened to it on Tidal earlier -- breaking up the Schubert spate for a bit

chicken soup, actual (as opposed to the "for the soul" variety)

(shudders)

Someone put this on a t-shirt, I might have to get it, laughed myself into a coughing fit all over again:

Didn't realize you were having health issues, glad you're getting back in the groove, and YAY PURK!

Also the growing realization that those people are in the dwindling minority.

Agua de Annique box set The Gentle Storm box set ...both in the car, at home, trying to listen to as much of this list as I can.

Michelle Renée Yeah, I know it's not very Cuban. Ana-Maria?

She's a bit of a tawny chestnut (in colorings).

So cute!

Háppy Birthdæy, Birgir! (party favour noise)

Sure, why not: Happy belated birthday! (party favour noise) Nicely done, by the way. Contrite without being a complete bootlicking toady. I have hopes for this one.

One of the people putting up my sister is having a birthday today, so I'm hanging out with a bunch of fit, well groomed, well dressed, dare I say cute guys, and a couple shlubs and their wives and me and my sister. Just thought I'd make Steve jealous. Edit: Apparently, some of the cute guys are straight. Who knew?

Maybe I should re-read the welcome PM, it's been through a lot of editing -- and by committee -- so who knows what it looks like now. Does it mention the 13-step hazing...?

Graham, you make food look so porny fucking delicious.

(whimper)

That looks great, Mike, almost purpleheart.

What? We certainly don't advertise this place as easy-going anything. Go back and read your welcome PM.

Halleluzhah! Taking the opportunity to listen to last couple weeks' showreels.

They have those. I thought. Nope, just looked, most of them don't have a display...they expect you to have access to one, or for watching movies. But it's basically a hard drive with a play button. I wonder if finagling a small 2" display would give you functionality, or if you'd still need something else. So if you don't need ripping, what about one of those other personal music devices that the people on head-fi are always going on about? Like the Sony or the Fiio.

Ooooooh, so what you want is an iPod, except with built-in ripper, basically. Sorry, disregard my suggestions.
