Some of the jokes may be lost on you, Steve. And thanks for the correction.

So last couple days were something like: worse/better/worse/better. If I'm not better tomorrow, I'll go to the doctor. Not sure why I'm not coughing as much today as I was yesterday. Hopeful: I'm getting better; fearful: my body has just given up on expectorating and has fallen into surrender to pneumonia. But let's put it this way -- I was coughing so much yesterday, that my abs hurt today, like workout hurt.

SPCECO, Dark Matter

Yeah, they haven't released any Living Stereo on SACD in years. And no samplers, AFAIK.

I laughed my ass off at Eliza Shlesinger's two stand-up specials. It's probably better to watch Freezing Hot first and War Paint second. #raptorvag

Coughed. All. Fucking. Day.

Finished Beggar King -- quite good, although the torture scenes are...uh...quite detailed and explicit (I think he was going for historically accurate). My recent shoulder problems had me squirming and flinching sympathetically.

I think you heard that wrong -- was what you heard something more along these lines?

Bunch o' Snarky Puppy on YouTube: This is one of the more energetic ones:

Hot and Sour soup -- sweating profusely, but induced, so melikey

A friend of mine has an ackDac whose battery just died, and he's wondering if it's worth it to replace the $75 battery (if he even can?) or if there's a good current DAC for around $200 that he should just upgrade to. I'm long since out of the market for DACs in that price range -- anyone know? Doesn't even need USB, just RCA.

It stood out because it was one of the least offensive ones? I kind of like 'Slippery Gypsy'. (Please don't ruin it by explaining it.)

That actually makes more sense than my explanation. I went to lunch with him and MPI once to a place in Rockville we used to call cheap Chinese -- fusion place, they sold sushi and Chinese -- I saw them both order a full helping of both (Chinese and sushi) and not flinch at the size of the portions delivered and both chowed down their entire meal.

Ah, the metabolism of youth, I miss it.

Isn't that the one with the wonky seal?

Blur, The Magic Whip

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

(drooling)

Yeah, I have yet to see him live, I need to one of these days...

The Neighbourhood -- I've been listening to a lot of Archive lately, and they've been reminding me of someone, couldn't put my finger on until just now -- and it's not just how close the songs "Fuck U" and "Afraid" are -- I just really dig this sound -- British, alternative, slightly trip-hoppity. Both are recommended. Archive are more ... I don't know, addicitve? ... to me, but The Neighbourhood are probably more accessible.

Looks like it needs charging. EDIT: Some reporter out there bought one in-store
