Well no, not compared to Brent. I don't think anyone has a fat head compared to Brent. Is 7 5/8 the British sizing system? All I know is I can almost never one-size-fits-all hats.

I'm not sure how you get "...somewhere between an XL and a 2XL..." from 24/π, but I'll go with that. Yes, I have a fat head. Go figure!

The Boxer Rebellion, Promises

Sounds delish. Chipotle advertises one of their meats as barbacoa -- are you saying that's not the real thing?

...

No, there's nothing wrong with buying stuff first, and then selling whichever you like less...it's the not getting around to selling stuff that's the bad part.

Gazpacho is good stuff Me: Namlook/Montana - Labyrinth -- synthetic ambience priorly listened to Fischer's Bruch -- verah nahs.

I'm good with that pic being out of focus.

And another, "fuck yeah" on finishing. I know from back when I ran 10K's that just finishing was my biggest accomplishment.

Oh, gosh, I don't know, probably the Heifetz on RCA Living Stereo, just because Heifetz. I tend more towards listening to all sorts of renditions rather than trying to pick a favourite. I just rule out bad renditions (which is rare, I tend to like whichever one I'm listening to at the moment). I've probably listened to the Midori more than any other, because I picked it up early in my SACD collecting. The winner is me.

Before - Cool for School -- a benefit album, with many school-themed songs During - Ella Enchanted soundtrack -- I'm in a silly mood, it's got a bunch of 70's pop radio era covers on it ("Don't Go Breakin' My Heart", "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing", "Strange Magic", "Somebody to Love" -- pretty much my 7" singles collection) After - Gonna sample a bunch of The Neighborhood's "related artists", as per Spotify/Last.fm/etc.

I will have to listen to that Julia Fischer tomorrow, I didn't realize she had done the Bruch (one of my more favorite violin concertos [alright, one of the few I know, ackshully]). Oh, and apparently she's done the paganini caprices as well. Wow, I'm like half a dozen albums out of date... But right now I am listening to Just Tell Me that You Want Me (a fairly recent Fleetwood Mac tribute by "alternative" artists)...can't wait to hear Billy Gibbons & Co. doing "Oh Well".

Dude, it's a joke. You should forward it to your friends and relatives in LA, I bet they'd get it.

Bad time to read Tommyknockers, Dan. Ditters on the stay safe y'all....er...midwesterners?

Huh. So, theoretically, we could make our own DACs with a resistor and a capacitor? (And then run it through like a phono amplifier without the RIAA curve)?

Oh, well that's different.

WAT.

"And if you live by the rules of 'it's over' then I'm sure that that makes sense" Dido, "White Flag" -- I know this is supermarket drivel, but it reduces me to a tear-well-up-eyed mess every time I ear it. There's something about the clear purity of her voice and straight delivery that just adds to the sincerity and heart-felt-ness of this song. To me, anyway.

Aye, I figured it out, just thought you'd enjoy my mental image of your statement. Fish sauce on left, cabinet on right.

No, seriously, I didn't even know what umami is before now, not sure I know now. But will do further research. (puts fish sauce on shopping list for tomorrow) I do love me some fish sauce. Even someone I know who is allergic to fish likes fish sauce (specifically, that Thai beef salad that doesn't taste right without fish sauce).

What does the fish sauce do?

The "whatever she wants" option is best, if she didn't make you sleep on the couch for celebrating mother's day a week late.

Arrested Development -- I never finished it from when I started watching it way back when, then took it off Netflix before I was done, then put it back on.
