Aye, I missed you. That one in the lower left is masterful -- two faces instead of one. I love you, Tardar Sauce cat.

WTF, PA?

I tried to correct Amazon on the picture associated with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FPZQQU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER'>the deluxe edition of the first Emerson, Lake & Palmer album, but they sent me back a message last night that they stand by their incorrectness.

Oh my, you find the craziest shit sometimes.

No, city is big, not lawyer is big.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday have indeed passed, but there will still be some good deals.

Yeezh, Haj, and x2 on hoping it passes quickly for you. Drink plenty of fluids, don't get dehydrated. Throwing up cool water that you just drank is a unique experience, though. Me: Made tea last night. What a joy! No more adding cold water to the teapot then filling the rest with boiling in hopes of getting the temperature just right, then undershooting (from 212 down), then waiting until it's right -- just set the temp, pour, and set to steep. I wish I had known about this years ago. (I got the Oster equivalent of that Cuisinart that was pointed out.)

You really shouldn't skimp on watch winders -- all the cheap ones end up magnetizing your watches. You really should stick with Orbita or...and I forget the name of the other big brand, Wolf? Or just wear it at least once every 28 days for a full day.

Oh my, it's sillyhuge™. It'll fit in well with my other sillyhuge things -- 30 inch 2560x1600 monitor, Invicta and Nixon watches, and... ...and... (scratches head) That's about all I can think of...er...that's about all of which I can think. Alright, maybe my bass cab.

Yeah, well, they were closed by the time I got out of the house. As a matter of fact, my only choices were Wegmans and Target, so I had to settle, but I did find one that was digitally controlled, so I should be alright for the foreseeable future. I will eventually get a Zojirushi. But I'll probably still stop by CostCo tomorrow, I need to stop by there anyway. The latter being Miss Cayman, who is competing for Miss Universe, and was not dressed like that at the time.

Thanks, I'll stop by CostCo. I actually haven't been able to leave the apartment, waiting for my Samsung Galaxy Note II to arrive. Fucking FedEx.

Very cool -- it doesn't boil, just bring the water up to the appropriate temperature? That would be perfect for me.

Switching to art rock for a bit: Black Noodle Project, Ready to Go, and Wolverine, Communication Lost I like their original music, but that cover of Faith No More's "From Out of Nowhere" was kind of awful.

Yeah, I wish, but I live in an apartment.

I blew up my electric kettle. Overfilled it on the previous fill, brought it to a boil. Poured it into the clothes washer (was trying to sterilize my pillows). Filled it less high but still almost full, set it to boil. Next thing I know, I hear an electric "pfff...", I turn around, and the cord is on fire next to the socket. I of course pulled it out and put it out. I'm presuming I did something to the element such that it was sucking too high a current, and no breakers threw, and the fire happened at the point of least resistance (and therefore most heat)? Wouldn't mind knowing exactly what happened, as I don't understand it. Did it arc? I do know enough not to do that again, and will be purchasing a new electric kettle in the morning, and making a mental note not to overfill it again. But I wouldn't mind being reassured that it was indeed my fault, rather than it just failing in some random fashion sped up by my actions, as I do walk away from the electric kettle all the time. Is it Zojirushi time?

That's some serious fucking English.

Well, I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note II and Nexus 10 both coming, so we'll see about Spotify, but Animoog doesn't exist for Android. Another complication is the connector.

I liked the second song more than the first one, but neither more than my previous favorites by them. Like you said -- not really fair to judge based on such little material. But I loved the clip for no other reason than the tour announcement at 2:00.

It's mostly for Spotiy and the Moog app, I think, but who knows, might play the occasional game. And yes, I believe density is the same, since it's just longer, I probably should have said 'real estate whore', rather than 'pixel whore', since the latter is too close to 'pixel density whore'. And yes, I'm all three. Engraving also makes it harder to steal.

You know, it just registered that my eventual purchase of the iTouch has just been confused -- do I get the new 1136x640 version, being the pixel whore that I am, or do I get the older 960x640 version which is on limited discount, and save $170 (US$399 vs. US$229)? The old one only had a single core, no? I mean, those extra 112,640 pixels probably aren't worth $170, but that extra core might be. I'm comparing 64GB version to 64GB version. Comparing 32GB to 32GB, the difference falls to $120. I also lose the possibility of engraving. I think I just convinced myself -- I think I'll wait and get the new one.

Nice. I really like the height you gave that beyond the top of the lamppost -- gives it a very expansive feel.

Nice. You know you did good when your gift gets stolen even once.

The Faint, Danse Macabre, Deluxe Edition -- such a perfect album, from beginning to end. Groovy retro synthpop with guitar, dark lyrics.

I don't think Kevin ordered nuthin' -- that's just Birgir's annual vig.
