Those make-a-wish foundation people really know how to deliver.

That looks like a meat lover's paradise.

I can't decide of WC Olo Garb is demented mad genius, or demented mad schizophrenic diagnosably needs medication -- I submit the entire video, but for those of you who don't have the patience to watch the whole thing (presumably those of us who are either ( a ) fascinated by dementia, or ( b ) really into synthesizers -- this is, after all, a 30 minute [!] synthesizer demo), check out the sequence from 9:23 to 11:13: EDIT: Srsly, WTF?!?

Oh. Fuck. Yeah. Oh Land is working with Tricky.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b8W1tFFs3M This is funny as shit: Attack of the Show's Candace Bailey goes for a ride The laughs start at 2:27, but this is about cars, so you guys are going to watch the whole thing.

Good luck with that. There's a reason I'm not in showbiz. Oh, hey, so that means the mother of your DJ friend since it's their sister, yah? Make them run interference if her wrath turns on you.

Really? Oh, you mean REAL DIYers...

It's called "post-rock", which has a strong legacy in the alternative pop-rock world, but you know, 'alternative' is so vague... I do like the "angel voices" analogy, though. I haven't heard the new one, but of the previous, () is still my favourite.

Filling in for knucks a little bit:

This is outstanding. Techno-thriller, with classic Stephenson humour, but not done ridiculously -- more humanly, like Whedon -- the characters have a sense of humour, and that's where it manifests, in their thoughts, words, actions, etc.

Yeah, I need to go back and listen to that again, that was outstanding.

Damn. Just damn.

Lollers. If he danced he'd be just a blur. Or just let us know a bit more in advance.

Sweet, hopefully you are still DJing -- this may be the first time I caught it in time. Listening now.

You know, I didn't think of this until just now, but yesterday was the 4th -- I wonder if there was a virus that I missed? I hope not, I'd feel really stupid if I was taken by one of those things. That said, I think it really was the hard drive, because the drive I was using was a "smart" drive, and was reporting imminent failure before it actually failed. But that said, I could see a virus spinning a disk to death.

OMG, the condom flowers are awesome! I know what I want for my next floral arrangement/centerpiece. Also, the prevaids poster is mesmerizing. Going to their site... Oh. My.

That's an early Jamie Powell (the blonde girl).

Who is this? Oh, tyrion, well okay then: Happy Birthday! (party favour noise)

Mmm...Bánh mì...

Me, yesterday: had a wedge of cheese the prior day, so spent the first half of yesterday lying in bed with a stomach ache -- remind me never to eat an entire wedge of cheese in one day, ever again. Spent the second half moping -- my fucking hard drive in my laptop crashed! (I think it had a delayed heat stroke from Monday -- it felt hot, but I had the A/C on, so I just assumed I was having a sinus infection something or something.) Fortunately, I still had the old one, and I managed to save my resume' and some java work that I was in the middle of. Still, very frustrating. Lost at least one FLAC file. Today: Forgot my password on my old hard drive, so reset it, ran all the upgrades on the linux partition, installed Eclipse. Need to find me a local Bánh mì place. Or Shawarma. EDIT: Man, I hate when that happens. I go to maps.google.com, focus on my immediately surrounding area, then enter "shawarma" or "banh mi", and it zooms out the map, and shoves my house in the lower left hand corner of the screen -- the closest of either of those inside the beltway. Chinese it is. I have found an excellent cheap Chinese place, and an excellent Pilin-priced [$10 to $15] Thai place. And of course, Subway. This. I had a diabetic friend who had an accident and didn't have the time off, and was going to take too long to heal, and people stepped up (especially people like me and my boss Jeff, who always 'lost' at the 'use or lose' point of the year anyway).

Wharfedale has a reputation for the sound that I like -- it's been recommended to me by several diverse people after I explained my tastes. If you can get them for only a couple hundred dollars, it's probably worth trying.

Happy Birthday, Birgir! (party favour noise)

I do need to brush up on my running from zombies skill.
