Argh! Verizon to offer $200 rebate to recent buyers of non-iPhone phone if they want an iPhone. Missed it by...well, months, but I still should be able to get one out of them later. June of 2012.

Jesus, dude, that looks like a horror movie waiting to happen. Start filming and find a director and some hot teens stat.

Captain Ahab, "Acting Hard" and "I Don't Have a Dick" from The End of Irony -- free here -- fucking awesome weird uncategorizable stuff. "I Don't Have a Dick" may have the greatest lyrics ever, start with that. Rest of the album available for preview.

Why you in the hospital? Hope you okay.

I drove home in snow last night (2am!), but it was gone by the time I got up.

(nods in solidarity @ all the Schlafly love, raises air bottle)

Be careful with that stuff, you could go blind. I'm already hard-of-seeing

Yup. EDIT: And I'm sufficiently happy with them, that I'm going to get a few other things from them (Return to Forever, Stanley Clarke, The Clarke/Duke Project -- I think I already got the Robin Trower ones).

Al Di Meola, Cielo e Terra / Soaring Through a Dream / Tirami Su -- I actually started seeing him live during this time, so I have a particular fondness for this period. It's when he started eschewing speed for beauty (not that the two are mutually exclusive, but the one was certainly distracting from the other, since he was famous for it).

Oooh...surround, too. Get Ray Kimber over there, stat.

On the bright side, the frogs will take care of any potential mosquito problem, and you should be much more concerned about the health risks surrounding mosquitos than the noise the frogs make. I know, that's easy for me to say, etc., and I don't mean to belittle your problem, I just wanted to warn you that you may not want to take care of the frog problem while inadvertantly exacerbating the mosquito problem. You need to fill the pool. So: dirt. Lots of it. Nothing fancy, but not pure clay neither.

I like hearing about musical instruments.

I love the way it transitions from the jubulence of Spanish Eyes to the mysticism of Isfahan. All the transitions are really wonderful.

I had forgotten that -- tres awesome.

I had some Eau de Cookie ...V? Is that what I'm up to? Anyway, it was made with Wolaver's, and it turned out pretty good.

I listen to burn-in CD's.

Al Di Meola, Splendido Hotel, (BGO remaster) such great music

Thanks, now I have Donovan stuck in my head. And also a hankering for a Mello Yello

Nice on the Moth/Eddie Current, Al!

Not today, but yesterday got together with luvdunhill and mypasswordis for a nice little pizza & beers dinner @ Pizzeria Paradiso. My first time. Mah speech got a little slurred -- good thing I wasn't driving home. It was nice.

If you have to go to bed, the one in the bedroom; if you have to live...

Al Di Meola, Elegant Gypsy/Casino. BGO remaster(s)

(scoffs)

We could always go back. Of course, they'll probably have a beertini by then.
