Ray's Hellburger...with garlic and onions and bread & butter pickle chips.

Even before the guy came out with the cape, I was thinking that she was channeling some of the energy and charisma of Morris Day/the Time. And there's nothing like having a crack backup band. Will definitely check that out.

Mmm...now I want something with garlic. Might have to go out for a late lunch.

The one with the partial erection, awb-vee-us-lee. ah-ah-eh-ih-aw; ah-ah-eh-ih-aw...

That there is sig material.

That means that, as a group, they stole/bought them and are selling them on eBay at a small profit.

That actually looks really good -- scallops and seaweed/kelp/spinach/what is that? And what kind of gravy? Looks garlicky. Oh, and me: not a goddamn thing. Drinking on an empty stomach.

For some reason, that image of them both leaning slightly to their right brings to mind "Cubik" by 808 State.

sorry.

I've got the most bizarre medley stuck in my head: Porcupine Tree, "Anesthetize"/Duran Duran, "Hungry Like the Wolf"

Yeah, that "Nessun Dorma" is always a crowd favorite, innit?

Glee (Joss Whedon's episode) -- a little weak, Neil Patrick Harris really can sing better than any of the cast. Plus, only one new song (?). But I'm not sorry I watched it. Favorite line:

Holy shit, that would rock. (And I haven't really been following this thread religiously -- was having a hard time seeing past it as a big spoon. Also, not in the budget.)

Wait, what? They have an app for that?

No, it was recorded digitally, so I don't even know why they remastered it to HDCD -- sounds exactly the same to my (admittedly jaded) ears. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if you do not intend to decode the HDCD, stay away from it.

I'm not a religious person, so I didn't appreciate the religious aspect of this, but I enjoyed the rest of it. I wonder how much of it is true (both the data presented as fact, and the suppositions that he honestly admitted were still theory and being looked into)?

Mike Oldfield's Amarok has some of that. (Of course, that goes all the way back to Tubular Bells, and he actually lost the one sudden dynamic shift when he re-recorded it.) Also, less so, Jeff Beck's "Star Cycle" from There & Back (I blew the speakers in my dad's Mercury Cougar back in the day with this track, but I did have it cranked pretty high.)

I was more curious how it "looked" on the iPad. Also would be curious what the "lighter" app looks like on the iPad -- does it look like a napalm, or just a really big lighter (cf. spoon/shovel debate).

From memory -- so (a) don't hold me to it, and ( don't ask for which performance -- Also Sprach Zarathustra and 1812 Overture are both pretty dynamic.

Has anyone tried the flashlight app on it yet?

Jesus! And sweet! Fear, awe, and a bit o' thrill. Remind me never to get on your bad side.

Castle -- grrr....

Actually, it wasn't aggression -- they were locked in with him, and he didn't leave them enough food for two weeks, so they resorted to...uh...the last resort, so as not to starve. So the moral of the story is, if you're going to commit suicide, try to arrange for your corpse to be found quickly.

It didn't even register that by "warmer clime" he was referring to Chicago.

Mm-hm.
