Monday Morning Quarter-in-the-Jukebox: a day late, a dollar short, and looking for some sheets of leather…

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

so…I’m just starting to recover from Saturday night’s celebration of Su’s graduation from law school.
I’ve been told (and sorta remember) that Druzba and I were singing up a storm in the back of Jessie’s car — Erika supposedly has about 40 minutes of proof recorded on her phone. One of the tunes was Tiny […]

Monday Morning Quarter-in-the-Jukebox: his brain is gone

Monday, May 16th, 2005

so…today, I just can’t choose 5 tunes…enjoy…
Today is the 10th anniversary of the 5.16.95 Phish show at the Voter’s for Choice benefit in Lowell, MA. They debuted 9 songs that day - these two are pretty rare (Spock’s Brain was only played 8 times of the 470 shows after its debut, and Glide II was […]

maybe spammers are good for something…

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

so…nobody’s pregnant…
…that said, I think that the spammers that are getting through my spam filters might be good for one thing: baby names. It appears that they’re all using a girls’ name generator:
Karyn Harmony
Kristin Kathie
Earline Gretta
Katherine Johnetta
Adelina Camie
Alexandria Delora
Reba Gertrud
that’s all…

…nobody’s pregnant

Monday, May 9th, 2005

Blind Melon - The Pusher

- Caring Is Creepy
- New Slang
- Saint Simon
Steely Dan - Any Major Dude Will Tell You

what do you mean I can’t have another latte? I can have as many lattes as I want…I have a card!

Friday, May 6th, 2005

so…my company got a new coffee maker this week: one of those single serving jobbies…serving up pipping hot Green Mountain coffee!
mmmm…Rainforest Nut…
…let’s just say that I’ve started the blood-doping process; if all goes as planned, I’ll be pumping high-test through my veins by noon.

I bet you’ve never seen the Pink Panther and Scooby Doo in the same room at the same time…

Thursday, May 5th, 2005

so…maybe it’s my network at work, or just how Yahoo pools its data, but lately I’ve noticed that people on my Yahoo list login and logout at the same time as each other.
Maybe it’s Su logging in as Marc logs out, or, it’s Wendy logging in as Druzba signs off…
…and all I can think of […]

the high heat: baseball-themed beer quest

Wednesday, May 4th, 2005

so…here’s the list of baseball-themed beers that I’ve found, so far. Let me know if you know of some that I’ve left off the list. (I’ve had the beers in bold.)

Boston Beer Works’s Bambino Ale

Leinenkugel Ballyard Brewery’s Rally Red

tastes just like a knuckleball floats

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

so…my new beer drinking task for the Summer is to find and drink any baseball themed beers.
Tonight’s selection: Stone Coast’s Knuckleball Bock — pretty damn tasty! I’ve had three since I got home, and it’s treating me right. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a pilsnery beer…it was great with the bourbon salmon […]

when spammers just can’t get it right

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

so…the barriers to creating spam or getting into the comment spam business must have come down a bit because the last bunch of comment spam (which WordPress so deftly blocks for moderation) I’ve received must have been created by a moron: there was nothing in the spam!
“Please check out these links.”
But, there were no […]
