7:00 PM: Mmmmm, Penguin mints. Someone here at work got a whole box of them as some kind of promo swag. He has a point when he calls it "the perfect late-night snack for geeks: it's got a penguin, it's got caffeine, and it's a breath mint."
Right now I'm waiting for the machine I need to be rebooted and released back into our clutches. Dead time. La. It was a perfect day outside today, warm but not hot, a touch of a breeze just to bring in the smell of the ocean. Difficult to turn away from it and go inside. When the ball park down the street is open next year, I have a sense that days like today, a lot of people will suddenly get ill in the afternoon...
This last batch of CDs has turned out to be 100% Solid Gold Dynomite! good stuff. My brain, she is not too verbal about music right now, though. I will talk more later. But another emphatic recommendation for your listening pleasure - get The Blow-Up, the CD release of the live Television bootleg. The most succinct comment on Television - and especially Television live, which is its own beast - that I ever heard was from a girl I knew in high school (!) who went to see them with me & some other friends, in San Francisco back in those old days of yore. I could see her grip on the arm of her chair getting stronger & stronger as they played "Little Johnny Jewel", and I remember thinking how glad I was that wasn't my leg. After the song she turned to me and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this? It's like sex!!!"
It does bother me a bit, though, that all this music is either new music from old bands or old music from old bands. It's very lame and classic-rock-like. So if any of you kind souls would like to trade some emphatic recommendations of your own for new music, I'd be ever so grateful.
Did I tell you about the killer storms or didn't I? Hmm? They're coming. If they didn't get you this time, don't be smug, you're on the list. Earth VS The Humans. Guess who wins. Hint: which one is oldest?
Willfully blind self-indulgent nebbish or amusingly quirky old coot? And how bout that local sports team? Discuss among yourselves.

unreliable but it's all in good fun. Yep.
