Of Mind Songs and Monkeys
Category: life

For the past two days, I've had the New Order song "Bizarre Love Triangle" playing in my head, and it isn't going away. It's driving me nuts.

Going further off on a tangent, these guys so totally have the right idea about how to spend an icy winter.

If Buffalo had hot springs, and I was Japanese, and I was a monkey, I would so totally be a Buffalo Japanese hot spring monkey.

IE DOM salvation at last
Category: web

Finally someone has come up with a solution that will let (e:paul) develop natively for Internet Explorer while making sure that firefox-using (e:peeps) can still use their favorite browser.

That is such a scam that my web filter at work blocks it as unsafe because of hacking.

Familiar Weather
Category: weather

Recently, the weather has been kinda like the winters back home. Cold, unbearably rainy and wet (not like a good dry snow) and punctuated by ice storms.

If the trend has to continue, I'd certainly hope that a Bojangles would fall down from the sky and relieve my sweet tea withdrawal.

Latinas on Elmwood sells Luizianne tea bags. Best way to make a good southern brew of ice tea up in this here north, bless its heart.

Pure As The Driven Snow
Category: music

I need to cut back on the caffeinated beverages.

The entire day, I've Grandmaster Flash's song "White Lines" running through my head. While I probably could never get tired of hearing that thumpin' bass line intermixed with people screaming "Freeze! Rock!", this is getting a little sick.

I used to love this song when I was younger. At the time I had no idea what it was about. Start the song at around 0:45 and the line "Something like a phenomena" occurs. I had no idea that it's origin was in this song.

Checklist
Category: goals

Goals for this weekend:

1. Make a dish from this book.

So far, it looks like a pretty decent cookbook with fairly hassle-free recipes for simple stuff.

2. Read more Hitcherhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, so I will be even less oblivious to the cultural references on Slashdot than I currently am, and will thus know where my towel is.

3. Drag my lazy butt to see Perfume before it goes out of theaters.

4. Try to do something social with another human being.

So I may actually have someone to go to the Pink with this weekend?
