I've been recently accused of spinning old music. Yes I have a soft spot for specific older songs, but it gets my goat every time anyone *dates* me with music. I was easing the sound to a more contemporary one after "She drives me crazy" by FYC (left on the platter by S) and furiously going through his collection, when the comment I mortally feared came in. Argh. Two lessons: - fuck transitions - go through the collection b4 putting anything out
An old man playing the cello on Christmas Eve as warring sides hurl bullets, grenades and bombs against each other. When it comes down to it, will I be able to do the same? Here's to the new year, good news, bad news, friends, strangers, joy. Have a few good ones indeed.
Feeling crappy and nursing a bad throat (not enuff beer?!) so was clicking randomly on play buttons. It works! Try it for yourself!! Here's a random play button:
"You should stop smoking, a friend died of lung cancer at 50." How am I supposed to respond to that? Yes, it's well-meaning advice but how is this different from telling a skydiver that his chute might not open or that he or she might break his legs from landing too hard? Or advising a driver against driving because there are 200 fatal car accidents in Singapore every year. "Stop living cos you'll be dead anyway." To all the nice people out there who want to get their loved ones to quit, let me suggest a better tact, from a 15-year smoker's point of view. Tell them how their lives would be better - greater fitness, better stamina, more energy - if they quit. Tell them that they'd be able to taste wines in their full glory if they stopped. That their loved ones would be better off without them smoking. That they can actually smell the salt on the ocean breeze if they quit.
Looks like the Sarah Palin skits were too popular, NBC's decided to "regionify" them, so that they would only play if you're accessing from a US IP. I've removed the SNL posts, but if you wanna check them out - Google is your friend. :)
