You are lost

Work.  Clean.  Sleep.

And somehow in between all this I find some time to amuse myself as well.  I found a great article on the rise of  nerdcore while drinking coffee.

I also read in the Wall Street Journal an editorial that blamed the lackluster work ethic and unprecedented sense of entitlement of America’s current youth on  Mr. Rogers .

I’ve got a bunch of other crap I’m waiting on at the moment, like my car for example.  Over a week to fix a goddamn dent that magically appeared while it was in for repairs.  Even if I wasn’t moving I’d never go to Hellgate Conoco again.  Sad too, they’d been so good to me and my family over the years.  Assholes (well at least the one guy is an asshole and he ruined it for me forever.  I used to recommend them to people, never again).

Someday Sara’s going to read through some of these comments of mine and critique my grammar and such, and rightly so.  I blame the heat.  It’s been so hot; 5 days of 100 plus temperatures.  Today is a little cooler, only 90-something.   Maybe we’ll get some cool lightning storms again tonight.

Someday I’ll get around to upgrading some of the features on here so I can have it do all the cool stuff I want it to do, but that’ll be a month or so before I get time.

I have a newfound appreciation for jug band music.  You think of modern techno and electronica groups, maybe a good example for this would be Blue Man Group or Meat Beat Manifesto.  How do they make their music?  By taking common items and sounds and mixing them together to create new rhythms and grooves.  Jug bands took common household items like washboards, jugs, saws, etc. and did the exact same thing.  When you think of it like that, jug band music was a predecessor of techno by about 100 years or so, yes?

Whatever.  I’m going to go smoke.
