I just came across this cool idea on Misocrafty’s blog. I put my iPod on shuffle and wrote down the first 10 songs that played. Now you too can have a glimpse into the fragmented jumble of music that I enjoy.
Running Just Ahead of the Devil - Little Horse
She (Live Version) - Over the Rhine
Me and A Gun - Tori Amos
Find Me In The River - Delirious?
Scarlet - U2
Earthquake Weather - Beck
Clear the Area - Imogen Heap
Multiply - Jamie Lidell
You Gotta Feel It - Spoon
Up The Wolves - The Mountain Goats
I love you iPod. Keep the sweet music coming. And tag! You’re it! (And no cheating…if “Getting Jiggy Wit It” comes up, you have to write it down. Your poor music taste isn’t my problem :-P)
Today is somewhat random…and so I’m going to make a list to jot down the googol of thoughts swimming around in my brain.
bureacracy is frustrating. especially when your security clearance application gets returned after waiting for 3 months because someone lost a form, and you have to start the whole hurry up and wait process all over.
my stash is dwindling, as I’ve made a new hat and quite a few Mason Dixon Washrags (why are they so darn addicting?)…I think a stash stocking trip is order. or SEX* as some dirty minded knitters would call it.
le chantilly brownies have to be the best ever. it was definitely the highlight of my day to enjoy one after lunch.
in a completely undisguised and overt attempt at comment whoring I’ve moved the comment link to a more prominent location, and added a pestering message. if this desperate subtle hint doesn’t work, I may have to put hyptonizing music or videos on the site.
I renewed my long dormant eMusic subscription (now that I have money) and downloaded some good indie tunes, including Sufjan Stevens, Neko Case and Ryan Adams. rock on.
I have a very cool idea for a new pattern swimming around in my head and on the pages of my infamous notebook. I call the concept “knitting fusion”. more info to follow when the idea is more real and less ethereal.
having a garage is probably the single most amazing thing that’s happened to me this year. the very thought of being able to walk into the garage and get in my car or bring in groceries without getting wet when it’s raining it’s simply mindblowing. I’m sure the family of the man who invented the garage is filthy stinking rich, like the people who invented ziploc bags or tin foil.
I’ve been reviewing my signals theory books today, and studying such wonderful things as discrete fourier transforms, aliasing, the nyquist-shannon theorem and the hilbert transform, to name a few. riveting stuff I tell ya. (I know it might sound boring to you, but I really do love it!)
*SEX = Stash Enrichment Expedition. Don’t ask me, I didn’t come up with it.
Ok, that’s about it. Now there are a ( googol - 8 ) thoughts flying around in my head, at least it’s somewhat of an improvement.
So I’ve been a slacker and I was looking through my e-mails and realized that I hadn’t posted the Dye-O-Rama Meme yet! Oops! I suppose in all the confusion I completely forgot that I get to start teaching myself some yarn dyeing skills soon, so I can send someone some sweet hand-dyed yarn. I think I’m going to use my day off this Friday to spend some time at Village Wools stocking up on the necessary tools and mess making equipment.
Anyway, the meme’s kinda long, so continue on if you dare…Muhahaha!
