So this wedding me and Lisa went to was in Vermont, the state where an old college roomate of mine came from. Spurred by this I did a quick bit of research and found out that he’s now a Marine Corps Captain, well, reservist captain. Varick was the biggest guy I ever met. They even have a photo of him! And by some weird coincidence, his wife’s baby was due yesterday. Ah the Internet, what’s not to love?
Here’s a good backgrounder on the AudioGalaxy emasculation (earlier here).
I note in passing that SomaFM has stopped broadcasting. The revolution will not be streamed, it seems, thanks to the RIAA. Or maybe not.
I was at a marriage in Vermont last week between a reformed Jew and a Lutheran. They had a Rabbi and a Priest doing the service. The Rabbi was a gay Irishman with a great singing voice. It was a curious affair because sometimes the Rabbi was singing away in Hebrew, other times the Priest was chanting in Latin, and occasionally both of them were simultaneously repeating the same phrases from their shared scriptures, coming through in stereo as it were. Afterwards, at the party, we did the chair dance thing from Fiddler on the Roof.
Maybe you had to be there. I enjoyed it, but some people would have hated it.
Being unemployed I now have a lot more time to watch junk TV and the frequency of those abs buster electro machines is kind of worrying. So I looked at my little Buddah Belly (“cute” according to Lisa) and wondered “What if…?”. Anyway, I resisted dialing the 1800 number and after this temporary insanity had passed, I did some research…
Apparently, the FDA dislikes them as well. Back to the drawing board…
