You had your lawyers send a letter to LISCO Internet telling them that my blog post is in violation of LISCO’s appropriate use policy and Iowa defamantion law both, and you gave them five days to have the offending post removed. However: 1. This web site is not hosted at LISCO. You (or your lawyers) […]
This crap makes me crazy: Movie studios want the US Supreme Court to rule that the developers of the Grokster and Morpheus P2P software should be held responsible for the illegal trading of copyrighted software using their technologies. I realize that when you (believe that you have or will) lose money due to new technologies, […]
After work yesterday, I drove home and made a huge platter of nachos for dinner, which Brett and I ate – as usual – in front of the TV. (Brett won’t eat at the table, which is why our dining table is pushed against a wall in the kitchen and doesn’t even have chairs in […]
Friday morning I went to Jonas’ house and auditioned for him and Greg. They liked me, so now I’m busy for the next three weeks: I’ll be rehearsing Tues-Thurs. nights next week, then recording Tues-Thurs. the next two weeks. It’ll be a nice little project. Not hugely challanging musically, which is good since I’m totally […]
I downloaded this track off the Internet. It’s a bootleg. It says it’s “Prince with Miles Davis – Live at Paisley Park.” Now, it’s definitely Prince. And it’s definitely live. But where’s Miles Davis? The hook in the beginning of the track is probably a keyboard, and the horn scat at the end is a […]
Right now I’m sitting at the computer catching up on my blogroll, and obsessively refreshing a hot tub forum page to see if anyone’s responded to my query about our new hot tub. Yes, I said “new hot tub.” My adorable-but-totally-redneck husband went out and bought a spa that hasn’t worked in a couple years […]
Stella developed a lump on her back, last summer sometime. It didn’t seem to bother her and wasn’t growing, plus her mom has bumps all over, so we didn’t worry about it. But a couple of weeks ago it suddenly decided to double in size, so of course Mr. B elected me to take Stella […]
Work’s been slow, so I’ve spent a fair bit of time over the past two days surfing blogs. There seem to be two kinds. The first kind is mostly links. Links to funny stuff, weird stuff, time-wasting stuff, political stuff, or links to more links to stuff. The other kind seems to be deeply personal […]
Around 10:30, Stella and Bindu went nuts at something out the window. So we all went outside, and the ‘something’ turned out to be two somethings: two shorthaired yellow labs. One was young, male, friendly, enthusiasic, and cute as hell. The other was female and I think she was older; maybe even his mom – […]
I know you’re not gonna believe this, but I basically had a blast in Misery. A blast! It was so fun! Seriously! I left LISCO at a quarter after twelve Thursday. Picked Joe up at 1-Stop Rental, drove through Taco John’s, went to his house. Left his house, went to buy an atlas at a […]
