Sorry this only applies to Bay Area people (unless this band makes it big) but if you live around here, you gotta check out Quart of Blood Technique. They are a fast punky blast, doing super speeded-up covers of Depeche Mode, The Cure, and The Beach Boys, plus lots of other stuff and originals. Big smiles on all the…

Hey man, I had his posse t-shirt.

I haven't watched the show because I don't get that channel (I think). I've been a fan for a long time and think he is charming and humble in person (and in his earlier writing).
As you say, his style might not translate well to this style show. His earnest enthusiasm combined with his tendency to then downplay that…

I liked it. I also liked the Mod Squad reboot. I am a sucker for that stuff, I guess.

Oh! Maybe one of you will remember this: I want to say it was Incredible Hulk…some girl was drowned under the water mill and her sister feels guilty and maybe it's a ghost or something? It's definitely not the Little House on the Prairie episode where they get trapped in the ice house (and maybe in the water mill as…

It's not bad? Formulaic, some wooden acting from the main actor, pretty easy to guess whodunnit. BUT, the overarching plot lines take some surprising curves and the science (forensic and otherwise), historical drop-ins, and supporting characters are fun. It treats women really well, too. Check out the first episode…

What does he do with the pits? Is he secretly baking you a pie?

Week Two and the song is still stuck in my head. I can't wait to hear all the Bootie mashups with it.

Last course of my master's program started this week. Best thing, besides the good instructor who I've had before, is that everyone so far is motivated and excited to be in the class. It's online and if people aren't into it, it is deadly dull.

Exciting! I took the Penn State "Maps and the Geospatial Revolution" MOOC last year and it was one of the best online courses I've ever done.

Ranganathan's facets seem up your alley: personality, material, energy, space, and time.

I never heard of this dude before so I just put him on Spotify. Green Language sounds like autopilot, especially compared to these first couple tracks on Glass Swords. Thanks for the new listen.

Dang it, that is the second time today I thought something was Pacific time instead of Eastern. Wait, what? Now they are showing it again? Weird.

It's true! It's true! I often go to shows, traveling light, with a paperback shoved down my waistband. And you know, if I saw you standing alone with your book, I could at least strike up a conversation about it.

Oh man, I've been watching it while doing dishes so missing all the subtleties. I do have a new role model for life, however. If I can someday be as calm and competent as Jeeves.

YEA!!!!! *Kermit hands*

I do love a good county fair. That is what you mean, isn't it? *bats eyelashes innocently*
