Musically gifted cats…

Techno cat makes me pee my pants with laughter.

Just for shits and giggles…

R2-D2 Chorus Line

What is Steve Job’s fucking problem???

If  you haven’t read THE Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs let me just cut to the chase and give you the readers digest version, Steve Jobs is sick.  What more, he seems to be an arrogant S.O.B. in the face of his customers, investors, and company (in that order) by virtue of the direct statement “So now I’ve said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.”  If you’re one of the Mac faithful (clones, droids, or worshipers) may I remind you that I am an Apple fan and customer also.  So don’t bother flaming my ass with comments, because I’ll delete them faster than a negative product review on Apple’s website. What bothers me about Steve’s attitude at this moment is that something as simple as an erroneous news article (like the accidental publishing of his prepared obit by a news agency, or even a rumor that he’s had a heart attack) can send Apple stock down faster than an intern on Clinton’s crotch (either one, they’re both fair game).  Okay, he’s opened up.  He’s sick.  That’s about all you can gleam from his vague statements of his health.  If he’s opening up at this point (not that he could hide inside his skeletal frame any longer) is this good or bad?  He didn’t open up about his pancreas cancer, which carries a mortality rate of slim to none (okay, it’s more like 99%, but why split hairs?)  He didn’t tell anyone at work until after he had his Whipple procedure done (uh, nothing like having your guts rearranged for shits and giggles).  Is his opening up now to calm the ranks of news reporters that will hound his ass like Britney Spears on a bender until he’s dead?  I’m not so faithful of his always well scripted words anymore.

Ben said that “…and John all need to do this survey…” I don’t think he was talking about me, but just in case…

The refrigerator is humming away, that’s about it.

What does your last text message in your inbox say?
What’s a text message?

Where were you Friday night?
At home recovering from eye surgery.

Has anyone ever mistaken you for someone else?
Yeah, a guy named David that looks just like me.  We worked together in a restaurant, but had to work separate shifts because it was too easy to get us mixed up.

Next vacation you’ re going on?
Vacation?  What’s that???  I have no kids or spouse, my life is a vacation.

Do you like to text or call more?
Call, it’s more intimate; some find social contact to be annoying, so I get some satisfaction out of it.

What’s the closest blue object to you?
Thomas, in a blue sweatshirt.

Been there, done that.  Did her cousin too.

Orange is a polarizing colour, so yeah, I wear it well.

Cold and rainy.

Don’t remember, it’s been a few days.

In bed.

Midnight, I turn into a sleepy pumpkin about then.


Whose bed did you sleep in last night?
Mine.

I bet you’re wrong.

Is there a high chance of you going out to the movies soon?
No.

Are any of your friends taller than you?
A few, not many though. 

Sounds Familiar, smells familiar

For those of you who have never walked into a “record shop”, you have no idea what I’m about to talk about, so I urge you to find out on your own. 

My brother wanted a P!nk CD for Christmas, turns out all the stores that carry CDs near him (like Hell-Mart) didn’t carry the unedited version (see the reason here).  So it’s up to big brother in the not so big city to find the right version.  I went to Sounds Familiar and nearly fainted when I stepped inside.  Not only does it look like a record shop, it SMELLS LIKE A RECORD SHOP!!!  I felt like I was 16 again, perusing the bins at The Music Staff for everything imaginable. 

Needless to say, I’m going back to investigate thier inventory.
